Strategy Overview
Rhyhorn is a freight train of a Pokemon with an impressive movepool, excellent physical stats, and suitable answers to many would-be checks and counters. Its biggest weakness is the poor Speed that allows many Pokemon to revenge kill or set up after scaring it out. Luckily, Rock Polish gives it a tool that allows it to sweep in a metagame filled with quick Pokemon. Its greatest advantages over other Ground- and Rock-types is its ability to deal severe damage to what would ordinarily check it based on typing alone, Gligar being a prime example. It also has access to several 100+ Base Power moves, making every attack a functional wrecking ball. Played properly it can run roughshod even over prepared opponents with its sheer power.
