Why aren't using this more in doubles?
>Excellent 112 base speed
>Defiant to shit on intimidate and icy wind spam
>Stab fake out
>Knock off and sucker punch
It's been doing exceptionally well on my team

Not him but, in the case of Rhypherior, I won't ever use it because its design is vomit-inducing compared to Rhydon's. I'm 24.

Its Atk is weak and Normal coverage isn't doing much if anything. Mega Kang had Fake Out, bulk to brag about, pretty nice Speed, and high Atk with essentially a 1.5x multiplier that broke Sashes/Subs.

I wanted to use Purugly, but its Atk being so low doesn't help its fragility.

Mega mom takes up a mega slot and has worst speed, with how common intimidate is you are pretty much guaranteed to get a defiant boost as well making it's lower attack stat negligable.

Well start looking, as ironic as it is this mon is a pretty solid counter to incineroar and landorus being able to get the ko with a combo of fake out and return.

+1 252 Atk Life Orb Purugly Fake Out vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Incineroar: 103-122 (26.1 - 30.9%) -- guaranteed 4HKO

+1 252 Atk Life Orb Purugly Return vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Incineroar: 261-308 (66.2 - 78.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

+1 252 Atk Life Orb Purugly Fake Out vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Landorus-Therian: 103-122 (32.2 - 38.2%) -- 97.1% chance to 3HKO

+1 252 Atk Life Orb Purugly Return vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Landorus-Therian: 259-305 (81.1 - 95.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

Unless landorus is running scarf superpower

Because

>Normal is a shit type
>Even with one or two defiant boosts it's attack will be average at best
>Absolutely zero bulk
>Pretty limited support movepool

It can work as a niche support, but there's nothing it does other VGC supporters can do too, do better, and bring more to the table.

>It's been doing exceptionally well on my team
Show replays then bucko.

>Normal is a shit type
No dispute there but stab fake out is a good boon
>Even with one or two defiant boosts it's attack will be average at best
Read the calcs I posted here
>>36694775

>Absolutely zero bulk
It's not meant to be a tank
>Pretty limited support movepool
It gets a fast charm which can shut down physical attackers as a gimmick and again fake out.

>Show replays then bucko.
Ok let me clear out some space my replays are maxed out atm

I truly don't understand several of the design choices with Rhyperior. The abrupt color change is one of the biggest things I dislike about it.

Then it is still shit because all the shit you posted can be done by a ton of much better offensive threats. I'd rather go use something like Koko if I need a frail speedy attacker. As an attacker, it is outclassed by many other Pokemon.

>Muh Fake Out
If you're using Fake Out primarily for damage then you're already doing it wrong.

I know. I can understand trying to go with the shogun theme with the padding but the arms and tail were a big mistake. I think they should've just scrapped it entirely and tried for a different Rhydon evolution design.

It's not bad but looks more like a mega evolution instead of a regular evolution.
