Rock Incense is a held item in the Pokémon series that boosts the power of Rock-type moves by 20% when held by a Pokémon. This enhancement adds an advantage in battles by amplifying the damage output of moves such as Rock Slide, Stone Edge, and Rock Throw. Therefore, it becomes a valuable asset for Rock-type Pokémon or others that utilize Rock-type moves.
Aside from its use in battles, Rock Incense also plays a crucial role in Pokémon breeding. When a Sudowoodo carries Rock Incense while breeding with a compatible partner, the resulting offspring will be a Bonsly, Sudowoodo's pre-evolution form. This functionality emphasizes the item's importance beyond battle strategies, offering significant contributions to gameplay aspects involving the breeding and collection of Pokémon species.
Rock Incense made its first appearance in the Pokémon series in Generation IV, debuting in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. It is designed to resemble a small, polished stone, symbolizing its inherent connection with Rock-type Pokémon.
Considering competitive play, Rock Incense is less commonly used compared to other held items, possibly due to its specific benefits limited to Rock-type moves.
