Question

Solid Rock is its ability obviously. This was the second Rhyperior because te first had LightningRod (that guy is still in my PC, nobody wants a LightningRod Rhyperior. Plus, he is there for memories. That guy has Rock Wrecker.) Rhyperior can either be defensive or Offensive. I choose for mine offensive because that is what I am. My good Rhyperior, the one who I sometimes use, knows:

Stone Edge: High power, good chance for a critical hit, STAB, type coverage. Used to deal with Ice types.

Earthquake: From here on, I'm not going to list reasons for this move.

Megahorn: High power, used to deal with Grass types.

Avalanche: Deals with Ground types and Grass types, high accuracy and usually high power, otherwise decent power. Works well because Rhyperior is SLOOOOOW. Also deals with the ever popular Dragon type.

Answer 1

Earthquake- nothing in Rhypherior's evolution chain should be without earthquake.

fire punch/Ice punch- covers several weaknesses, or good power.

Stone Edge-STAB.

Stealth rock/Swords Dance. -makes him a powerful sweeper regardless of which move you use

Answer 3

Rhyperior (M) @ Choice Band

Trait: Solid Rock

EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def

Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)

• Rock Wrecker
• Outrage
• Megahorn
• Earthquake

I used the type coverage calculator, and saw that Rock Dragon Bug and Ground.
Gets 222 Normal Effectiveness, and 441 Super Effectiveness. 0 and 0 For Not Very and None.
140 Attack stat, maxed with Nature and Ev's, with a Choice band!
Rock Wrecker is pretty much a Guarenteed OHKO agaisn't just about anything that it hits Neutral, Outrage is for those pesty dragons ( Oh look at me! I have a Garchomp ! ) Megahorn offers high powered coverage, along with Earthquake for STAB and coverage.
This guy is basically used for killing anything he wants to ( That doesn't switch ) And regretting it the next turn, naturally, I love him. This is also the exact same set I use for 1v1 battles.

Answer 4

Earthquake, of course,

ice punch,

fire punch,

Stone edge.

Comments

I think one could replace ice punch with avalanche as Rhyperior WILL be hit first

Answer 5

earthquake

curse

avalanche/megahorn

stone edge/rock slide

Answer 6

Gen V Set for Rhydon

Rhydon (M) @ Eviolite

Trait: Rock Head

EVs: 32 Atk / 252 Def / 224 SDef

Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk)

• Rock Blast
• Earthquake
• Double-Edge
• Curse

Answer 7

Rhyperior

• Earthquake:STAB.
• Megahorn:Covers the common psychic type as well as his Grass weakness.
• Stone Edge:STAB; takes out staraptor on the switch in. He resists brave bird and double edge, and can take a close combat thanks to his massive defenses and his ability.
• Stealth rock/Curse:Set up some rocks, or bulk up a bit.

Answer 8

Stone edge-STAB,High Power,Okay Accuracy./Mega Horn-Fantastic Power,High Accuracy,Deals with grass types.

Earthquake-Must I say why?

Fire Punch-Okay power,High Power,Deals with Grass,Steel and Ice types.

Avalanche-Okay Power/Fantastic Power if Rhyperior goes second(which is almost always),High Power,Deals with Grass and Ground types(if you have both Fire Punch and Avalanche go with stone edge instead of Mega Horn since Mega Horn only deals with grass types and you don't need 3 moves to deal with one weakness).

Hope this help's!
