SubSD Rhyperior o_o

Rhyperior @ Leftovers
Trait: Solid Rock
EVs: 132 HP / 252 Atk / 124 SDef
Adamant Nature
- Substitute
- Earthquake
- Swords Dance
- Stone Edge

A SubSD Rhyperior set may seem a little weird, but it works pretty well. Just send it in on something that Rhyperior can freely set up on, such as the occasional Dusclops, get up a Substitute and a Swords Dance. Then proceed to destroy.

132 HP EVs allow Rhyperior to reach 404 HP nicely. Thus, Rhyperior can set up 101 HP Substitutes without worrying its Substitutes to be broken by a single Seismic Toss. Max Attack EVs and Adamant nature give it as much firepower as possible and with a Swords Dance up, Rhyperior will pretty much OHKO-2HKO all but the sturdiest walls. The rest of the EVs are dumped into Special Defense to give it as much bulk as possible. Leftovers allow it to heal up its HP constantly, giving it better longevity.

EdgeQuake gives pretty good coverage and are standard moves on a Rhyperior.

I have used SubSD Rhyperior for some time now and I must say, it isn't expected, it isn't a flop.
