I was breeding for a good rhyperior and i finally got a rhydorn, adamant with good ivs,they are 30-31hp i need help with the ev spread for it. I want it to be a wall, i was thinking on 252 hp/128 attack/128 defense but I'm not sure i breed it with a torcoal to get curse on it and i will like to keep that attack on it, thats why i was thinking on that ev spread.

Sounds good but swap him out as soon as a special sweeper comes in.

I don't know about making Rhyperior a wall, One Surf will kill it as it is 4x effective, just one, And most pokemon with surf are faster than rhyperior, Like starmie, which surf is one of it's most common moves.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Newsflash: In a Sandstorm, even a Starmie's Surf won't OHKO Rhyperior.

This is because Solid Rock reduces 4x weaknesses to only 2.666x weaknesses. Sandstorm automatically boosts all Rock type's Sp. Defense by 50%, meaning even Water and Grass types will have a hard time killing Rhyperior in one hit.

252/128/128 EV spreads generally suck and show that the user doesn't know anything about proper EV spreads.

Please state the role of your Rhyperior - is it a Choice Bander, a Swords Dancer sweeper, or a physical wall? Only then can you know what EVs to give it.

The role is there, i said a wall. I choose the adamant nature so it can still do good damage even as a wall and his def. is high enough, also for some odd reason not all the ivs are there, i think i put them there, well here they are, with its lvl i calculated 30-31 hp/18-22 attack/27-31 def/20-26 sp attack/27-31 sp.def/22-26 speed its lvl 20 and after leveling it i lowered all the evs it gained. I know they can change as it lvl up an ill keep checking them, is really hard to breed one of those guys with the right ivs, nature and ability, it took me about 50-60 tries.

In order for Rhyperior to be a wall, it needs Impish, not Adamant.

252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Atk with Earthquake, Stone Edge, Megahorn, Swords Dance

A bit off topic here, but does Rhperior make a better wall than Torterra?

WAY better as a physical wall. Torterra only has 95 Hp and 105 Defense. And no Solid Rock.

Rhyperior has 115 HP and 130 Defense AND Solid Rock.

So i shouldn't use curse on Rhyperior and replace it for sword dance? If i really want to use curse instead of sword dance and go physical wall impish is still a better option than adamant? Also if i have a pokemon with a bug move on my team like a yanmega with bug buzz should i keep the megahorn or is it better to use poison jab as i don't have any poison moves on the team?
