Yesterday I found a 100% Rhyhorn (lvl 28) but i'm not sure of power up it.
this is because I have a 2917cp 98 IV (MS/E) and a 2722cp 96IV (MS/SE) also the fact tha Groudon now is available and it is the best Ground attacker.
I will power up a the best Groudon taht I can catch but I'm not sure about this Rhyhorn.
What would you do with it?

First off, congratulations on that find! It's nice that it is close to lvl 30 already, so you won't have to spend nearly as much stardust/candy as you would have if it were a lower level!

If I were in your shoes, I'd save the 100% Rhyhorn for Rhyperior if/when Niantic ever releases Gen 4 Pokémon. Whether you decide to max it out now or later on, though, is up to you. But, I definitely would do it in a heartbeat!

Hold on to it but do not power up or evolve until Rhydon becomes meta-relevant again or Rhyperior is released.

It depends how often you see rhyhorn in your locale. In my area, rhyhorn are extremely common. If that is the case, I would not use any stardust on any rhydons at this time. Since you already have two excellent ones, I'd still hold off on evolving/powering up until Gen4.

You might find another excellent one. You can evolve that one. I recently evolved a Lvl35 98IV to 3058CP bypassing all my other Rhydons.

It's a 100%, are you seriously likely to catch a higher level 100%? And even if you do HEY, two 100%s!! At the end of the day you will eventually evolve/power it up. At the very least I'd evolve it and if it get's a good moveset you have another option and it would be cheap to get it to Lv30. If it doesn't get a good moveset I wouldn't spend TM's trying to FIX it because of the Gen 4 evolution, but it's never going to get better IV's.

I would just catch a level 35 Rhyhorn with a decent Iv and use that, save dust for Groudon.

I caught a 96% L31 too, and I'm still gonna save candies to evolve it.
If it gets a bad moveset after evolution, I'll just use it as a one-time use gym defender and keep it fainted till Gen 4.
