In-Depth Analysis
Rhydon's 485 base stat total marks it as a slow bruiser that trades speed for raw hitting power. Attack (130) carries most matchups, but a low Speed stat of 40 means careful positioning matters.
Its Ground, Rock typing leaves Rhydon with 6 weaknesses against 5 resistances and 1 full immunity. Watch out for Water, Grass moves in particular — they land for 4× damage. On offense, its STAB moves threaten 8 types for super-effective damage.
A catch rate of 60 puts Rhydon in the moderate range — a few Great Balls usually get the job done. It levels on the Slow experience curve. Defeating it grants Attack +2 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
