I am curious as to why Infernape is underperforming in SV RU. It seems to have a good matchup into top dogs such as Bisharp, Cyclizar, and Rachi.

Infernape seems good on paper but mainly has issues into #1 used mon Gapdos, along with generally suffering into Noivern and Slowbro + Geezing. It also really wants to run everything at once but just can't. It is an ok-ish mon but generally it's just kinda outclassed. Special Sets don't do the best into various cores, especially Tera Poison Umbreon, and Physical sets, as mentioned don't do well into weezing or slowbro.
Hey I'm kinda new to teambuilding and I saw rhyperior is ru and had been wanting to use it for a while and was wondering what team dynamics it fits best and what members synergize with it most
yes
What are some common checks to Inteleon in this tier (Lansat berry specifically)
I think you posted in the wrong thread, this is RarelyUsed. But to answer your question, you have a lot of options. Blissey, Empoleon, Storm Drain Gastrodon, Goodra-H, spdef Muk-A probably, AV Cyclizar can switch in, Wo-Chien, Basculegion-F
