Rhyperior has no raid or PvP ranking right now. Keep a high-IV one for the Pokedex and for future move updates or limited-format cups, and spend your Stardust elsewhere.
- Bulk-leaning spread (190 Defense / 251 Stamina) — it stays on the field longer, which suits shielded PvP formats.
- A second charged move costs 50,000 Dust and 50 Candy, and with 8 charged moves to pick from it is the single biggest PvP upgrade you can buy.
- Shadow Rhyperior deals 20% more damage and takes 20% more: better for raids, riskier in PvP.
- Its moves get a damage boost in Sunny and Partly Cloudy weather — worth timing raids around.

FAQ
What is the best moveset for Rhyperior in Pokemon GO?
Rhyperior's best moveset is Smack Down (fast) with Breaking Swipe (charged). Use a Fast TM or Charged TM to reroll onto it.
What are Rhyperior's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Rhyperior takes super effective damage from Grass, Water, Fighting, Ground, Ice, Steel-type moves. It is double weak to Grass, Water (2.56× damage), so those attackers cut through it fastest. It resists Electric, Poison, Fire, Flying, Normal, Rock, so avoid those types against it.
What is Rhyperior's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Rhyperior reaches 4,221 CP at level 50 with XL Candy, or 3,733 CP at level 40. Level 50 needs XL Candy, which only unlocks at Trainer Level 31 and comes from catching, hatching, transferring and walking.
What CP is a 100% IV Rhyperior?
A perfect 15/15/15 Rhyperior shows 2,133 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches) and 2,667 CP at level 25 (weather boosted). Seeing that exact number on the catch screen means it is a hundo — favourite it before you transfer anything.
Is Shadow Rhyperior better than regular Rhyperior?
Shadow Rhyperior deals 20% more damage and takes 20% more. For raids the trade is worth it; for PvP the lost bulk often is not. It arrives knowing Frustration, which should be replaced with a Charged TM during a Team GO Rocket event before you power it up.

Evolve it from Rhydon (100 Candy). It can be traded between trainers.
Can Rhyperior be shiny in Pokemon GO?
