The only way to get TM76 Stealth Rock is by beating the first Gym Leader Roark in Oreburgh City. No other copy of the TM exists elsewhere in the game.
Stealth Rock is a Rock-type Status move that lays an entry hazard trap around the target Pokémon team, dealing damage to each Pokémon that enters battle (see below).

Once you’ve defeated him, Roark will award you both the Coal Badge and TM76 Stealth Rock.
Stealth Rock Details and Uses
Stealth Rock’s purpose is to set an “entry hazard” trap for an opponent’s team—in other words, any Pokémon that enters the battle once Stealth Rock is in place will sustain damage.
It does not make direct contact unless the opponent switches a new Pokémon into battle.

The amount of damage dealt by Stealth Rock is dependent upon a rock-type moves’ effectiveness against the opposing Pokémon.
This is demonstrated in the following table:
| Rock-Type Effectiveness | Damage (% of Max. HP) |
|---|---|
| 0.25x | 3.125% |
| 0.5x | 6.25% |
| 1x | 12.5% |
| 2x | 25% |
| 4x | 50% |
Stealth Rock does not stack if used multiple times consecutively. It does not affect Pokémon with the Magic Guard ability, and is negated by the moves Rapid Spin and Defog (if used against a Pokémon affected by Stealth Rock).
In the right conditions it can be devastating.
But overall, the efficacy of the move is a bit unpredictable, as the toll it takes depends on the actions of the opposing player and the type of Pokémon they use.
