1. Using Pokemon Abilities:
* Rock Smash: This is the most common way. Some Pokemon, like Onix, learn the move Rock Smash. It breaks rocks and allows you to pass through them.
* Strength: This move can push rocks aside. While it doesn't "smash" them, it effectively removes them from your path.
2. Using Items:
* EXP. Share: This item can be used to level up your Pokemon faster. It also has a hidden ability to break rocks in some games, such as Pokemon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald.
3. Using a Certain Pokemon's Signature Move:
* Rock Wrecker: The Pokemon, Rhyperior, learns this devastating move that can destroy rocks and even some walls.
4. Exploiting the Environment:
* Hidden Paths: Sometimes, rocks are hiding pathways leading to hidden areas or trainers. Look around carefully to find these pathways.
Remember: The availability of these methods and specific details may vary between different Pokemon games. Always be sure to explore the environment and talk to NPCs to discover the best way to deal with those pesky rocks!
