Effect
Generation IV
Stealth Rock sets an entry hazard around the target Pokémon. Pokémon on the target's field receive damage upon switching in. The amount of damage inflicted upon switching in is affected by the effectiveness of Rock against the target. It also does not stack if multiple layers are set. It does not damage Pokémon with the Ability Magic Guard. Rapid Spin removes Steath Rock from the user's side of the field if it affects its target; Defog removes the effect of Stealth Rock from the target's side of the field if it affects its target.
The damage is taken from the victim's maximum HP, and follows:
| Type effectiveness | Damage (Max. HP) |
|---|---|
| 0.25× | 3.125% |
| 0.5× | 6.25% |
| 1× | 12.5% |
| 2× | 25% |
| 4× | 50% |
Regardless of the weather, as Castform transforms after entry hazards take effect, Castform only takes 12.5% damage.
Generation V
Stealth Rock can now be reflected by Magic Coat.
Generation VI onwards
Defog now clears Stealth Rock from both sides.
Stealth Rock is unaffected by strong winds. In an Inverse Battle, Stealth Rock uses the inverted weakness and resistance to Rock to calculate damage.
Stealth Rock can be used as part of a Contest Spectacular combination, causing Circle Throw, Dragon Tail, Roar, and Whirlwind to give extra three appeal points if used in the next turn.
Any Pokémon that appear after calling for help during SOS Battles are subject to Stealth Rock.
If powered up by a Rockium Z into Z-Stealth Rock, it will raise the user's Defense stat by one stage.
Using G-Max Stonesurge will set up Stealth Rock on the target's side of the field.
In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Stealth Rock deals direct damage, followed by damage each turn. It has a base power of 40.

| User | First Used In | Notes | |
|
Onix's body becomes surrounded in several silver glitters that grow larger and fire around the battlefield. The energy then grows larger and forms into pointed gray rocks that sit on the ground. When the opponent sends out another Pokémon, the rocks around it rise into the air, glow white, and crush the opponent. | ||

 |
Multiple glowing rocks rise in front of Steelix's body. The rocks then stop glowing and are fired towards the opponent, landing in the ground around them. If the opponent steps on the stones, they glow orange and explode. | ||
| Levi's Steelix | Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel | None | |
 |
Probopass's eyes glow light blue and its Mini-Noses spin around its body, forming a light blue ring of energy on the ground around the opponent. After the glow fades, if the opponent steps on the area where the glow was, a gray stone pillar appears where they stepped on, damaging the opponent. The area that glowed is then filled with similar stone pillars, surrounding the opponent. | ||
