Its Ability

Earth Fissure

Once during your turn, when you play Rhyperior from your hand to evolve 1 of your Pokémon, you may discard the top 3 cards from your opponent's deck.

Its attacks

Rock Wrecker

80

This attack's damage isn't affected by Weakness or Resistance. Rhyperior can't attack during your next turn.

What to make of it

Have a look at what it does well, then at what will get in your way. After that you'll know whether it belongs in your deck.

  1. A strength

    140 HP. Only 1 cards in Diamond & Pearl carry more.

  2. A strength

    Rock Wrecker hits for 80 on 3 Energy. Nothing in Diamond & Pearl hits harder for that price.

  3. A strength

    It has an Ability, Earth Fissure. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.

  4. Keep in mind

    Retreat cost 4. Once it is out front, it stays there. Pack something that moves it another way, or you will burn whole turns discarding Energy.

  5. Keep in mind

    None of the 3,331 tournament lists we have read runs it. That does not make it a bad card — it means we have not seen it on a table yet.

  6. Keep in mind

    It is a Stage 2. You have to come through Rhydon to get here, or find a Rare Candy to skip the middle step.

  7. Keep in mind

    Weakness Water +30. Against a Water Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,331 tournament lists we have read, 1,361 run at least one Pokémon of that type.

Who plays it

None of the tournament lists we have read mentions this card. That happens with a card that has just come out, or one players have not tried yet.

The other cards of this Pokémon

Two cards of the same Pokémon can be worth wildly different amounts — it depends on the set, the rarity and the artwork. We put all 15 Rhyperior cards on one page, priciest first.
