Competitive Analysis

Rock Tomb is a great move for hitting Pokemon that are weak to Rock-type moves and acts as speed control because this move lowers your target's Speed stat.

In Doubles, Rock Tomb is a very valuable move, especially in matches where your opponent relies on Speed. Since the move hits both opposing Pokemon, Rock Tomb is a great way to keep both of your Pokemon in the field in an advantageous position!

A number of Pokemon built for utility, like Landorus, can use Rock Tomb.
