You're one of those who fell for the Eviolite Rhydon meme, right?

The added HP and Solid Rock still ultimately makes Rhyperior the superior choice

>Rhydon has rock head and reckless
>Rhydon gets an evolution that LOSES rock head the same generation a rock type recoil move with the highest recoil and base damage in the game is introduced, and then gets a shitty retarded rock type hyper beam with the same base power as head smash instead of head smash so it can't even use reckless instead
>got barely any BST boost besides +10 in every stat except for speed, when speed would have been the stat it really needed since it's so strong it could have pulled off a rock polish set if it was even a bit faster
>solid rock becomes obsolete with the addition of eviolite Rhydon

Everything that could have went wrong went wrong. Picture a world where Rhyperior got an offensive ability like adaptability instead of solid rock, with a stat spread more like:
>115 HP
>145 atk
>130 def
>55 spatk
>50 spdef
>60 spe

Then why is Solid Rock Rhyperior still the superior choice?

People thought the same thing about Blissey and it took an entire generation for them to realize they were wrong.

Also, because Rhyperior runs both offensive and defensive sets and rhyperior is still superior to rhydon offensively. But if you ever see defensive rhyperior they're obsolete.

You mean the upper arm? because Rhyperior has some pretty big forearms.

rhyperior only looks good because it's 2d
there's pretty much no way to make a fat rock rhino on 2 legs look good when you can see it's just a fat rock rhino on 2 legs

No, it is just the game mechanics changed that made Chansey the better choice.

No game mechanics changed, if anything Chansey was a better choice in gen V than it was in gen VI and VII because the buffed up knock off hadn't been introduced and it basically never lost it's eviolite

You went from infinite sand to no infinite sand. Defog wasn't a thing yet so it was much easier to get worn down with hazards. Leftovers was the better option.

Even Dusk? When it's ability enables Accelerock to be as strong as Extreme Speed and makes Drill Run a better Earthquake?

Togh claws accelerock is not as strong as extreme speed, it's weaker than scizor's bullet punch. No STAB on drill run undermines it, and it's only 4bp stronger than EQ anyway.

Honestly, Rhyperiir should had been a Mega for Rhydon since the beginning (I know it was Gen 4 when Rhyperior was created but still)
