Rhyperior's solid defensive typing and good bulk make it a decent Stealth Rock setter, able to switch into threats such as Obstagoon, Noivern, Toxtricity, Mimikyu, and Tyranitar. Thanks to its bulk and ability in Solid Rock, it's one of the best checks to Calm Mind Jirachi and Dragon Dance Tyranitar. However, it's easily exploited by common Water-types such as Keldeo, Slowking, and Rotom-W, all three of which can use it for free momentum or, in Rotom-W's case, remove its Stealth Rock with Defog. Additionally, Rhyperior is susceptible to chip damage over time due to a lack of reliable recovery, making it more difficult to check Pokemon such as Incineroar and the aforementioned Obstagoon. Rhyperior also faces major competition from Krookodile, as it's easier to fit on teams and provides more utility overall, being able to annoy most entry hazard removers with Taunt or Smack Down. Rock Blast is an option over Stone Edge to better fare against Mimikyu and Substitute Kyurem while also having higher accuracy than Stone Edge; however, it's generally not worth it over Stone Edge's consistent power. Toxic punishes Slowking and Rotom-W by putting them on a timer. Alternatively, Megahorn hits the former while OHKOing Celebi and Starmie, but it's generally less useful than Toxic.

Teammates that can deal with Skarmory are vital to have, as it completely walls Rhyperior, can potentially use it to set up Spikes, and can also remove Stealth Rock via Defog. Electric-types such as Heliolisk, Toxtricity, and Rotom-W are good partners that can also check Water-types like Mantine and Slowking. Rotom-W can also remove Skarmory's Spikes thanks to Defog and check Krookodile for Rhyperior. Roserade, Celebi, and Rotom-C can check Water- and Grass-types such as Keldeo and Rotom-C— the former can also form an entry hazard-stacking core with Rhyperior. Roserade is also able to cripple Skarmory with Stun Spore or Sleep Powder, while Rotom-C is able to directly pressure Skarmory. In return, Rhyperior can check Fire-types such as Darmanitan and Incineroar that force them out. Jirachi can check Kyurem for Rhyperior and appreciates Stealth Rock support to wear down its checks. Mixed Jirachi can also break through Rhyperior's checks such as Slowking, Rotom-W, and Skarmory, while Rhyperior loves support from Wish Jirachi. Noivern can bring in Rhyperior against Tyranitar via U-turn and appreciates Rhyperior checking Mimikyu. In exchange, Noivern can check Keldeo and Starmie and threaten out Skarmory with Flamethrower. Galarian Weezing can provide Toxic Spikes support to wear down the Water-types that Rhyperior hates while also checking Mienshao and Krookodile for Rhyperior. Galarian Weezing also appreciates Rhyperior checking Noivern and Toxtricity.

Rhyperior's defensive typing and good bulk makes it a decent Stealth Rock setter, able to switch into threats such as Obstagoon, Noivern Mimikuyu, and Tyranitar. also worth mentioning how thanks to its bulk + Solid rock its a really solid check to CM rachi (no pun intended). Also comment on its ability to check Lycanroc-D too thanks to Solid Rock. I'd honestly be a little more positive on Rhyperior in this section, it doesn't fit on an amazing amount of teams but its really decent at checking the stuff it does check. However, it's easily exploited by common Water-types such as Keldeo, Slowking, and Rotom-W, all three of which can use it for free momentum or, in Rotom-W's case, to Defog away Stealth Rock. Additionally, Rhyperior is especially susceptible to chip damage over time due to a lack of reliable recovery, making it more difficult to check Pokemon such as Incineroar and the aforementioned Obstagoon. Rhyperior also faces major competition from Krookodile, as it's easier to fit on teams and provides more utility overall. Explicitly comment on some of this utility and explain directly why its easier to fit onto teams, and definitely mention how it can threaten common removers like Weezing/Washtom a lot better through Taunt or Smack Down. Rock Blast is an option over Stone Edge to better fare against Mimikyu while also having a higher accuracy than Stone Edge, however it's generally not worth it over Stone Edge's consistent power. Toxic punishes Slowking and Rotom-Wash by putting them on a timer. Alternatively, Megahorn hits the former while OHKOing Celebi and Starmie, however it's generally less useful than Toxic.

Teammates who can deal with Skarmory are vital to have, as it completely walls Rhyperior and can potentially Defog away Stealth Rock. The concern is more it just setting Spikes on you than Defogging honestly in a lot of matches, since Skarmory isn't often a fogger. Just mention how it can do both of these, since Defog sets are certainly an issue too. Electric-types such as Heliolisk, Toxtricity, and Rotom-W who can deal with Skarmory are good partners that can also check Water-types. mention Rotom-W being able to Defog away Skarm's spikes here, and checking crocodile too. Roserade can check Water- and Grass-types be specific with examples here and form a hazard stacking core with Rhyperior, while also being able to cripple Skarmory with Stun Spore or Sleep Powder. Likewise throw a mention to some other Grass-types like Mowtom and Celebi too, especially since Mowtom can pressure Skarm too. Jirachi can check Kyurem for Rhyperior and appreciates Stealth Rock support to wear down its checks. We can definitely say a bit more here. Talk about how mixed sets can break through checks to Rhyperior like Slowking, Rotom-W, and Skarmory, mention Wish sets to provide Rhyperior with longevity too. Noivern can bring in Rhyperior against Tyranitar via U-turn, threaten out Skarmory with Flamethrower, and appreciates Rhyperior checking Mimikyu. Mention also how Noivern is also capable of checking Keldeo and Starmie for Rhyperior. Galarian Weezing can provide Toxic Spikes support to wear down the Water-types that Rhyperior hates, while also checking Mienshao for Rhyperior. also checks the crocodile.

Rhyperior's solid/good/some kind of adjective here defensive typing and good bulk makes it a decent Stealth Rock setter, able to switch into threats such as Obstagoon, Noivern, Mimikuyu mimikyu*, but also i think you should mention toxtricity here since thats huge and all, and Tyranitar. Thanks to its bulk and ability in Solid Rock, it's one of the few decent checks to Calm Mind Jirachi and Lycanroc-Dusk no it hella is not you get blown the Fuck Up by +2 cc, i would just mention something like dd tar or something here and emphasise the rachi bit. However, it's easily exploited by common Water-types such as Keldeo, Slowking, and Rotom-W, all three of which can use it for free momentum or, in Rotom-W's case, to Defog away Stealth Rock. can Defog away its Stealth Rock.

Rhyperior also faces major competition from Krookodile, as it's easier to fit on teams and provides more utility overall, being able to annoy most entry hazard removers with Taunt or Smack Down. Despite these issues, Rhyperior is good at checking many prominent threats in the metagame for certain teams. this is sorta fluff and unneeded Rock Blast is an option over Stone Edge to better fare against Mimikyu and Substitute Kyurem while also having a higher accuracy than Stone Edge, however it's generally not worth it over Stone Edge's consistent power. Toxic punishes Slowking and Rotom-Wash by putting them on a timer. Alternatively, Megahorn hits the former while OHKOing Celebi and Starmie, however but it's generally less useful than Toxic.

Roserade is also being able to cripple Skarmory with Stun Spore or Sleep Powder, while Rotom-C is able to directly pressure Skarmory. what's rhyp do in return? maybe mention that it can check noiv and stuff for them Jirachi can check Kyurem for Rhyperior and appreciates Stealth Rock support to wear down its checks. Mixed Jirachi can also break through Rhyperior's checks such as Slowking, Rotom-W, and Skarmory, while Rhyperior loves support from Wish Jirachi. Noivern can bring in Rhyperior against Tyranitar via U-turn, threaten out Skarmory with Flamethrower bring this part down and put it after "Noivern can check Keldeo and Starmie", and appreciates Rhyperior checking Mimikyu. In exchange, Noivern can check Keldeo and Starmie. Galarian Weezing can provide Toxic Spikes support to wear down the Water-types that Rhyperior hates, while also checking Mienshao and Krookodile for Rhyperior. it also appreciates rhyp checking noiv which is important since weezer is a kinda poopy noiv check despite its typing, also checks tox for you which is !!! since tox just takes massive advantage of weezer
