Max Rockfall in Pokémon Sword & Shield
Rock-type variable-category battle move in Pokémon Sword and Shield.
Physical or special (source move)
This is a temporary Dynamax battle move, not an ordinary learnset choice. Its power and physical/special category depend on the underlying move (Max Guard is a status move), and PP is consumed from that underlying move. Exact power varies by the source move.
Move text
This is a Rock-type attack Dynamax Pokémon use. The user summons a sandstorm lasting five turns.
