Alright, so today I wanted to share my experience figuring out how to beat Rhyperior in Pokemon GO. I’ve been playing this game for a while now, and let me tell you, Rhyperior can be a tough one to crack if you don’t know what you’re doing.
Start to search the counters
First off, I started by doing a bit of research online. You know, the usual Google search, checking out some Pokemon GO forums, and all that. I found a bunch of guides talking about the “best” counters, mentioning things like DPS, TDO, and faints. Honestly, some of it was a bit over my head at first, but I started to get the gist of it.
Use the counters in game
So, after reading through a few articles, I saw a pattern. It seemed like water and grass types were the way to go against Rhyperior. The names that kept popping up were Primal Kyogre, Mega Swampert, Mega Sceptile, and Shadow Kyogre. I happened to have a pretty decent Mega Swampert, so I figured I’d give it a shot.
First try failed
I jumped into a raid, and my first attempt didn’t go so well. My team got wiped out pretty quickly. I realized I was just throwing random Pokemon at it without much thought. Okay, back to the drawing board.
Optimize the team and try again
This time, I decided to be more strategic. I powered up my Mega Swampert as much as I could, and I made sure my other Pokemon were also strong water or grass types. I even used some TMs to get the right moves. I felt a lot more confident going into the next raid.
Success
And guess what? It worked! We took down Rhyperior with time to spare. It felt great to finally beat it after struggling a bit. I also tried using a team with Primal Kyogre, and that worked like a charm too. I even managed to catch a Rhyperior after one of the raids, which was a nice bonus!
Summarize experiences
So, the main takeaway here is that if you’re going up against Rhyperior, focus on strong water and grass types. And don’t just look at the type; make sure they have the right moves too. It might take a bit of trial and error, but trust me, it’s totally doable. Good luck, and happy raiding!
