Best Use
- Use Rockler when Rock Fragment mining is the clear goal.
- Choose it over Galebender when you need a safer wall instead of an aggressive brawler.
- Choose it over crystal picks when Stone, not rare gems, blocks progression.

Team Tips

- Do not spend Stone on routes where Stealth Rock never has time to matter.
- Stop once mining gear or basic canyon upgrades are complete.
- Return when a short canyon wall is safer than a high-risk gem route.
Common Mistakes
- Expecting Rockler to produce rare gem value.
- Using Stealth Rock in fights that end before setup matters.
