I mean tbf he got that when lightning rod only redirected electric type attacks. It didn't make you immune or boosted your special attack. Him and marowak were probably better users of it than manectric.
@afriendlycampfire260 it sadly wouldn't work like that as it's a stat multiplier so it wouldn't boost bp( At least I think that's how it works all I know is it wouldn't boost body press)
Super happy I've stayed subbed all these years, commentary still legendary, nicknames still catch me off guard for a good laugh, and now lots of battles each video. Loving every minute of it.
I love your commentary and it's great whenever I see a long video being uploaded! Keep up the great work it's making a lot of people's lives a good deal happier and more manageable in tough times
Ah Rhydon, I loved this guy growing up. Him and Piloswine running double fades cause Ice Shard and Stone Edge. I actually use him in a similar manner (cause a tourney I took part in banned full evos) So I had a team of Charjabug, Rhydon, and Piloswine, and took 4th. That Tera Flying kit is no joke as I like putting Poison Jab (I should use Fire Punch, it does have more raw coverage), and the super-tank that is Charjabug stalling with Tera Flying/Steel.
What a sick UA-cam channel man. Consistency is on point, thumbnail artwork is top-tier. And the content is addicting! Wish you had more recognition, I can't get enough of these videos!
as gen 1 comp player (not that im particularly good) its awesome to see rhydon shine again. his huge bulk, normal resistance, and devastating earthquakes and rock slides are amazing in gen 1, especially when your opponents team is weakened/ paralyzed.
I used Rhydon alongside Mega Charizard Y back in XY, and it absolutely slaughtered. They covered each others weaknesses perfectly, and won me tournaments.
Cool video man, This Rhydon strat is running even in Pokémon Showdown Gen 9 Random Battles, I’ve got one with Tera water type and absolutely forget it have that ability until surprised LOL
I made a Rhydon with this exact idea in mind, it's so much fun to use. I EVed his Sp. Def and HP, and with his natural Defense and Eviolite he could smash holes in teams if I could set him up.
There are already a bunch of other Pokémon that get access to those combos. Every mon can’t get access to every move that combos well with one of their abilities and vice verse.
I swear I used this strategy about a year ago and from then on occasionally, but I used it with flying terablast and almost all the evs rn physical defense, it really was indestructible
I know a lot of status moves are basically the same thing. I wish that rock polish increased accuracy. Giving the lower accuracy of physical rock type moves.
I'm over here shifting my gears I got poison on my gears right now. I'm just shifting my speed I'm Technician as f**k man I'm a Toxtricity man like for real.
I'm not alone but just wanted to say I'm enjoying the lower tier Pokemon showcases per usual. I love Tera as a mechanic because it can make otherwise so-so mons a lot more viable, stoked to see who else gets the spotlight.
I'm using Rhydon in Godly Gift and with it having Regieleki's speed and holding the Eviolite this thing is insane. I've won 2 out of 3 battles with it.
What about a tera rock head smash aggron? Getting rid of his 4x weaknesses, and patching the sp def with a sandstorm boost. You could use rock polish to x2 his speed, and aggron had decent coverage aswell. Aggron is my favourite pokemon and i always wished he had more of a niece, but with tera the rock head head smash could hit pretty hard!
The only reason I never used Rhydon, was because I had Nidoking; whom as far as I was concerned, was Rhydon's rival. Nidoking could do everything Rhydon could, had less weaknesses, and was an effortless companion to keep around.
Say, Haydunn. Did you ever try and make Chimecho playable? I mean, if anyone can do it, then it's you. I've tried a set with cosmic power and yawn but it's not bulky enough to actually get anything done. I recommend perhaps electro tera for defense.
I cant explain it, but the line "this Ditto came unprepared, not knowing that it is Rhydon's birthday" before smashing the Ditto was peak
bro his commentary is fucking hilarious you know he used to be a troll back in the day
I screamed when he dropped that line. How tf does he come up with them
Lightning Rod on a pokemon that is both a ground type and doesn't use it special attack is funny ×2
Double battles exist remember
I mean tbf he got that when lightning rod only redirected electric type attacks. It didn't make you immune or boosted your special attack. Him and marowak were probably better users of it than manectric.
Remember that one time Pikachu aimed for the horn?
Rhydon could always learn many special moves, even though its special attack stat is bad. I guess Lightning Rod is supposed to help it a little bit...
@@RokuroCarisuwould be nice if they gave it solid rock but guess pokemon don't want to break it
Rydon these nutts☠️☠️ 7:28
😂😂😂😂
Lame as tack. Go delete your yt account and go teabag yourself
*deez nuts
I came for this comment 😂
@@lucasferraro1134 lol same
7:17 dude quitting out all salty at Rhydon not going down had me laughing so hard 😂
In my opinion, the protector, the item rhydon uses to evolve should be like the assault vest but for physical defense
I dont think we need a physical av at least for now
@@Fefomichea i want to use body press more
Zamazenta hero of many would be just like what it was before
@afriendlycampfire260 it sadly wouldn't work like that as it's a stat multiplier so it wouldn't boost bp( At least I think that's how it works all I know is it wouldn't boost body press)
@@cameroncookl7942 it would as things like iron defense does
@@Fefomicheawhy not? Sneasler’s everywhere just make a special version of intimidate to balance it out
the “should’ve aimed for the horn” joke was funny. I love your content.
gonna try this fun set and name him Rhydunn
Yourdunn
That photo is amazing though lol
Mixtape is an OG. One of the best nicknames of Haydunn’s channel
A true OG
That last game was intense good stuff
RHYDON DEEZ NUTS
I love how it sounds like Haydunn is playing live even though we know it’s just a voice over
Super happy I've stayed subbed all these years, commentary still legendary, nicknames still catch me off guard for a good laugh, and now lots of battles each video. Loving every minute of it.
Glad to hear it!! Thanks so much
I love your commentary and it's great whenever I see a long video being uploaded! Keep up the great work it's making a lot of people's lives a good deal happier and more manageable in tough times

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that
That was an incredible battle, the last one especially. I really like the tanking options of Rhyhorn with the Eviolite though, thanks for sharing !
Thanks haydunn for posting these salty disconnects mid battle never gets old 😂
as gen 1 comp player (not that im particularly good) its awesome to see rhydon shine again. his huge bulk, normal resistance, and devastating earthquakes and rock slides are amazing in gen 1, especially when your opponents team is weakened/ paralyzed.
I’ve had mine with Rock Blast instead of Stone Edge just in case for those pesky Subs and Mimikyu
Great video as always Haydunn. Crazy to see you are still sharing high quality battles for over a decade.
Rhydon is such a goated design
I always liked Rhydon and Nidoking. Nidoking needs some love though
It was arguably the first pokemon too
The only thing that really annoys me why dont give Rhydon Volt Absorb or Motor Drive u know something that might actually help him
Because that wouldn't really make sense
Better question, why don't they give Rhydon Head Smash so it can better take advantage of either Rock Head or Reckless?
@9:54 the grumpig video is actually brilliant and you should watch it after this video 😂
I used Rhydon alongside Mega Charizard Y back in XY, and it absolutely slaughtered. They covered each others weaknesses perfectly, and won me tournaments.
"Rhydon deez nuts" killed me 💀
After that first opponent ragequit, “Rhydon deez nuts” was an appropriate mic drop 😂
OMG i was thinking about a Rydon build with an eviolite a week ago! and you made it real!!!!! I LOVE IT!
Glad to be a member again, broski! 🤙🏻
Imagine a large rhino being lifted up by Balloons, sounds wild
Good to see a Haydunn video!! Haven't seen one in quite a while
That "kinda" at the end of the intro 😂😂
valid though lol. Gen 1 Rhydon was a beast
I couldn't get my nidoking in the game, but Rhydon and aggron are my other boys in the fight! LFG!!!!
My boy Rhydon finally getting love. First battle was iconic😂😂😂
The Rhydon’s birthday is insane 😂😂😂 “Eatin’ good” indeed, lolol! Happy birthday Rhydon 🎉
I honestly wish you'd build a comp around wall-umbreon. I love my lil goth pupper.
Eviolite Rhydon's my boy, so glad to see the lad get some love
Right on, Rhydon! I’ve been using one of these guys for 25 years!
omg i finally figured out how to become a member! so keen to binge all of your members vids! love your content mate ! :)
“Dark pulsing in hell”
I love every other video he sets up there is a Pokemon hell
RHYDONDEEEEZZ MY fuckin FAVORITE
Cool video man, This Rhydon strat is running even in Pokémon Showdown Gen 9 Random Battles, I’ve got one with Tera water type and absolutely forget it have that ability until surprised LOL
A Toxapex video brought me to this channel and honestly, loving the content to the point of I'm.just binging it all ❤️ keep on rocking !!
Rhydon is one of my favorites. His 45 speed is super rough though.
I made a Rhydon with this exact idea in mind, it's so much fun to use. I EVed his Sp. Def and HP, and with his natural Defense and Eviolite he could smash holes in teams if I could set him up.
That last game was shot for shot. Probably one of your best matches to date
4:21 someone please tell the opponent that Dragonite is not an answer to a hard-hitting Rock-type 😢
Rhydon theees nuts 😆 🤣 😂
Rhydon has Reckless and Rock Head...No access to Head Smash, ok.
There are already a bunch of other Pokémon that get access to those combos. Every mon can’t get access to every move that combos well with one of their abilities and vice verse.
Love this channel! One of the constant great streams of content, even when life isn’t 😆
Man bringing in the Chris P. Bacon. Dude, I am laughing over here!
Great video! Man, watching Rhydon get that papercut from an Ivy Cudgel...
Seeing Rhydon tear through a team makes my genwunner heart very happy
Blastoise used Hydro Pump....
Rhydon "Okay dude stop using the pump its getting old" 😂😂
Would you do double battles? Where lightning rod can be useful with a water type, storm drain on that. You can do so much more with double battles
I guess lightning rod is good for moves in duos that are electric
Please do Volbeat! That would really make my day
“… I have infact been uno reversed” 😂😂😂 6:33
I love using underrated Pokemon. Right now I’m using butterfree on showdown. It’s been really fun
I love me some rhydon. And I love me seeing blaziken and infernape battles. Especially when the infernape team wins.
Your commentary this time is so peak 😂👌
these vids keep getting better
I swear I used this strategy about a year ago and from then on occasionally, but I used it with flying terablast and almost all the evs rn physical defense, it really was indestructible
I know a lot of status moves are basically the same thing. I wish that rock polish increased accuracy. Giving the lower accuracy of physical rock type moves.
I love the Rhydon strat. First game was funny and the last one was hype
Haydunn with his signature Rhydunn
love the OG pokemon Rhydon
my favorite, just severely limited by its typing
Just went on break, with a Fire upload right on cue yessiirrrrr 💪🏿💪🏿🙏🏾
I'm over here shifting my gears I got poison on my gears right now. I'm just shifting my speed I'm Technician as f**k man I'm a Toxtricity man like for real.
That last game was crazy lol. Grumpig almost let you down fr😂
I'm not alone but just wanted to say I'm enjoying the lower tier Pokemon showcases per usual. I love Tera as a mechanic because it can make otherwise so-so mons a lot more viable, stoked to see who else gets the spotlight.
My God, game 1 with the classic, thanks game for not letting him get away with the aftermath
Love Rhydon. Good old times and OG
Should’ve aimed for the horn is an amazing reference to the anime
0:04 True, right after Diglett.
I use a lightning rod, tera water, surfing special attacker Rydon with eviolite and it actually still hits pretty hard despite the low special attack.
The critical that Hendrix ate was a calculated sacrifice. Trust.
Like most of us here, Rhydon does not want to touch grass
Same
Haydunn have you ever considered running brick break on your infernape or another mon just to crush the LS/reflect walls
Thank you for doing mah boy justice!
That last battle was clutch af
Idk why I never realized it had lightning rod as a ground type lmao. That's actually hilarious
🎊Happy Birthday Drillionaire!!! 🎊🍰🎁

that last match was nuts
THAT OPENING PUNCHLINE 😂😂😂
I haven’t watched this fully yet but I’m curious to know the ev spread
Liking and subscribing because drillionaire might be my favorite nickname ever
Rhydon, Nidoking, Nidoqueen, Tyranitar are my favorite type of pokemon: Kaiju ! Shout out to Aggron and Baxcalibur
Rage quitting in pokemon is always hilarious, it just makes the loss more embarrassing
terra flying is a big brain play
Happy birthday Rhydon 🎉🎈🎈🎈
You should have named it RhyDunn 😂😂 damn it that would have been cleverly clutch 🤘
Say, Haydunn. Did you ever try and make Chimecho playable? I mean, if anyone can do it, then it's you.
I've tried a set with cosmic power and yawn but it's not bulky enough to actually get anything done. I recommend perhaps electro tera for defense.
I love Rhydon. In fact, when I first started the Indigo Disk, I found a shiny Rhyhorn just running about (and caught it). Just my luck. 😅
Ryhdon is such a weird little guy.
Must feel so bad for a fighting type to faint from a dark pulse
