Offensive Moves Explanation

  • Smack Down should be paired with Stone Edge for high-tier Rock DPS.

  • Mud Slap should go with Earthquake for similarly high-tier Ground DPS.

  • When both are super effective, Surf performs better than Earthquake, but it’s poor otherwise.

Defensive Moves Explanation

  • Smack Down is marginally better than Mud Slap. Both are defensively solid.

  • Stone Edge is preferred for defense due to its early damage window.

  • Surf is Rhyperior’s only 2-bar move, but it’s weak vs. Water and Grass types.

  • Earthquake is slow and easy to dodge.

Rating Explanation

Rhydon already had great stats, but its brand new evolution has superior ones, plus STAB movesets of both its types.

With Rock-type moves, its performance is very similar to that of legacy Tyranitar, and that will be welcome news for those who missed Larvitar Community Day. As a Ground-type attacker it can’t quite touch the likes of Groudon and Garchomp, but it’s still a great option and likely easier to obtain than those two.

Rhyperior is also very tanky, but its potential as a defender is ruined by the easily exploitable double weaknesses to Grass and Water. The weakness to Fighting doesn’t help either.
