Rock Smash is easily considered to be one of Charizard's best moves in ''Brawl'', as it is a damaging and powerful KO move which can be used on both the ground and in the air. The fragments can also build on some extra damage and they give the move solid shield pressuring potential, draining shield damage, easily shield poking and generally making the move difficult to punish. Even if the opponent hits Charizard before it headbutts the rock, the fragments can prematurely break early, building up damage on the opponent (allow Charizard must be hit in its upper body and the opponent must naturally be in front of Charizard). This can occur as early as frame 1 of Rock Smash's animation, allowing it to be used as a very quick, defensive damage racking tool. Because of these factors, Rock Smash is a excellent move, being a great approach tool, pressure tool, defensive tool and it is all around a great move to rack damage or to score KOes. It is one of Charizard's most useful moves as a result. | Rock Smash is easily considered to be one of Charizard's best moves in ''Brawl'', as it is a damaging and powerful KO move which can be used on both the ground and in the air.

{{iw|bulbapedia|Rock Smash|move}} is a physical Fighting-type | {{iw|bulbapedia|Rock Smash|move}}, introduced in Generation II, is a physical Fighting-type attack in the {{uv|Pokémon}} games and has alternated between {{iw|bulbapedia|TM}} and {{iw|bulbapedia|HM}} status over time. In battle, it is a generally weak move only having 40 power with a 50% chance of lowering the target's defense; it used to also be able to destroy rocks outside of battle, making it essential in completing many ''Pokémon'' games by clearing obstacles to the player's progression. Breaking rocks is also a way to find Pokémon. Starting from Generation VII however HMs were removed instead replaced by other methods. Charizard has been able to learn Rock Smash by TM or HM from the Generation II games to the Generation VI games. | ||

*This is the first special move to have its directional input changed throughout the series since the addition of side specials in ''Melee'', and one of six to do so overall. The other five are [[Boomerang]], [[Pound]], [[PK Fire]], [[Reflect Barrier]] and [[Explosive Flame]]. | *This is the first special move to have its directional input changed throughout the series since the addition of side specials in ''Melee'', and one of six to do so overall.
