History
Before the Go-Rock Squad, Professor Hastings and Gordor went to school together, and at one point worked as colleagues. However, Gordor felt that he kept falling second place behind Hastings all the time, so he broke away with him and started his own team with the intent of trouncing Hastings. Gordor had a falling-out with Hastings when Gordor wanted to use their newly created Capture Styler they had invented together to control wild Pokémon instead of helping them.

Gordor started to recruit people into his team, and soon after, the Go-Rock Squad was formed starting their plight for region domination. The Go-Rock Quads soon joined and became admins, being given the Dusk Factory to use for band practice. Many years passed before the Go-Rock Squad's real plans emerged.

Some time later, Hastings created the Super Styler, an advanced copy of the Capture Styler that perfectly captures any Pokémon, and decides to visit Spenser:0:0 in Ringtown to show him. On his way back to Fall City, the Go-Rock Squad ambush Hastings and steal the Super Styler from him. The Go-Rock Squad soon began to create hundreds of copies of the Super Styler in the Dusk Factory, but it is shut down soon after, by Hastings and the undefined. Some time later, strange reports of supernatural things begin to occur in the Jungle Relic, by which the player soon discovers that Go-Rock Squad are behind this all. Go-Rock Squad unleash by tricking the player into unlocking the fourth challenge in the Jungle Relic. Gordor then captures using Hastings original Super Styler, but is soon defeated by the player.

The Go-Rock Squad then escapes to Wintown and the Sekra Range, where their Go-Rock Squad Base can be located. Again, the player, with the help of the four Ranger Leaders, infiltrates their base and defeats all the Go-Rock Squad members. But then, in a last-ditch attempt to get rid of the player, the Go-Rock Quads decide to blow up the whole base and everything in it, however, before the bomb goes off, the player is able to escape with the help of Spenser:0:0. The remaining members, soon head up to Fiore Temple, and Gordor captures the three legendary beasts,, and  using the powers of an updated Super Styler, the Power Styler, in the form of a. He planned to use the legendary beasts to rule Fiore and defeat the Rangers, but the organ is destroyed by Solana's and Lunick's and  (by jumping on it as if it were a trampoline), enraging the beasts, who start to attack Gordor, however, they are stopped and finally set free by the player. After the failed attempt to rule Fiore, Gordor runs away. Hence, the Go-Rock Squad break up. The Go-Rock Quads leave and concentrate on their musical act. They do one last performance under the Joy Clock Tower before leaving Fiore to bring their music to distant lands. Meanwhile, one member of the Go-Rock Squad remains, renaming the squad, the "Solo Go-Rock Squad" trying to create havoc inside the Jungle Relic, but the attempt is unsuccessful.

After the attempt to make havoc in the Jungle Relic, the single member of the Go-Rock Squad regains other members of the Go-Rock Squad and plan to continue working for region domination continuing on from where Gordor stopped, by capturing with the remaining Power Stylers. However, is too strong and angry for the Go-Rock Squad to handle, so they abandon it, leaving it to Solana/Lunick to calm down.

The Go-Rock Squad doesn't appear again until they find out that Hastings is on his way to deliver a Egg to Spenser:0:0. The Go-Rock Squad hijacks Hastings and steals the Egg from him in the Lyra Forest. Solana and Lunick corner the remaining members of the Go-Rock Squad and retrieve the Egg. At this point, Gordor returns to stop the last Go-Rock member, telling him that Go-Rock Squad is dead, finally returning the player to Professor Hastings.

Other rooms contain warp panels that transport people to other rooms of the base. At the end of the base are four rooms, each for one of the members of the Go-Rock Quads.
