Agreed. It was good when normal was the premiere offensive type, but those days are long since gone. Nowadays Rock is just an awful defensive typing, and it definitely deserves some buffs. Perhaps it could at least resist itself so that rock types don’t get worn down as hard by stealth rock.

I do wish this was a rock/electric type. It honestly makes way more sense given the moves it learns and it would've been a nice niche typing for a while before the alolan geodude line came along.
Dang this was impressively detailed for a Pokemon that didn't have the most successful career and I appreciate the mention of FEAR Probopass, which is just so much fun to use. Probopass feels a lot like Diancie to me, where they both have really good defenses, but lack a typing to back it up mainly just because Rock is bad. Yeah, Diancie can actually defend itself with Fairy Stab, but the similarity is still pretty strong. Makes me think that a Mega Evolution in the style of Diancie's would have been perfect for it. Maybe even change its typing to give it stab on its plethora of Electric coverage

I feel like they should slightly reassign the weaknesses of the Ice, Rock, and Steel types. All three share similar weaknesses (All weak to Fighting and at least two each weak to Fire, Ground, and Steel, funnily enough) and most of their Pokemon are designed around being high-defense tanks, but only Steel actually succeeds at that.

Perhaps Substitute with Grassy Terrain support can better use its defensive side, but Corvinight and other Steel types it could trap can't be walled because of moves like Body Press.
That arguably would have been worse unless it inverted its stats upon Evolution and became a speedy glass cannon, as Rock/Electric is more of an offensive type than a defensive one.
