Best Rock Type Pokémon in Pokémon Legends: Arceus

There are some very powerful Rock-type Pokémon for players to choose from in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. A new regional variant, Hisuian Arcanine, tops the list of who is strongest, but there are many other options as well.

Hisuian Arcanine

Hisuian Arcanine is worth having in a party for its stats alone. It has a fantastic attack and special attack, and none of the remaining stats really put it at a disadvantage in battle. Hisuian Arcanine's biggest downside is its dual Fire and Rock-typing. This gives it a 4x weakness to both Ground and Water-type moves, which can really hinder the Pokémon in battle. Players using Hisuian Arcanine should consider these weaknesses when choosing which Pokémon to challenge.

Hisuian Arcanine's Stats and Strengths/Weaknesses

• Type: Fire and Rock
• Stat Total: 555
  • HP: 95
  • Attack: 115
  • Special Attack: 95
  • Defense: 80

Other strong Rock Type Pokémon in Pokémon Legends: Arceus

Familiar Pokémon like Rhyperior and Probopass also get recognition as they are solid choices for players needing a good Rock-type Pokémon on their team. Another new Hisuian regional variant, Hisuian Avalugg, is also a great choice.

Rhyperior

Rhyperior has great stats, with a staggering 140 attack stat that can take out many opponents in a few moves. It shares its biggest downside with Hisuian Arcanine, as it has two 4x weaknesses in Water and Grass-type moves. These are common typings in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, so players should be cautious when using Rhyperior.

  • Special Attack: 55
  • Defense: 130

Hisuian Avalugg has great attack and defense stats, giving it a spot as one of the best Rock-type Pokémon, but these stats aren't always enough as Avalugg has a 4x weakness to Fighting and Steel-type moves. It can also fall behind when it comes to special attack and special defense compared to other Rock-type options.
