Abilities
MetaMons competitive notes
Rhyhorn is a ground/rock-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Defense — at 345 BST it is a low total for competitive play, with slow (base 25) and a physical attacking profile. Its Lightning Rod ability matters more than the raw numbers when it hits the field: check what it does before deciding between a sweeper, pivot, or support role for Rhyhorn. Build around what Rhyhorn actually threatens, not its in-game lore — start from its weaknesses and strongest STAB moves, then decide whether its Speed, bulk, or coverage justifies a team slot.
