Rhyperior is listed as a Ground/Rock type in the current Pokémon Champions format, with usage data pulled from competitive teams, tournament results and Showdown-ready pastes tracked by MetaVGC. This page brings together its most common moveset, nature, ability, item, teammates and type weaknesses so you can judge where Rhyperior fits in a VGC team.
The most common build highlights Solid Rock, White Herb and Brave 32/32/0/0/2/0. Its frequent moves include Rock Slide, High Horsepower, Protect, and Ice Punch. Treat those choices as a data-backed starting point: they show what players are bringing, while EV spreads, Tera Type and the final move slot should still respond to your expected matchups.
Defensively, Rhyperior has important weaknesses to grass 4x, water 4x, fighting 2x, ground 2x, ice 2x, steel 2x. That matters during teambuilding because a strong composition needs ways to cover those attacks without giving up offensive pressure. Partners such as alakazam, incineroar, torkoal, venusaur-mega, and oranguru appear often because they can add positioning, type coverage, speed control or safer switches into common checks.
