Unlocking Brock
Brock is trapped in the Void. To free him, collect and spend:
- 75 Ground Essences — dropped by defeating Ground-type Pokémon
- 75 Rock Essences — dropped by defeating Rock-type Pokémon
Once unlocked, Brock starts with an empty Pokémon collection limited to Ground and Rock types, and only those you catch while playing as him.
Playstyle
Brock rewards defensive, attrition-based play. His stat boosts and starting Defense bonus make his Pokémon significantly harder to knock out. His type restriction (Rock/Ground only) means you'll be building around a fairly narrow but deep pool — Geodude line, Onix line, Larvitar line, Sandaconda, Garchomp, and more.
Ground types give Brock excellent coverage against Electric, Fire, Poison, Rock, and Steel — and immunity to Electric entirely.
Signature Pokémon
Brock's signature starter is Onix, which has a unique Crystal Leviathan Alt Build available immediately. Additional signature Pokémon unlock through the Skill Tree:
Comfey (level 9), Vulpix (level 17), Croagunk (level 25), Happiny (level 41), Mudkip (level 33), Geodude (level 49), Bonsly (level 56), Pineco (level 77), Zubat (level 63), Lotad (level 70).
