Rhyperior (Analysis)

[dingram]

I noticed a few issues in the Additional Comments.

-The damage calculations portion are done assuming Level 100s. The damage dealt is slightly different when both Pokemon are level 50 like in VGC.

-The Garchomp Earthquake Calculation is for a single target Earthquake, but those rarely happen in VGC. So it might be better to change the example. Something like Life Orb Mamoswine's multitarget Earthquake, which is similar in strength.

-Based on the calculations, Rhyperior does NOT avoid a 2HKO from Meteor Mash since the Babiri Berry would get used up from the first Meteor Mash, which is guaranteed to do more than 1/3 of Rhyperior's HP.

Thanks for noticing that. I'll fix it right now.

Rhyperior does, however, survive two of Metagross's Meteor Mashes with Babiri Berry and Solid Rock, taking 26.3%-31.4% from the first hit and 52.8%-62.8% from the second hit.

Also, Garchomp never uses Adamant, it almost always uses Jolly, and Jolly EQ does 23%-27.5% with Shuca, even without Solid Rock.
