Rock Smash Effect

Rock Smash In-Game.jpg

Has the user dash in the designated direction and strike with a flowing motion, dealing damage to opposing Pokemon it hits. This move can be used an additional two times, and the third time it is used, any hits are always critical hits, and it throws opposing Pokemon. The user's next basic attack after using this move becomes a boosted attack, and if the boosted attack hits, it restores the user's HP.

How to Use Rock Smash

Charge Before Punching

Always charge Rock Smash first before hitting targets. The additional damage you deal can be effective in the early game.

Move while Charging

Since you can move while charging Rock Smash, you can take advantage of this mechanic to get into range before releasing it.

Set Up with Headbutt

You can use Headbutt to get close, stun your target, and set up Rock Smash. This acts as your primary combo in the early game.
