Before dynamax was banned, I used Rhyperior as a great Trick Room sweeper. Basically had Claydol set Trick Room, teleport out (if I wasn't KO'd by the next move) then dynamaxed Rhyperior to throw down. Ran Choice Band so that Heat Crash 1HKO's standard Ferrothorn sets. Moveset was Rock Wrecker, Earthquake, Heat Crash, and Hammer Arm. All those max move secondary effects are extremely beneficial to this big boy.

You do realize that choice items don't provide a boost during Dynamax, right retard?

Teleport is a deprioritized switching move now anon.

You can't use Heat Crash while dynamaxed either. Choice Band is useful outside of dynamaxing - Rhyperior outspeeds Ferrothorn outside of Trick Room, so you can bring him in earlier to knock it out as a sweep interrupter.

Rhyperior is a dumb design whereas Rhydon is a god tier pokemon.

Yes it does you fucking imbecile. That's like saying Choice Band doesn't affect Take Down.

Explain. Rhyperior’s stats aren’t that much better and you can use Eviolite.

You kinda explained it yourself. Rhydon has to use Eviolite to boost its defenses, but it has a horrible defensive typing, no recovery and its only notable support move available is Stealth Rock. Rhyperior is already fairly bulky, has access to the same moves, better attack, an actual ability unlike Rhydon, and can run multiple sets/items.

>Body Press uses the user's Defense stat and stat stage in the damage formula to replace its Attack and Attack stat stage. This means any other effects that affect the user's Attack stat continue to apply, such as Choice Band and Hustle. Effects that alter the user's Defense stat other than its stat stage do nothing to change Body Press damage.

I like my eviolite Rhydon in singles, my gen 6 and 7 set was eq, rock slide, fire punch, metal burst. You could substitute body press for stab or coverage in gen 8, but I would not give up metal burst. Punishing grass and water coverage with a metal burst feels so good.

Why does Gamefreak hate this line? Seriously. Either give it recoil moves it can use or fuck off and give it new abilities. Even Solid Rock would be kino for eviolite Rhydon.

Had a Rhyperior set in Gen 7 that was surprisingly good to use despite how flawed the set can be
Rhyperior @ Assault Vest
Adamant
Solid Rock
252 HP/252 Attack/4 Sp. Defense
Earthquake, Stone Edge, Megahorn, and Aqua Tail
Again, not the best set but it's done some good work for me before
