[SET COMMENTS]
Set Description
=============
Thanks to its high Attack stat and access to strong physical moves, Rhyperior is an excellent Choice Band user. Earthquake OHKOes foes like non-Air Balloon Metagross, Tapu Koko, Volcarona, and Haxorus. Rock Wrecker OHKOes Pokemon like Togekiss, Galarian Moltres, Azumarill, and Sitrus Berry Primarina while it also gives solid odds against most Celesteela sets. Rock Blast allows Rhyperior to defeat Crustle, Stall Zapdos and Entei, and Volcarona running Substitute. In the final moveslot, Ice Punch secures the Garchomp matchup, Fire Punch defeats Ferrothorn, and Counter helps against threats like Air Balloon Metagross and bulky Landorus-T sets.
EVs
=============
The Defense EVs allow Rhyperior to survive an Earthquake from Choice Band Landorus-T, allowing it to KO back with either Rock Wrecker or Counter. 164 Speed is enough for Rhyperior to outpace the likes of Steelix and Sitrus Berry Primarina. Rest of the EVs are put in Attack to get the best possible rolls against the likes of Celesteela.
Usage Tips
=============
When using Choice Band Rhyperior, you should opt to click the super-effective move or the most damaging move. Versus Stall Pokémon running Substitute like Entei and Zapdos, Rock Blast is preferred over Rock Wrecker to break through Substitute and avoid PP reduction.

[SET COMMENTS]
Set Description
=============
Explain what the set's moves, items, and abilities are for, whenever it isn't blatantly clear. For example, you generally don't need to explain something obvious like why Icicle Crash or Gorilla Tactics are used on Galarian Darmanitan as opposed to needing to explain something less obvious like its item choice or coverage moves like Flare Blitz, Giga Impact, etc.
EVs
=============
Explain the EV spread of the analysis with all relevant benchmarks made clear. Alternative viable EV spreads can also be explained here with what they do differently to the main spread and what you gain or lose from them.
Usage Tips
=============
Explain how to use the Set; any particular move combinations that players should know, any matchups that require particular plays, cases where something might be a 50/50, etc. This includes examples like explaining when Mega Charizard X should use Dragon Dance vs attacking immediately, beating Volcarona with Aromatisse, playing with or around Custap Berry Pokemon, etc.

Other Options
=============
List some options for the Pokemon user that are plausible but not always recommended due to being either not consistent enough or too outclassed by other Pokemon in the metagame. This section is entirely optional, so if a Pokemon doesn't really have any noteworthy alternative options, don't feel obliged to try and make something up.
