Agiligross, kinda!
 
I present the new agiligross:Polishperior!It's a Rhyperior with Rock Polish:

Rhyperior-Leftovers
Adamant
EV's:58 HP/252 ATK/200 SPD
Solid Rock
-Stone Edge
-Earthquake
-Rock Polish
-Thunder Fang/Fire Fang/Ice Fang

Rhy's HP is quite bulky, so minor EV invesment should work, unlike Metgross.Speed should have most of the resting EV's.Could this set work?

Max EVs in speed. Change its nature to Jolly instead of Adamant, otherwise it won't be able to hurt threats such as Starmie or Sceptile faster. Attach a Life Orb and it will really be hurting things. Ice Fang is better than the other two fangs, as it provides better type coverage. Another option is Megahorn for the last slot. And yes, this set is already known to work.

Ryperior is too slow for Rock Polish. Even with one in, he won't outrun most threats. The reason why Agiligross is so good, is because it has average speed to outrun a lot of stuff after 1 agility, and because of it's great typing.

Rhyperior can be useful as a Rock Polisher since its more durable with HP and DEF.

It could work, I suppose.

Rhyperior-Leichi Berry
Adamant
EV's:58 HP/252 ATK/200 SPD
Solid Rock
-Stone Edge
-Earthquake
-Rock Polish
-Ice Fang

Risky but can work great in Sandstorm.

You really need max speed with perior with a mere 40 base speed...really, it would make a difference.

Iceman3k September 16th, 2007 9:04 PM

Max Speed + Jolly is required, and even if it had that, it's still not outspeeding a Pain-in-the-neck like Aerodactyl.

I use Rhyperior in conjunction with Trick room. Otherwise, use this:

[email protected] (Not Life Orb, if you are going to Rock Polish, this isn't a good idea...)
252 HP, 196 Atk, 60 Def

Substitute
Rock Polish
Earthquake/Megahorn
Stone Edge

With a Max HP Rhyperior, it has a Max HP of 404, giving it the Ability to Substitute a Seismic Toss or Night Shade and leave it with 1 HP, allowing it to Rock Polish that turn. Use Rhyperior against Dusknoir, as it cannot do great damage, and will provide the Night Shade. If it doesn't, then that is a bonus.

Note:* Just watch out for Trick Room...My Dusknoir has trick room, and If I saw a Rhyperior raising it's speed, I would Trick room it, and then switch to something which could take it.

Regards,

~M51

It's meant to be a Physical Wall, not a Sweeper.

I disagree... he has a base Attack stat of 140. Nuff said. XD

Anyways, this just gave me an idea for a new set...

Rhyperior @ Salac Berry
Jolly Nature
EVs: 252 Attack, 252 Speed, 6 HP
- Rock Polish
- Substitute/Earthquake
- Reversal
- Megahorn/Stone Edge

A Mock-Endure/Reversal Rhyperior.

With totally maxed Speed, a Rock Polish, and a Salac Berry boost, he can outrun almost all threats. Here's what you do: you bring this guy in, Rock Polish, Sub/Sweep until his HP gets lowered enough for Salac Berry to activate, and use Reversal for basically an OHKO on everything that doesn't resist it (minus maybe Skarmory, and he would be taking serious damage and be KOed by the next turn). Megahorn (preferred) or Stone Edge is just there to take care of Ghosts, who would wall the set badly otherwise.

This set may be a bit of a novelty, since Lucario is the god of the Endure/Reversal combo (and because Rhyperior can't learn any "move first" attacks), but I think it could be pulled off once certain counters are out of the way. But you MUST make sure something with a "move first" attack is down, because you'll only get one shot at a Reversal sweep.

Watch out for Choice Scarf too, that will cause this bad boy problems.

Or a Physical Tank, either way, I still don't see why all the speed is needed. But it could work.
