[SET COMMENTS]
Rhyperior uses its enormous Attack stat together with its high Base Power STAB moves to be a threat in the metagame. Rock Wrecker breaks through typical targets that are weak to it, such as Arcanine and Scyther, alongside neutral Pokemon such as Sylveon and Primarina. Earthquake is used to hit Electric- and Steel-types like Zeraora, Dracozolt, and non-Air Balloon Aegislash. Fling is used in tandem with Swords Dance to beat stall Pokemon such as Galarian Corsola, Snorlax, and Chansey. The Speed EVs allow Rhyperior to outspeed Centiskorch, while the Attack EVs make sure Rock Wrecker is able to OHKO most Primarina. The Special Defense and HP EVs allow Rhyperior to tank a Choice Specs-boosted Hyper Beam from Modest Porygon-Z. Rhyperior has a few alternative EV spreads to choose from. 236 HP / 44 Atk / 96 Def / 132 SpD with an Impish nature guarantees survival against Choice Band Galarian Darmanitan while still taking a Hyper Beam from Choice Specs Modest Porygon-Z. The unneeded remaining EVs are invested into Attack for maximum damage output. An anti-Choice Specs Magnezone set can also be used, with 72 HP EVs and 244 Special Defense EVs alongside a Careful nature guaranteeing survival against Choice Specs-boosted Flash Cannon. If this spread is used, Bulldoze will be required over Fling in order to outspeed Magnezone on turn 2.

To beat stall Pokemon such as Galarian Corsola, Snorlax, and Chansey, use Fling to remove Choice Band, and then use Swords Dance to maximize Rhyperior's Attack stat. Fling should also be used against Crustle to break its Sturdy before finishing it off with Rock Wrecker. Fairy-types such as Aromatisse, Primarina, and Sylveon pair well with Rhyperior, since they can deal with Dragapult, Urshifu-R, and Slowbro. Rhyperior can deal with Steel-types like non-Air Balloon Aegislash, Magnezone, and Steelix that threaten the aforementioned Fairy-types. Dragapult is an excellent partner for Rhyperior, since it can cover its weakness to Water- and Grass-types such as Choice Band Dracovish, Rotom-W, Celebi, and Rillaboom. In return, Rhyperior deals with the aforementioned Fairy-types.

Rhyperior uses its enormous attack stat together with its high BP STAB moves to make it a threat in the metagame. Rock Wrecker breaks through Fire-, Flying-, and Bug-types such as Arcanine, Rotom-H, Mandibuzz, and Scyther. Earthquake can be used to hit Electric- and Steel-types such as Zeraora, Dracozolt, Magnezonethe primary set doesn't beat zone, you can find another example or just leave it at 3, and Aegislash. Fling is used in tandem with Swords Dance to beat stall Pokemon such as Galarian Corsola, Snorlax, and Chansey, by flinging off Choice Band and using Swords Dance to maximize Rhyperior's Attack stat. Fling can also be used to break Crustle's Sturdy and then finish it off with Rock Wrecker. The Speed EV's allow Rhyperior to outpace slow Primarina, while the Attack EV's makes sure Rock Wrecker is able to OHKO Primarina. The Special Defense and Health EV's allow Rhyperior to tank a Modest Choice Specs Hyper Beam from Porygon-Z. An alternative EV spread of 236 HP / 44 Atk / 96 Def / 132 SpD with an Impish Nature can be used to tank a Choice Banded Icicle Crash from Galarian Darmanitan. The Special Defense allows Rhyperior to tank Specs Modest Porygon-Z and the remaining EV's are dumped into Attack. Another EV Spread Rhyperior can use is 72 HP / 192 Atk / 244 SpD with a Careful Nature together with Bulldoze, allows Rhyperior to tank a Choice Specs Flash Cannon from Magnezone and 2HKO it back with Bulldoze.

Normally Rhyperior would lose to Primarina, but the EV's on this set allow Rhyperior to outspeed and OHKO Primarina with Rock Wrecker. When facing Snorlax, Galarian Corsola, and Chansey, Rhyperior should use Fling first and then use Swords Dance the following turns until Rhyperior gets +6, then OHKO with Rock Wrecker. You already mentioned these MUs in the prior paragraphFairy-type Pokemon such as Aromatisse, Primarina, and Sylveon pair well with Rhyperior since they can deal with Dragapult, Urshifu-R, and AzumarillYou already smash azu w/ a wrecker. Rhyperior can deal with Steel-types such as Aegislash, Magnezone, and Steelix that threaten Rhyperior's Fairy-type partner. Dragapult is an excellent partner for Rhyperior since it can cover its weakness of Water- and Grass-types such as Choice Band Dracovish, Rotom-W, Celebi, and Rillaboom. In return, Rhyperior can deal with Fairy-types like Sylveon, Primarina, and Aromatisse that threaten Dragapult. Since I ditched the first bit, you may want to beef this section up a bit, potentially mention where Solid Rock can prove useful as it may not be intuitive to new players

Rock Wrecker breaks through Fire-, Flying-, and Bug-types such as Arcanine, Rotom-H, Mandibuzz, and Scyther. (I think it would be more notable to mention neutral targets that Rock Wrecker beats, rather than the obvious stuff that's weak to it. Something like "Rock Wrecker breaks through typical targets that are weak to it such as Arcanine and Scyther, alongside neutral Pokemon such as...) Earthquake can be is used to hit Electric- and Steel-types like Zeraora, Dracozolt, and non-Air Balloon Aegislash. Fling is used in tandem with Swords Dance to beat stall Pokemon such as Galarian Corsola, Snorlax, and Chansey. by flinging off Choice Band and using Swords Dance to maximize Rhyperior's Attack stat. Fling can also be used to break Crustle's Sturdy and then finish it off with Rock Wrecker. (Belongs in the second paragraph as part of how to play matchups.) The Speed EVs allow Rhyperior to outpace slow Primarina, outspeed non-invested Primarina, (the investment hits 167 while non-invested Primarina is 156, so why the extra EVs? Are they relevant for other benchmarks or can we get rid of them to invest elsewhere?) while the Attack EVs make sure Rock Wrecker is able to OHKO Primarina. (What spread are you basing this off? Because if we're being fussy (and of course we are because this is an analysis) Primarina has good chances to live with max defensive investment. I don't think max defense Primarina is enough to re-evaluate the EVs, but it I want to know what spread you based the EVs on.) The Special Defense and Health EVs allow Rhyperior to tank a Modest Choice Specs Hyper Beam from Porygon-Z. Rhyperior has a few alternative EV spreads to choose from. An alternative EV spread of 236 HP / 44 Atk / 96 Def / 132 SpD with an Impish Nature can be used guarantees survival against to tank a Choice Banded Icicle Crash from Galarian Darmanitan, while still living Hyper Beam from Modest Choice Specs Porygon-Z. The rest is invested into Attack for maximum damage output. the Special Defense allows Rhyperior to tank Specs Modest Porygon-Z and the remaining EV's are dumped into Attack.

If this spread is used, Bulldoze will be required over Fling in order to outspeed on turn 2. 192 Atk EVs allow Rhyperior to... (make sure to talk about what these EVs do.)

(This is where you talk about Fling + SD against stall Pokemon, alongside using it against Crustle to break sturdy. Basically just elaborate here on what you said about them in the first paragraph.)
Fairy-type Pokemon namely such as Aromatisse, Primarina, and Sylveon pair well with Rhyperior since they can deal with Dragapult, Urshifu-R, and Slowbro. Rhyperior can deal with Steel-types like Aegislash, Magnezone, and Steelix that threaten the aforementioned Fairy-types.

In return, Rhyperior deals with the aforementioned Fairy-types. can deal with Fairy-types like Sylveon, Primarina, and Aromatisse that threaten Dragapult. Solid Rock is Rhyperior's only useful ability and generally softens blows from super-effective hits. (Don't actually need to say this. It's only necessary to discuss abilities when there are multiple viable options.)
