Rhyhorn, the Spikes Pokemon

Have you been looking for a powerhouse-style build? This may be the one for you! Note that this build can only be done in Generation V games.

Stone Edge
Drill Run
Ice Fang
Crunch

First, let's see how to get him:

1) Raise a female Rhyhorn to lv 45 so it learns Drill Run(if you evolve him at lv 42, he won't learn Drill Run until lv 47).
2) Teach that Rhyhorn Stone Edge with the TM(if you do not have the TM, you can level Rhyhorn up to lv 52 and he'll learn it naturally).
3) Have a male Smeargle learn Stone Edge, Drill Run, Ice Fang, and Crunch via Sketch.
4) Breed the male Smeargle and female Rhyhorn to make eggs with this moveset. A Careful or Sassy nature would be best in order to compensate for his low Sp. Defense stat.

This build is designed to inflict mass damage, and on a wide range of types. This build is super-effective against 13 types, much like the Electivire build I posted earlier. Rhyperior, the final evolution of Rhyhorn, is a Rock/Ground pokemon. It just so happens that Stone Edge and Drill Run are both powerful Rock and Ground attacks, that get the same-type-advantage-bonus(STAB) and also have a high-critical hit ratio. These will be his most powerful attacks. Crunch lowers the enemy's Defense, and Ice Fang helps to fight off more weaknesses. Rhyperior's impressive Attack stat only makes it better.

This build can do some massive damage to a wide-range of types. I am always open to suggestions on my builds, so don't be shy!

Brock out.
