Roark is the first gym leader you will encounter on your adventure through the Sinnoh
region. The type of Pokemon he uses is Rock. His team can be pretty powerful if you don't
have an advantage against him.

[u]Types Recommended[/u]
-Water
-Grass
-Fighting
-Steel
-Ice (for the half-Ground-type Pokemon)

First, Roark will send out his Geodude.
 : Geodude shouldn't be a problem for you. A simple Water or Grass attack will give Geodude
4x the amount of damage it would normally receive, due to a double super-effective hit.
 Level: 12: 
 Gender: Male: 
 Type: Rock/Ground: 
 Ability: Rock Head: 
 Moves: Rock Throw, Stealth Rock: 
 Hold Item: None: 
Next up is Onix.
 : Onix might be a little annoying, due to its somewhat high defnese and special defense.
But, like for Geodude, Onix can also receive those double super-effective hits.
 Level: 12: 
 Gender: Male: 
 Type: Rock/Ground: 
 Ability: Rock Head: 
 Moves: Rock Throw, Screech, Stealth Rock: 
 Hold Item: None: 
Lastly, Roark will send out his Cranidos.
 : Cranidos is surprisingly Roark's powerhouse. This is surprising due to its small size.
But it has a pretty great defense and special defense, and it has a pretty high attack as
well.

Aerodactyl:
 : Aerodactyl is pretty fast, and has a great arsenal of attacks. If you want to be a
little fancy, try using some Electric attacks.

 Type: Rock/Flying: 
 Ability: Rock Head: 
 Moves: Stone Edge, Aerial Ace, Earthquake, Dragon Claw: 
 Hold Item: None: 
Probopass:

Fighting-type move to enhance the double-super-effective effect.

 Type: Rock/Steel: 
 Ability: Sturdy: 
 Moves: Earth Power, Stealth Rock, Discharge, Stone Edge:

Tyranitar:

is stronger than his dad's (Byron's) Aggron.
