>>32059507Sorry, I made a very bad grammar error right there (not native speaker here): I meant quintessential, not fifth essential.
Anyway, Rhyperior was the worst received out of all the cross evos from gen IV simply because the Rhyhorn line was already complete as it was, visually and thematically. Rhyperior added nothing new to the table, and because of that it had to take a completely different direction that truly wasn't needed by the Rhyhorn line. Even Probopass made more sense as an evolution, and that speaks volumes.
It would have worked much better as a Mega Rhydon, but it was created seven years earlier for that.
