Rhydon @ Eviolite
Ability: Lightning Rod
EVs: 124 HP / 252 Atk / 132 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
- Rock Blast
- Swords Dance / Megahorn
Thanks to qualities such as an amazing Attack stat, an excellent Defense stat, a varied movepool, and a decent typing, Rhydon is an efficient and threatening wall in NU. Rhydon can use its excellent Defense to switch into Fire- and Flying-types such as Braviary and Incineroar and force them out with a powerful STAB Rock Blast or Earthquake. This is a good quality because they are common metagame threats and being able to pressure them is useful, especially if Rhydon's team includes Grass-types such as Decidueye and Whimsicott that are weak to the aforementioned types. Rhydon is also able to defeat common forms of entry hazard prevention such as Golbat and Xatu to ensure its Stealth Rock can continue to wear down foes; this means Rhydon can also force them out to set Stealth Rock if it hasn't already. Rhydon also threatens opposing entry hazard setters such as Diancie and Garbodor, which makes hazard control less difficult for Rhydon's team.
