Thoughts on Assault Vest? Do you like using it? How do you think it stacks up against other held items?

I loved using it on Hariyama and Snorlax back in Gen 6. I think it's pretty dang balanced too.

Even with Assault Vest, Solid Rock and sandstorm up, Rhyperior won't survive special Water and Grass attacks.

Which is why I partner Rhyperior with Cradily in doubles. Storm Drain solves everything except Surf, and AV Rhyperior can tank that in doubles.

There should be a physical defense variant that doesn't let you use any attacking moves.

It's not inherently bad but it's massive noob bait. 80% of the things people throw it on would be better served with Leftovers and some status moves. Or an actual offensive item. Maybe AV is more of a BSS thing but in 6v6 singles I'd much rather have Leftovers and Stealth Rock + Toxic/SD on my Rhyperior than the ability to barely not get one-shot by Water types I don't want to manfight anyways, for example.

It does even better.

Rock Wrecker is 50% stronger and more accurate than Stone Edge. Nab surprise KOs. Don't be reckless with it and you'll be fine.

Put it on Blissey and it'll basically be invincible (to special attacks).

It's good in vgc, but not on everyone. Rhyperior is more useful with weakness policy, or even life orb.
