[OVERVIEW]
In the Overview, you want to generalize what the Pokemon in question accomplishes in the metagame and where it stands. You will also want to cover its drawbacks and anything else that may hold it back. This should be a pretty basic recap of the Pokemon; the Overview typically does not need to be much longer than seven or eight sentences, though of course this varies from Pokemon to Pokemon and compromises can be made.

Set Details

Ice Punch allows Rhyperior to threaten Pokemon like Flygon, Gligar, and Altaria that are immune to its Earthquake. Alternatively, Stone Edge can be used for having another powerful STAB attack and putting some pressure on foes like Flamigo and Decidueye. Temper Flare gives Rhyperior the ability to threaten Grass-types like Tsareena and Amoonguss while allowing it to hit Bronzong. Swords Dance allows Rhyperior to breakthrough walls like Scrafty and Vaporeon. Rhyperior can run a fully specially defensive EV spread allowing it to better handle foes such as Munkidori and Chandelure but it can opt to drop some Special Defense to invest in 88 Speed EVs allowing Rhyperior to outspeed Diancie. Tera Dragon grants Rhyperior the ability to better handle wallbreakers like Chandelure, Barraskewda, Decidueye, and Basculegion-M. Tera Water gives Rhyperior to handle foes like Alolan Ninetales and Swampert, but maintains its weakness to Grass-types and grants Rhyperior a Electric-type weakness. Tera Fairy allows Rhyperior to better handle common Pokemon such as Flygon, Scrafty, Incineroar, and Flamigo.
In the second paragraph, you should talk about potential teammates and what makes them useful. Cover Pokemon that can patch up the analyzed Pokemon's weakness and mention Pokemon that benefit from the analyzed Pokemon's presence.

Other Options
====
In the Other Options paragraph, you can note any other options that are useable yet not considered viable enough to be mentioned in the Set Comments. If there are none, feel free to keep this empty. Trying to fill this paragraph with bad options for the sake of it is detrimental to the user reading the analysis's experience.
Checks and Counters
====
**Insert Threat Here**: You should describe why the Pokemon is a threat. Please do keep in mind that it is often easier to insert whole typings and then specify the Pokemon of such type that are threats; this makes it much easier to keep track of this section for the audience.
