When using Rock Smash, Charizard takes a large rock and headbutts it, shattering it into many pieces in the process.
When using Rock Smash, Charizard takes a large rock and headbutts it, shattering it into many pieces in the process.
The force of the headbutt deals high [[knockback]] and 18% damage, and after this portion of the attack, the rock shatters into three smaller pieces that fly forward in a spread effect, dealing 5% damage each. The fragments can be [[reflect]]ed. If the headbutt and all rock fragments hit, it will deal a massive 33% in damage, though this can only occur in normal matches when Rock Smash is landed point blank on a low-damage opponent. However, against [[boss]]es, Rock Smash is an extremely effective move, as their massive size and inability to [[flinch]] ensures they will always get hit by all the rock fragments when hit with Rock Smash; this is so effective that Charizard can defeat all bosses faster than any other character in ''Brawl'', and holds the world record time in [[Boss Battles]]. Rock Smash's massive damage potential also means it is one of the few moves that can break a full health [[Smash Ball]] in one hit.
In ''Smash 4'', Rock Smash's power was nerfed. However, it now has [[armor]] throughout most of its frames. In addition, it was moved to Charizard's down special move, replacing [[Pokémon Change]].
Due to Charizard becoming part of the Pokémon Trainer's team again in ''Ultimate'', Pokémon Change replaced Rock Smash as its down special move.
