Stealth Rock lays a trap of stones around the foe, which hurts Pokémon switching in to the opposing field. The rocks inflict variable damage — a fraction of the Pokémon's maximum HP, based on its susceptibility to the Rock type, as shown in the table.
For example, a Fighting type switching in would lose 1⁄16 their maximum HP since Rock is not very effective against it. A Fire/Flying type would lose 1⁄2 their HP since Rock is super-effective against both Fire and Flying.
Stealth Rock can be cleared from the field by the moves Rapid Spin (around the user) or Defog (around the target).
These are the worst Pokémon to switch in on a Stealth Rock trap:
When a Pokémon is holding Rockium Z and uses its Z-Power, Stealth Rock turns into Z-Stealth Rock and raises Defense one stage, in addition to its usual effect as above.
