The Cobble Badge is a Pokémon badge awarded to trainers who defeat the Gym Leader of the Oreburgh Gym. This badge signifies a trainer's ability to handle Rock-type Pokémon, which are commonly found in the region. It is the first badge that trainers can earn in the Sinnoh region. In addition to its symbolic value, the Cobble Badge allows trainers to use the move Rock Smash outside of battle. This move is essential for breaking certain rocks and accessing hidden areas throughout the game. Collecting badges is a key part of a trainer's journey to become a Pokémon Champion.
