Trivia

  • In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, Rock Climb can be obtained and used as an HM, after Viridian City Gym Leader Blue has been defeated. This makes Rock Climb the only HM that requires a Gym Badge outside of the starting region in order to be used.
  • Rock Climb was the last HM move to be introduced.
  • Some of the Pokémon that can learn Rock Climb, such as Cubone, appear to lack the physique required to climb walls while carrying a human.
  • In Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, the Gligar and Zigzagoon evolutionary lines, as well as Bidoof, cannot learn Rock Climb, despite being able to learn this move by breeding in previous generations.
