Ground/Rock vs Rock/Ground difference

OK, maybe a stupid question but I've been playing a year and just noticed. Is there a difference between a rock/ground type (e.g. Golem) and a ground/rock type (Rhydon)?

In terms of typing effects?

No, no difference.

IMO, I would want all my Golems to have rock/rock, and all my Rhydons to have ground/ground. Mainly because Rhydon doesn't have a rock quick move, and if we are talking about attacking (raids/gyms), then Ground is good against electric, and rock is good against flying. Both moves having some similar type effective/weakness, but also some different. Keeps it simple with same type movesets. Use my Golems for rock, Rhydons for ground.

He asked if there was a difference in typings?
answer: no, they are the same

But with a simple question, i elaborated a bit more, giving that both are rock/ground, only 1 has a rock quick move, so in terms of pokemon, as of right now, they are different.
Answer: yes they are different.

I could right another paragraph in terms of stats
Answer: yes, they are different

I could go on, but why help those that get offended by it. Word of advice, if you see a question, with a simple yes/no answer, and then you see a paragraph in the replies... don't read it. Take a deep breathe, count to 10, but surely don't reply to the paragraph, with a paragraph, that doesn't address the question... you sound hypocritical ?

OP is asking about the primary/secondary order of pokemon's types, not the types of its moves.

Golem is a rock/ground type pokemon.
Rhydon is a ground/rock type pokemon.

Functionally it has no effect on type advantages. They both get STAB for rock moves and ground moves and they both have the same combination of weaknesses and resistances.

You dont say?

Well since the simple question was answered in the first reply, there was no need for me to simply state the answer again... or should the rest of the replies to this question be "I confirm the first response," followed with, "I second that confirmation." Look, there's a response below, and this one that just says "I had the same question." Well, he didn't answer the OP, let's jump down his throat!

You can elaborate without wandering off to a different question. Of course Golem gets rock/rock movesets and Rhydon doesn't. But that was not the question.

Technically I continued the conversation. When you talk to someone, that is usually what happens. Didn't wander off, the main subject was Rhydon vs Golem. Example of how conversations go:
Q: "Did you see "movie title?"
A: "Yes, and it was the best movie I've seen this year," (didn't ask that), "only wish the ending was different." (didn't ask that)
