[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.
