In other games

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series

In theRescue Team,Explorers, andAdventure Squad series, Rock Smash is a non-damaging move which turns a wall tile in front of the user into a floor tile, even if there is a Pokémon inside it. It is incapable of destroying walls used for locked chambers as well as those at the edge of a floor, nor can it be used diagonally. The move was unaffected byTaunt prior to the Explorers series.

FromGates to Infinity onwards, Rock Smash is now a damaging move that may lower target's Defense. It retains its ability to remove wall tiles inSuper Mystery Dungeon.

Super Smash Bros. series

InSuper Smash Bros. Brawl, Rock Smash isCharizard's Side Special move. Unlike in the Pokémon games, Charizard will create a boulder and crush it with its head, producing multiple fragments of debris that fly off for extra damage. Rock Smash has high damage and knockback and can potentially KO a foe at low damage.

InSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U, Rock Smash has been made Charizard's Down Special move, withFlare Blitz taking its former position. It was weakened greatly, but now also grants armor to protect Charizard from incoming attacks.

InSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate, Rock Smash was removed from Charizard's moveset in favor ofPokémon Change, as Charizard has been reincorporated back into thePokémon Trainer character.

Trivia

Rock Smash is the onlyFighting-type HM move.
Rock Smash is the only move to start as aTM, become an HM, revert to being a TM again, and then revert to an HM.
Rock Smash andRock Climb are the only moves to have the wordrock in their name and not beRock-type.
- Coincidentally, both have been HM moves at some point.
In theGeneration V games, Rock Smash uses the Rock-type TM icon instead of the correct Fighting-type icon.
Although Rock Smash is described as a "punch", it does not have its power increased byIron Fist.
