He specializes in Rock-type Pokémon and is known for his stoic demeanor, rock-solid defenses, and iconic Onix. In the anime, Brock becomes one of Ash Ketchum's longest-running traveling companions, serving as a mentor figure, a skilled Pokémon breeder, and an aspiring Pokémon doctor.

Onix, Brock's signature Pokémon, is a massive Rock/Ground-type, famous for its incredible size and durability. It evolves from none and does not evolve further. Its type combination gives it weaknesses to Water, Grass, Ice, Fighting, and Ground moves, while resisting Electric, Fire, Flying, Normal, and Poison types. Brock and Onix have become cultural touchstones, representing the early challenges and growth experienced by new Pokémon trainers, and symbolizing the strength and resilience of Rock-type Pokémon. Their enduring popularity stems from their integral roles in the original games and anime, cementing their place in Pokémon history.
