About Rock Climb
In combat, Rock Climb will deal Normal type damage to the enemy Pokemon and also has a chance to confuse it. Outside of combat, you can use this move to climb on rocks. You can teach it to several types of Pokemon, including Chansey, Venusaur, Sandslash and Snorlax.
Obtaining Rock Climb
Rock Climb is taught by a Hidden Machine, a type of item that can be used to teach moves to Pokemon. Obtain the Hidden Machine for Rock Climb by defeating the Gym Leader of Viridian City.

Rock Climb in Other Games

Instead, certain Pokemon, such as Venipede and Ferrothorn, learn it by leveling up; other Pokemon, such as Onix and Geodude, can learn it by being bred from a male Pokemon that already knows it.
