Rhydon

Rhydon excels as a Stealth Rock setter thanks to the combination of its solid Eviolite-complemented bulk and typing, as well as its great offensive presence, letting it pressure common forms of entry hazard prevention in Xatu, Dhelmise, Rotom, and Blastoise while serving as an effective stop to Pokemon like Incineroar and Braviary. Additionally, Rhydon's great Attack stat combined with Swords Dance and its passable Speed tier lets it function as a strong wallbreaker capable of dismantling walls like Vaporeon, Dhelmise, and Druddigon at +2. However, Rhydon's reliance on Eviolite for bulk makes it susceptible to Knock Off, and its resulting lack of recovery makes it easy to wear down. Additionally, Rhydon is vulnerable to the plethora of Water- and Grass-type Pokemon in the tier, as well as common coverage options such as Delphox's Grass Knot, Heliolisk's Surf, and Vivillon's Energy Ball, which harms its reliability as a standalone check to these Pokemon.
