[SET COMMENTS]

* Rhyperior uses its low Speed and sky-high Attack to be one of the most dangerous Trick Room attackers in VGC 2021. It also utilizes its excellent bulk combined with Solid Rock to take advantage of Weakness Policy. It is most often seen on Sun teams with a Trick Room setter, as it is able to remove common Venusaur checks such as Thundurus and Rotom-H.

* Rock Slide is a reliable STAB move to hit common Rock-weak Pokemon such as Zapdos, Galarian Moltres, and Incineroar. When Rhyperior is Dynamaxed, Max Rockfall sets sand, which improves Rhyperior's rather poor Special Defense.

* High Horsepower is Rhyperior's Ground-type STAB move of choice over Earthquake, as it doesn't hit teammates. It is able to hit Pokemon such as Metagross and Stakataka that resist its Rock Slide.

* Ice Punch is a crucial coverage move for Rhyperior, as it allows it to hit checks such as Garchomp and Landorus-T that would otherwise threaten it.
