It's okay. But rhyhorn is cooler and there aren't many similar pokemon so I think it sucks that its appearance changes so much when it evolves.

Golem
Rhydon has superior stats, sure, but by the time you get Rhyhorn (dogshit stats comparable to Geodude) you could already have Golem. You then have to train your shitty Rhyhorn with its awful moveset up to 42 to get +10 attack over Golem and some HP that doesn't matter because they both die to Water Gun anyway.

Depends on the gen, but in gen 2 it's pretty clearly Golem. I can block Thunders from the electrics, Rapid Spin away spike, threaten Lax with Boom, hit Forretress with Fire Blast, and use a Curse set while bluffing Rapid Spin.

Golem line should've been pure rock, and Rhydon line should've been pure ground.
Hate that theres so many rock/ground types.

RBY OU already settled this years ago. Golem dropped to UU, so Rhydon is better. It's even better now with Eviolite and Rhyperior.

Golem has Explosion and is faster than Rhydon. That literally makes them two equally valid choices with neither being necessarily superior to the other.

The fact that Golem can use its own body to execute Rock Throw makes it so much cooler, and Rhydon definitely has its benefits too.

Rhydon looks cool but fuck is he slow as shit. And both are critically weak to Water and Grass. It's funny that Rhyperior's ability just reduces SE damage it takes because Gamefreak knows how much damage it takes. Should've become pure Rock with an ability like Bombirdier's that gives it STAB on Ground too.

Golem's speed hardly ever matters though. There's a reason why Golem dropped but Rhydon didn't.

Gen 1-3 its golem, both in a normal playthrough and competitively. Golem does everything Rhydon does and more and wins the 1v1 against rhydon due to its superior speed

After rhyperior though it's not a question due to evolite.

>competitively
This is just plain wrong. In Gen 1, Rhydon's better than Golem due to having more Attack, equivalent bulk, and the same moves. Golem's better in Gen 2 due to having Rapid Spin (if you play online, since it's an NYPC move), but Rhydon goes back to being better in Gen 3 and beyond.
