Rhydon

Rhydon is a usable Stealth Rock setter courtesy of its good bulk with Eviolite and great offensive presence, letting it heavily pressure common forms of entry hazard prevention like Xatu and Dhelmise. Rhydon's good bulk with Eviolite makes it a strong check towards Salazzle and Aerodactyl. In addition to this, Rhydon's great Attack combined with Swords Dance and decent enough Speed let it break through defensive Pokemon like Vaporeon, Snorlax, and Weezing. However, Rhydon falls short defensively because of its typing, poor special bulk, and reliance on Eviolite. Its 4x weaknesses to Water and Grass are incredibly problematic, as NU is filled with fantastic Water- and Grass-types alike. Furthermore, Rhydon's a poor Volt Switch deterrent because Rotom-C and Heliolisk both OHKO it with super effective coverage moves, and many other Pokemon Rhydon would like to check like Xatu, Salazzle, and Drapion exploit its type weaknesses or vulnerability to Knock Off. Stakataka and Mudsdale are almost always better options because of their superior defensive typings. Both of these Pokemon also can afford to lose their items to Knock Off.
