Rhydon
- Earthquake
- Rock Slide
- Body Slam
- Substitute
With the powerful Electric-type attacks thrown around in RBY OU, there will always be one threat to stop them: Rhydon! Rhydon is often used in the popular "MieDon" core with Starmie, where they compensate for each other's weaknesses. Once an entire team has been paralyzed, it's not uncommon to see Rhydon simply run an opposing team over. Rhydon has historically been seen as the main counter to the powerful Zapdos, whose STAB attacks are quite difficult to take on directly. Rhydon's most interesting trait is its use of Substitute, though. With this, Rhydon is capable of beating paralyzed Reflect Chansey with relative consistency, as Chansey's Seismic Toss can't break Rhydon's 103-HP Substitutes! In the past, Rhydon and Golem were often compared, but the latter's worse Attack and tendency to not stick around has led to Rhydon being seen as the superior pick. Give it a shot!
