Breakable rocks are a type of obstacle appearing in many core series games, commonly found on rugged routes and in caves. To get past them, the player must use the help of a Pokémon to break them. They appear in Generations II, III, IV, and VI, and Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, in which they can be broken using the field move Rock Smash, and in Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon, in which they can be broken using the Ride Pokémon Tauros Charge and Sharpedo Jet. In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, they can be broken by throwing a Pokémon at them.
In regions other than Sinnoh, it is possible for the player to find something after breaking a breakable rock. In Generations II and III, there is a chance of a wild Pokémon appearing. In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver and in Generation VI, there is a chance of either a wild Pokémon or an item appearing. In Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon, there is a chance of an item appearing.
In Pokémon X and Y only, the player can also come across cracked walls in and around ruined buildings. These, like breakable rocks, block off certain areas and can be broken using Rock Smash. However, they do not leave behind any items or Pokémon upon being destroyed.
Generation II
When a rock is smashed, there is a 60% chance that nothing will happen afterwards and a 40% chance that a Pokémon will appear.

Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver
When a rock is smashed, the game generates a random number from 0 to 99. If the generated number is lower than the location's first %, the game will generate an encounter with a wild Pokémon from the encounter table. If this fails, or there are no wild encounters in that location, it will generate a random number from 0 to 99 for an item instead using the second %; if that check fails as well, smashing the rock yields nothing.
There are certain factors that influence the number generated by the game when it comes to the items[1]:
- If the move is performed by a walking Pokémon, or one that has Keen Eye, Magnet Pull or Suction Cups, the odds are increased by a flat 5%; this can stack.
- If the Pokémon has Serene Grace or Super Luck, the game will pick item on the slot below (unless it chose the 5% item), effectively making it so that breaking the rock will never yield the 25% item.

Generation V
Rock Smash is not a field move, and there are no breakable rocks like in other games. In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, however, the player can help clear a section of boulders in Clay Tunnel if a Pokémon in their party knows Rock Smash.
Generation VI
When a rock is smashed, there is an even chance that: nothing will happen afterwards, a Pokémon will appear, or an item will appear.

Breakable rocks can appear both on land and in the water. On land, these rocks can be broken by the Poké Ride Tauros Charge; in the water, they can be broken by the Poké Ride Sharpedo Jet.
When these rocks are broken, occasionally a sparkling item will be left the aftermath, making a noise while the player is near it until they pick it up.
