What should I do with my Rhinos?

After the Rock-type event I ended up having several good IVs Rhyhorns and Rhydons but none of them were with perfect movesets. I guess now having a good Rhydon is essential for countering Raid bosess so I wonder, what should I do with these guys?

Rhyhorn CP1104 lvl24 72%IV 13/12/8
Rhyhorn CP933 lvl20 84%IV 13/12/13
Rhyhorn CP844 lvl18 91%IV 12/15/14

Rhydon CP2487 lvl28 56%IV 8/14/3 Mud Slap/Stone Edge
Rhydon CP2003 lvl22 73%IV 11/10/12 Mud Slap/Megahorn
Rhydon CP1849 lvl20 86%IV 12/13/14 Rock Smash/Earthquake

I have 166 candies. Should I power one of my current Rhydons up? Or should I evolve one of my Rhyhorns hoping to get a good moveset? Maybe I should get TMs and reroll moves for some of my Rhydons?
Hoping to get an advice from you! :)

Save the highest level highest IV subpar Movesets for gen4s evolution. Invest in some if you want though.

Tough situation. Not optimal.

Rhyhorn CP1104 lvl24 72%IV 13/12/8
Rhyhorn CP933 lvl20 84%IV 13/12/13
Rhyhorn CP844 lvl18 91%IV 12/15/14

None of these are super fantastic. In this attacking meta you'd want as high an attack stat as possible. And you want to put those 166 candies to good use. You need lots of candy to power up and possibly save some for Rhyperior (gen 4). So evolving doesn't look attactive.

TM's are rare. You could use a fast TM on the 86% to get double ground moves. Don't use it on Earthquake to try for double rock as you might just get megahorn.

You could use a fast TM on the first one to get double rock. It's not high IV's, but at level 28 it would be immediately useful. Not sure that I would do much levelling up of that one.

But overall, I think your best option right now might be taking down a level 4 raid Rhydon, if level 4 raids are realistic for you.

It also needs to be considered what your Golem situation is like. In most cases Golem would be a solid substitute for Rhydon.

Thank you for your anwser! It's very detailed.
I guess I could try to get Rhydon on the raid, I haven't really thought about it.
Talking about Golems, I have one with MS/EQ on lvl18 and another with RT/RB on lvl22. Both of them have really good IVs. Currently I'm powering up the second one as it's very essential to have a strong rock-type attacker by the time legendaries arrive.

Yeah, but the reason I bothered myself with these Rhinos whas that I realized that I don't have decent ground type mon which could've counter many raid bosses, especially Tyranitar which I had hard times fighting with yesterday.
