Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl How to Break Rocks

When Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl players make their way through Oreburgh gate for the first time or another cave-like dungeon area, they might notice some annoying rocks that are blocking the way. These particular rocks in the Pokemon series can be broken by using a move called Rock Smash and this guide will show players how to get it and how it works in the Gen 4 remakes.

How to Break Rocks in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl

Once players make their way to the Oreburgh Gate cave, they will see a hiker as soon as they walk in from Route 203. If players have obtained the Poketch item from Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl’s Jubilife City (this is obtained by finding all three clowns in the city and correctly answering their questions), the Hiker will give players TM98, which is a Technical Machine for the move “Rock Smash.” He will also add a new application to the Poketch that lets players use Hidden Moves, like Rock Smash.

However, before players can use Rock Smash from the Poketch app, they will need to defeat the first gym leader of the Sinnoh region, Roark of Oreburgh City. Using Rock Smash from the Hidden Moves app lets players use the help of a wild Pokemon to perform the move, otherwise, players will need to go into the menu and teach one of their Pokemon the TM for Rock Smash, but a TM can only be used once, so players should use it on the right Pokemon.

Once players have Rock Smash in their possession, whether via the Poketch or one of their own Pokemon, all they need to do is approach the rock and press A to break it and a neat animation of a large first will appear.

This is just the first of the many Hidden Moves that Pokemon trainers will gather on their journey through the Sinnoh region. Moves like Surf and Fly will become available to players eventually, offering them more ways to get around.

Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Pokemon Shining Pearl are out now for the Nintendo Switch.
