The Rock Badge is a Pokémon Gym Badge awarded to trainers who defeat the Gym Leader of the Rock-type Gym. It signifies that the trainer has successfully challenged and overcome the Gym's challenges, demonstrating their skill in battling Rock-type Pokémon. In the Pokémon games, obtaining the Rock Badge allows trainers to command higher-level Pokémon and grants them the ability to use the move Rock Smash outside of battle. This badge is often associated with the first few gyms in various regions, making it a key milestone for aspiring Pokémon trainers.
