Rhyperior's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Rhyperior PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

Rhyperior is a solid addition to the Raids meta, displaying a great performance in both the Ground and Rock typing. As a Ground type, Rhyperior is marginally behind Shadow Swampert in DPS and in the Rock typing, it's a little behind Glimmora. Given a choice between the two, Rhyperior is stronger as a Rock type thanks to the powerful Charged Attack Rock Wrecker in its movepool. However, it heavily resists both Electric and Poison, and is quite effective against these Raid Bosses. So if you don't have an Elite Charged TM to use, the Ground-type role is completely fine. Even with great stats and moveset, Rhyperior’s two glaring weaknesses to Grass and Water, as well as other common weaknesses make it a quick work for Gym attackers.

Rhyperior PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

🔵 Great League

The addition of Drill Run to Rhyperior's moveset has pushed it to new heights, giving it a new era of dominance that it once enjoyed with the older version of Breaking Swipe.

Rhyperior is a legit threat in the Great League, using the widespread coverage from Ground and Rock to take down several threats, including Sableye, Guzzlord, Shadow Empoleon, Wigglytuff, and Lickilicky. Of course, it is held back because of its weaknesses, especially the double-weaknesses to Grass and Water, but even in those matchups, this behemoth leaves a mark.

🟡 Ultra League

Rhyperior also thrives in the Ultra League, continuing its streak of claiming impressive wins such as Regidrago, Galarian Moltres, and Lickilicky. However, most of its wins here are quite predictable, making it easy to strategize around it. As such, a wrong or unfavorable switch-in can spell doom for it, and the opponent would just farm energy for your next Pokémon.

🟣 Master League

Rhyperior's true display of power and the benefits of Drill Run appear in all its glory in the Master League, as this monster is tremendous in this format. With its aggressive gameplay, Rhyperior dominates the Master League, easily taking out Legendaries like Zacian Hero, Zacian Crowned Sword, Xerneas, Dusk Mane Necrozma, Ho-Oh, Eternatus, Lugia, and Mewtwo, while also beating others like Metagross and Togekiss. The coverage achieved via its powerful Ground and Rock attacks is exceptional for the Master League meta, and adding Rhyperior to your team is a great decision for GBL's Ranked battles.
