Which one is better when attacking with Rhydon SE or EQ? I know the difference is small but either SE or EQ needs to be better, which one? Does gen 2 affect this order?
Earthquake is SE against other Rhydon, most notably. But Stone Edge is SE against a wider variety of currently relevant pokemon in the existing metagame: Dragonite, Lapras, Gyarados.
I would give the overall edge to Stone Edge for this reason. Wider type coverage, STAB damage, and almost the same overall DPS as EQ.
Nobody uses Rhydon vs Rhydon and i've never seen a Muk in a gym except mine.
Stoneedge is better than EQ since it's SE vs Dragonite, Lapras, Legendary birds (2x for moltres and articuno) while EQ is resisted by almost all of them.
Tyranitar is double weak to fight and I hope Heracross will be able to learn both quick and charged fight moves. Machamp may have new attacks as well. Otherwise Vaporeon will be the best choice, better than a MS/EQ Rhydon.
