    Ban Rhyperior From Ranked Play

    in PvP

    Posted

    Suicune is a good counter to Rhyperior.

     

    Watch spdef stat, its so ez to counter.

     

    CobraMK.

     

    252+ Atk Choice Band Rhyperior Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Suicune: 186-220 (46 - 54.4%)

     

    Suicune isn't obtainable for everyone as well. Isn't efficient to rely on such an exclusive pokemon to stop Rhyperior. Not to mention it can only come in on 2 hits.

    Ban Rhyperior From Ranked Play

    in PvP

    Posted

    Greetings folks,

     

    I hope you are having a lovely day. I am making this post in regards to a rather uncommon Pokemon called Rhyperior. This Pokemon is truly one of a kind with insane HP, Attack, and Defensive base stats. (115,140,130). At first glance of Rhyperior's typing (Rock and Ground), the Pokemon may seem underwhelming defensively. But when you run the damage calculations, you will soon realize how broken and uncompetitive Rhyperior can truly be.

    Now, if we look at Rhyperior's typing from the offensive side of the spectrum, it has the spammable move in Earthquake in tandem with another spammable move in Stone Edge. Pokemon that can switch into Rhyperior's ground attacks (Flying and Grass types) have absolutely no chance at switching in against a choice banded Stone Edge from an Adamant Rhyperior. For example,

     

    Pokemon that can take Earthquake switching in against Stone Edge calculations:

     

    252+ Atk Choice Band Rhyperior Stone Edge vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Skarmory: 162-192 (48.5 - 57.4%)

    252+ Atk Choice Band Rhyperior Stone Edge vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Gengar: 430-507 (166 - 195.7%)

    -1 252+ Atk Choice Band Rhyperior Stone Edge vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Gyarados: 458-540 (138.3 - 163.1%)

    252+ Atk Choice Band Rhyperior Stone Edge vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Multiscale Dragonite: 295-348 (91.3 - 107.7%)

    252+ Atk Choice Band Rhyperior Stone Edge vs. 248 HP / 0 Def Talonflame: 1504-1776 (418.9 - 494.7%)

    and much more...

     

    Pokemon that can take Stone Edge Switching in against Earthquake calculations:

     

    252+ Atk Choice Band Rhyperior Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Donphan: 180-213 (46.8 - 55.4%)

    252+ Atk Choice Band Rhyperior Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 144+ Def Hippowdon: 199-235 (47.3 - 55.9%)

    252+ Atk Choice Band Rhyperior Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 88+ Def Ferrothorn: 190-225 (53.9 - 63.9%)

    252+ Atk Choice Band Rhyperior Earthquake vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Omastar: 470-554 (167.2 - 197.1%)

    and much more...

     

    Taking Advantage Of The Meta

     

    This is just the beginning. Its potential is also boosted by the amount of people using Tyranitar or Hippowdon. Under a sandstorm, Rhyperior's special defense gets boosted by 1.5x which allows it to tank super effective special hits rather comfortably:

     

    0 SpA Blissey Ice Beam vs. 248 HP / 0 SpD Rhyperior in Sand: 112-132 (25.8 - 30.4%)

    252 SpA Life Orb Gengar Shadow Ball vs. 248 HP / 0 SpD Rhyperior in Sand: 185-218 (42.7 - 50.3%)

    0 SpA Alomomola Scald vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Rhyperior in Sand: 184-220 (42.3 - 50.6%)

    252+ SpA Choice Specs Hydreigon Dark Pulse vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Rhyperior in Sand: 226-267 (52 - 61.5%)

    and much more...

     

    Immense Physical Bulk

     

    Aside from that, Rhyperior's physical bulk is absolutely ridiculous. Talonflame is one of the most used Pokemon in competitive play. There are hardly any answers to this Pokemon but Rhyperior is there for you. It also has more than enough physical bulk to withstand STAB super effective attacks and retaliate back with its respective STAB choice banded attacks:

     

    0 Atk Gliscor Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Rhyperior: 168-198 (38.7 - 45.6%) (OHKOs Gliscor with Ice Punch after)

    252 Atk Life Orb Garchomp Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Rhyperior: 338-400 (77.8 - 92.1%) (OHKOs with Ice Punch)

    252+ Atk Machamp Dynamic Punch vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Rhyperior: 288-338 (66.3 - 77.8%) (OHKOs with Earthquake)

    252 Atk Life Orb Excadrill Iron Head vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Rhyperior: 281-330 (64.7 - 76%) (OHKOs with Earthquake)

    252 Atk Tyranitar Superpower vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Rhyperior: 214-252 (49.3 - 58%) (OHKOs with Earthquake)

    and so much more...

     

    Variety Of Coverage Moves

     

    Rhyperior also have access to a wide variety of coverage moves as well with the more important ones being Megahorn and Ice Punch. With access to these moves, Pokemon such as Slowbro, Tangrowth, Gliscor, Garchomp, etc. can never hope to beat Rhyperior. There truly is nobody that can reliably come in against a Rhyperior. Torterra and Chestnaught are 2 of the most effective Pokemon when it comes to beating the Ground + Rock combination but they both die to Ice Punch. With these coverage moves, Rhyperior puts quite a strain on team building.

     

    Solution

     

    I strongly believe PRO has the potential to have one of the purest and most rewarding competitive system. But when Pokemon such as Rhyperior are obtainable and useable, it just cannot achieve this. Rhyperior definitely needs to go or needs to be looked at if PRO's PvP aspect is to grow any further.

     

    Thank you for reading.

    Also cb dragonites are very unpredictable? You never see them in pvp also once a fable comes into a band iron head...you lost ur dragonite check xD

    Yes, i played Dragonite CB, can be very dangerous :3, but if you know in advance the Dragonite is Band, you fear the damages, not the Dragon dance, so you changes how you will react to the Dragonite. Dragonite wasn't the best example, some others:

    • Hydregion(Timid) Evs- 252SPD+252SPAttk | Item- Specs/Lifeorb | Moveset) Flashcannon, Flamethrower, Darkpulse and Dracometor/Dragonpulse.

    If you play Blissey, you don't fear the Superpower if you know your opponent build, so you can free switch on it and stay.

    • Slowbro(Bold) Evs- 252DEF+252HP | Ability- Regenerator | Item- Leftovers | Moveset) Scald, Slackoff, Calm Mind and Psyshock.

    If you play Cacturne Water Absorb, this build on Slowbro can literally do nothing to Cacturne, if one day someone play Cacturne on PVP :')

     

    Also it will be ever changing with the meta. I think its a great idea since i get 500 pms a day asking to build teams x3 :D

    Yes i know that felling, i have to play in mode "offline" sometimes when i want to farm :(

    I think the best way to help players is explain them how to build a team with the actual meta :3

    yes you can

     

    and can i play ranked ladder on my second account if i dont play ranked on my main in this month? i dont want to get banned only because i have done 1 pvp rated game on 1 account and then want to continue to only do ranked on my other one) sry if this is a bit confusing, my question basically is: if the season resets can i play ranked ladder on any account i like?

    (if i dont play on my other in ranked as well for that seasonofc) thank you in advance.

     

    the rule is that you can play ranked pvp in one account in a season, regardless it's main account or not.

    so you can choose one account you like to play ranked pvp in that season.

    you can play ranked on account(A) this season, then play ranked on account(B) next season.

     

    ps. a season isn't always a month, it's depended on when staff wants to end it.

     

    The season now ends every 1st of the month confirmed.
