  • You know that rock that appears on this hill when you go into the forest on your way to Pinwheel Forest?

    Challenge Rock (n n)


    yeah that. Has anyone ever had their Pokemon try to break the rock? I tried it once but a star piece fell. But yeah I think that happens every day you break the rock.

    Has anyone ever tried to break the whole rock? If so what happens?

    I don't think you can break it... I think it's just a free daily star piece

    I never actually noticed that rock while near Pinwheel Forest, so I've never actually used rock smash on it, let alone break it. (Super Obvious)

  • I've seen it, but since I've never had a Fighting-type on my party I've never bothered with it. It's not really worth going back every day just to obtain one of those items you just re-sell anyway.

    Wow. I knew that rock had a name, but I never bothered to check it out. I'll go and do that now - I'm definitely not saying no to free stuff.

  • I don't think the Challenge Rock is totally breakable. You only go there for a free Star Piece a day, but only if you have a Fighting Pokemon.

    free star pieces = free PP ups in one of the weekend item traders in Anville Town (that town you have to catch the train to)

    so i'd say it's a pretty good deal :)

  • I knew about this already, but collecting star pieces are very useful for PP Ups... I have 21 of them in my bag now, might exchange them later.

    They're also good for getting some quick bucks if you're running out of money.
    okay... maybe not, but 4900 apiece isn't that bad.

  • Huh, I actually never knew you could get a Star Piece a day from the Challenge Rock. Then again, I never actually had a Fighting-type Pokémon on my team. If you ask me, it's a great way to earn quick cash.

    I kinda forgot about this rock when playing through...

    I heard about it beforehand and didn't really remember to do anything with it. I like how they put it where the fighting types are found though to actually utilise this rock. I'd like to say that I'll intend to hit the rock, but really, I don't think I will unless I finish that Black playthrough I've been meaning to complete or start for months.
