RHYDON: Tyranitar Killer?

So in preparation for Gen 2 (high iv eevee's, horsea's, V-day event), I also was trying to figure out some more creative ways to take out the big bad monster that takes down whole mountains (allegedly). Easily I could put my Vape on 'me, but I'm sure that will get old quick, so I remember looking at the typing chart on a quest for a big boy that could star in a 1962 King Kong vs. Godzilla flic -- this is what I came up with after month of plotting.

Need a lot of boosting, but even with Iron Tail and a 370 CP difference, I'm thinking Tyranitar is going to have a bad day when he meets the Don! ? Yours thoughts?

I use my Poliwrath w/ B/DP or Machamp C/CC or DP lol kind of feels like I'm really fighting a Kaiju. My personal favorite is my C/CC Hitmonchan. I have to hold back powering up one of my favorite Pokémon lol. I assume Don will destroy Tyranitar.

I got a CxDP Champ, but I haven't put him up against Ty' yet, I keep him on reserve for Blissey. Got a Machoke I should have ready next week, hope for the same set or the CxCC set, I don't have that one.

And I always strike out on Poliwrath, I don't even bother no more. Some things I just have no luck on, man. ?

lol I found a perfect Rhydon after a month of "plotting". I didn't have time to power it up though.

Nest! Can't stress it enough

Grinded for 2 weeks at a nest, he was like the last evolve too, no candies left, gotta hit a nest again. Haven't pushed him cause I was caught up filling my Gen 2 dex.

Rhydon will take super effective damage from Iron Tail... sure, Rock Smash will probably bring Tyranitar down, but it's far from optimal.

You said that like Megahorn wouldn't matter, lol. No doubt.

I'd just use Machamp for the job, he is able to kill Tyranitar nearly double his CP before T-rex can use a 1-bar charge move against him.

If you've got a Tyranitar or DT/O Dragonite I find those are the best against Blissey so you can save your 'Champs for Tyranitars.

I expect to battle the best trainers in PvP, cruising through Defenders right now shouldn't be such a breeze, but that's me.

That's a fair point, but I would counter with the fact that you want to become as proficient as possible using the top-tier mons with their best movesets, because when PvP drops even one mistake could cost you the battle.

I would want to get as comfortable with all the top movesets as possible for mons like D9, T-Rex, Champ, Blissey, Lax, Gyarados, Vape, etc. I am sure you can take down T-rex with your Rhydon, and it might be pretty fun with that moveset, but I would rather focus my energy on the top-tier mons as they will likely be the same ones featured on your PvP squad.
