Rhydon's Megahorn vs Mewtwo

I live in a place where, if we're lucky, we may be able to get 12 to 15 people to battle Mewtwo and not everyone has a Tyrannitar. While going through my guys looking for 12 potential Mewtwo fighters, I realized that Rhydon has Megahorn. It's not ideal, but I think it may have potential.

I think it could be a good try. You're correct, people full of Tyranitar isn't that much.

Not that great since having a quick move isn't super effective against Mewtwo and Megahorn isn't a stab move for Rhydon. The cheapest counter to Mewtwo would be Umbreon with both Stab dark moves to do super effective damage to Mewtwo. Umbreon has good bulk to resist Mewtwo's quick attack but you'll have to probably dodge his charge Focus Blast.

Have you seen Umbreon's attack stat though? It's pitiful. It's a fine choice in sixth place to anchor your team in the battle, but it won't do much damage even with STAB SE.

i had the same idea and made a quick check at pokebattler yesterday evening.
unless i misred the battler, it looks like he is about level with pinsir fc/xs.
to players who, unlike me, kept their megahorn rhydons he should be recommendable.

from my reading of pokebattler concerning Rhydon (looking at power or overall lists, he does not make Time to win one), a Mud slap/Megahorn Rhydon is :
- similar to a mud slap/SE one
- outclassed by lick/HB Snorlax
- outclassed by wg/hp/AT vape
- outclassed by whatever bite Gyarados
- better than Lugia
- a lot (1.5 like) slower than Pinsir; 1/3 better resistance
- on par with Articuno (except icy wind one)
- similar both on damage and resistance to Umbreon
