for a rhyperior always put 252 in atk and 252 in either def or hp, even if you put EVs into sp def it will still die from a sp atk.( same with tyranitar )

no... not necessarily...

he could run something like 252/ half and half in defense/hp or something. Give it solid rock/whatever its ability is and as long as a sandstorm is in effect, it gets a 1.5 sp def boost or something like that.

anyways, any rhypherior without speed evs sound good to me =P

thats what i used to think too but even with the solid rock and sandstorm his sp def still isnt high enough to take a hit from something like a modest starmies surf, or ice beam.

well dump the points into atk/def/hp. or you might as well breed some good trick room pokemon and throw rhypherior in the mix with it.

ok thanks for the advice!

OK Modest Max Special Attack (328) Starmie (which doesn't exist in the competitive community for many reasons) does 95-112% Damage to a max HP 0 Sdef Solid Rock Rhyperior in a sandstorm.
Ice Beam does a measley 32-37% in a sandstorm and 47-56% without sandstorm (which gives a small chance of a 2hko with leftovers) and even 71-84% without solid rock.

If you invest in 72 SDef EVs 9and max HP of course) you can even guarantee to survive Modest Starmie's (328 SAtk) Surf in a sandstorm 100% of the time, so don't write off Rhyperiors special defense stat.
