Brock's Rock-type team is a tough challenge, but with the right Water and Grass-type Pokémon, you can overcome his Onix, Omastar, Golem, Aerodactyl, and Kabutops. Learn his weaknesses and strategies.
Alright, so you're ready to take on Brock again, huh? He's gotten a pretty big upgrade since you first met him, but don't sweat it! If you've got some solid Water or Grass-type Pokémon in your party, you'll do just fine. Let's break down his team so you know exactly what you're up against.
Brock's Pokémon:
- Onix (Level 56) - Rock/Ground
- Omastar (Level 56) - Rock/Water
- Golem (Level 57) - Rock/Ground
- Aerodactyl (Level 56) - Rock/Flying
- Kabutops (Level 56) - Rock/Water
Walkthrough
- 1First up is Brock’s Onix. This thing hits hard with Rock Slide and Earthquake, and it'll try to set up Stealth Rock early to chip away at your Pokémon when you switch them in. Your best bet here is to use a Water or Grass-type Pokémon. They'll deal quadruple damage, so you should be able to knock it out super fast before it gets Stealth Rock off.
- 2Next, he might send out Omastar. This fossil Pokémon uses Hydro Pump for STAB and Blizzard to counter Grass-types. It also has Reflect to boost its defense against your physical attacks. Again, Grass-types are your best friend here. If you don't have a strong Grass-type, Electric-types can also do well against Omastar.
- 3Then there's Golem. While it's not much stronger than the others, it's still a threat. It uses Rock Slide and Earthquake for STAB, but it can also hit Grass-types with Fire Punch and Water-types with Thunder Punch. Stick with your Water and Grass-types; they're still your most reliable options.
- 4Aerodactyl is another fossil Pokémon and potentially the most dangerous. It can use Rock Slide to potentially flinch your Pokémon, Earthquake to hit Electric-types hard, and Crunch. Your Water-types are the safest bet here, just make sure they aren't also weak to Rock. So, if you've got a Gyarados, maybe think twice unless it's super strong.
- 5Finally, Kabutops rounds out his team. It's got Rock Slide for STAB, Aqua Jet for priority, Brick Break to break barriers, and X-Scissor. Grass-types will absolutely wreck this thing due to the massive damage they deal. Just be careful if your Grass-type is also Poison-type, as Kabutops's X-Scissor could be a problem.
Tips
- Focus on Water and Grass-type attacks. They are super effective against almost all of Brock's Pokémon.
- Try to defeat Onix quickly to prevent it from setting up Stealth Rock.
- Be mindful of Aerodactyl's potential to flinch and Earthquake.
- If you're struggling, consider leveling up your Water and Grass-types a bit more.
