Alright, guys, let’s talk about how I finally managed to take down that beast, Rhyperior, in Pokemon GO. It was a real pain, I gotta tell you!
My Struggle with Rhyperior
So, I kept getting wrecked by Rhyperior in raids. This thing is a tank, seriously! I tried all sorts of lineups, throwing my strongest Pokemon at it, but nothing seemed to work. I was starting to think I’d never beat it. I burned through so many revives and potions, it was ridiculous.

Finding the Weakness
Then, I did a bit of digging – you know, good old trial and error, plus some online research. Turns out, Rhyperior has a major weakness to Water and Grass-type moves. Like, double weakness! I facepalmed so hard. I had some decent Water and Grass types, but I hadn’t really been using them.
Building the Counter Team
Okay, time for a new strategy. I powered up my best Water and Grass Pokemon. Here’s what I ended up using:
- Kyogre: This was my MVP. Waterfall and Hydro Pump just melted Rhyperior.
- Swampert: Another great Water-type, with Mud Shot and Hydro Cannon.
- Venusaur: Vine Whip and Frenzy Plant did some serious damage.
- Torterra: Razor Leaf and Frenzy Plant, another solid Grass-type choice.
- Gyarados: Waterfall,Hydro Pump.
- Roserade:Good,but other grass type pokemon,more better than this.
I made sure they all had the right movesets. That’s super important!
The Triumphant Battle!
Finally, I went back into a Rhyperior raid, armed with my new team. And guess what? It worked! It was still a tough fight, but my Pokemon were dealing way more damage. I dodged some of Rhyperior’s charged attacks, which helped a lot. And in the end, I took it down! I was so pumped! It was a close one for some times, but I did it!
My Key Takeaways
Here’s what I learned from this whole experience:
- Type matchups are everything: Seriously, pay attention to those weaknesses!
- Movesets matter: Make sure your Pokemon have the best moves for the job.
- Don’t give up: Even if you fail at first, keep trying and adjusting your strategy.
- Power up your best counters: A few extra levels can make a big difference.
So yeah, that’s how I finally conquered Rhyperior. If you’re having trouble with this monster, definitely give these tips a try. Good luck, and happy raiding!
