You can't. It's a on-hit KO move, so to counter the obvious cheapness of it, it has a 30% accuracy rate. As such, nobody uses it.

If the Pokemon are below the level your Pokemon is at the move will work, if they're above, "_____ isn't affected."

No there ain't a real way of fixing it, except using X Accuracies to increase the chance. Or go with a Lock-On / Mind Reader and a OHKO combo, which Articuno and Smeargle can learn from what I can remember.

The lower the opponents level is - the higher accuracy Horn Drill has.

If you're planning to use it in competetive - its horrible...

And also if the opponents level is higher than Rhyhorn's - it will NEVER hit,

Horn Drill is supposed to always miss. End of story. So good luck with that.

To be honest, why the heck would ANYONE want to use an OHKO Move? It's cheap. Simple as that.

lol no. Rhydon has tremendous defense.

Anyhow, horn drill has 30 accuracy...so don't expect to hit much. It has amazing attack though, so Earthquake will inflict plenty of damage itself. I recommend not using horn drill, and most people don't allow it anyways.

The item that increases accuracy only increases Horn Drill's accuracy by about 3%. As for the accuracy/ evasion moves, I'm pretty sure those are banned.

Well...no. OHKO clause...besides, it's so cheap. Not like it ever hits. It is claused so that people who use those moves don't win with foolish luck, which is the idea behind OHKO clause. Who keeps blissey in against rhydon anyways?

Ameteurs? I'm pretty good and I use skarmbliss...really, many good players use it. It's a good startegy...wow. Just wow. Anyhow, if you want to use rhydon, give it earthquake, rock slide, megahron, and focus punch. Slap on a CB and you're set.

Lol at yourself. Time for a history lesson, k. There are different kinds of tiers, and many people prefer to play in each of their preferred tiers. OU- Overused -BL Borderline -UU Underused and finally, NU-Neverused. There is also the Ubers and legendaries, who are often mixed up. Ubers, which Slaking is NOT an example of because of his bad ability. Ubers are Pokemon with great stats, (over 600). great Movepool, whichever stats in theri attack that is higher of, they have a lot of those moves, as well as a good Ability. Also, rver consider that he/she might not have the Item and can't trade yet because this is, after all, in-game? Also, he/she may not be even able to trade at all for that matter. Also, that is one short little post. It's the size of a stick. Does it matter anyways? What if he doesn't want to evolve it, or is breeding for iv's and ev training it?

Getting back on topic.
You can make Horn Drill have 100% accuracy(which means it can still miss, but highly unlikly), Machop and Evos have an ability called No Guard, The Accurecy of all moves known by all pokemon on the field raises to 100%.

so you could try Machop/Machoke/Machamp and Rhydon in a double battle

That would be banned, but would probably work. Really though, it is a banned move, just use something else.

Itachi, that was a bit unnecessary...sure rhyINFERIOR is a big tub of lard, but it IS better than rhydon...and rhydon is BL, it would destroy the UU metagame.

EQ though. PLEASE.

It doesn't matter me, I was merely curious. You seem to talk about sticks quite often. no?

He stole my line involving sticks. Anyhow...

Rhydon @ CB
252 Attack, 200 HP, 58 Def
Adamant
- Earthquake
- Rock slide
- Megahorn
- Focus Punch

Surprises skarm with focus punch on the switch.

Nononononononononononononononononono. Never thought you'd get my stream of nos Itachi. Focus punch does more than half to skarm. Or close to it. Heracross does it better, but rhydon destroyed my skarmory in 2 hits...so I happen to be right...
