How to Use Rhyperior Effectively

Save Terastallization for the Right Opportunity

While Solid Rock may reduce the damage of incoming super-effective attacks, Rhyperior still doesn't want to get hit by Water and Grass-type attacks. Save your Terastallization for the opportune moment to get an uncontested knockout.

How to Build a Team with Rhyperior

Rhyperior appreciates teammates who can knock out its harder matchups so that it can safely switch in.

Sample Singles Team

Screens Lead Physical Attacker Physical Attacker
Alolan Ninetales ImageAlolan Ninetales Rhyperior ImageRhyperior Ogerpon (Hearthflame Mask) ImageOgerpon (Hearthflame Mask)

Alolan Ninetales is led to set up screens for its team to help them better tank attacks. It can also be used as a special attacker after it has used Aurora Veil.

Rhyperior can become a difficult threat to deal with if it's put in a strong spot where it can survive hits and get knockouts.

Hearthflame Ogerpon is one of the strongest Pokemon right now that also counters almost all of Rhyperior's weaknesses.

Sample Doubles Team

Support / Trick Room Setter Offensive Tank
Dusclops ImageDusclops Rhyperior ImageRhyperior
Special Attacker Special Attacker
Torkoal ImageTorkoal Venusaur ImageVenusaur

Dusclops can set up Trick Room for Rhyperior, allowing it to sweep in Trick Room conditions. Torkoal also fulifills the same role as Trick Room sweeper, whose Sun can also reduce the effectiveness of Water-type Attacks on Rhyperior and itself.

Venusaur gives the team a fast mode, being a fast attacker, as well as a disrupive menace with Sleep Powder.

Counters for Rhyperior

Target Its 4x Weakness with Grass and Water Attackers
