Nonononononononononononononono. I recommend checking the pokemon's base stats b4 creating a moveset, and rhyperior is no exception. Its special attack is that of a stick, so you only want physical moves on it. Here's the CB set:

[email protected]
Adamant
252 Attack, rest in HP and defense
~Avalanche
~EQ
~Stone edge
~Mehahorn

That is much better. It really dishes out punishment.

There are 2 members viewing this thread who will most likely post the same moveset.

The Nature would help. Adamant at best.

Rhyperior @ Choice Band
EV: 252 Atk/ 200 HP/ 44 Def
-Stone Edge
-Earthquake
-Fire Fang
-Thunder Fang

ok ill try to use this info for future reference
thanx

one sec... how do you make a rhyperior learn fire fang and ice fang?

Anti September 17th, 2007 12:54 PM

You know there are more sets...like the substitute-SD set, though I'm used to using rhydon in 3rd gen...rhyperior has an outstanding physical movepool, use it. If you go with the CB set, it will be a pick 2 and go, the other two slots having EQ and stone edge, which it really needs.

First rule, Hyper Beam moves really suck.
Secondly please do NOT use Sp.Attacks on Rhyperior as it has a pitiful special attack stat.

you got Earthquake right though.

try this

name: Swords Dance
move 1: Swords Dance
move 2: Earthquake
move 3: Stone Edge
move 4: Substitute / Megahorn / Avalanche
item: Leftovers
ability: Solid Rock
nature: Adamant
evs: 252 HP / 252 ATK / 6 DEF


or this


name: Defensive Tank
move 1: Earthquake
move 2: Stone Edge
move 3: Megahorn / Avalanche
move 4: Stealth Rock / Roar / Substitute
item: Leftovers
ability: Solid Rock
nature: Impish
evs: 252 HP / 6 ATK / 252 DEF

i never use Rhyperior myself so this is copy and pasted from smogon.

Well...no. Rock wrecker kinda...well, really sucks. Stone edge>rock slide, and stats and level are irrelevant. Only EVs and nature you really need...just so you know in the future.

EDIT: And yeah, max attack EVs, and close to max HP...if you use the substitute set, get your HP to 404 to make 101 subs for blissey...
