Type/s: Rock/Ground HP: 413 Attack: 358 Defense: 358 Speed: 178 Special: 188
Earthquake Rock Slide Body Slam Substitute/Bubblebeam/Ice Beam
The alternative to Golem. It lacks Explosion but has more attack and defensive stats. Rhydon's main advantages over Golem are its ability to 2HKO Starmie and being able to survive 3 Earthquakes from Snorlax. Its disadvantages are no Explosion and losing out to Golem 1v1 due to its slower speed.
There isn't much else to say really. Rhydon is really slow, so he needs support to fully take advantage of that 358 attack stat + STAB EQs. The first three moves are Rhydon's best attacks, while the fourth move is really just a filler. Substitute works in conjunction with paralysis, and if you don't like predicting switches. The other two options, as weird as it is that Rhydon learns them, have their own little niches as well. Bubblebeam can save Rhydon's hide against Golem with the chance of lowering speed, and if it hits Exeggutor on the switch, Rhydon can go first against him as well. Ice Beam is to score a desperation freeze when you'd otherwise lose.
Other options: While very situational, Rest can work if Rhydon is up against physical sweepers not named Tauros and Snorlax without Surf.
