Rhyperior is one of the strongest Rock types available in and Roggenrolla, by mistake. Or maybe on purpose? Any foe who manages to get within range will have to deal with its dangerous drill.
Having high Attack and Stamina, this dual Rock and Ground-type is a solid addition to any trainer’s team. Though it has many type weaknesses, it has just as many resistances. It’s Earthquake and Stone Edge moves hit hard and it can even learn Surf, a Water-type move, to catch others off guard. Like many fully evolved Pokémon in GO, Rhyperior does not spawn in the overworld. However, it’s 2 pre-evolutions, Rhyhorn and Rhydon, do. This guide will look at where these two Pokémon can be found, and how to evolve one into Rhyperior.
Obtaining Rhyperior in Pokémon GO
To look for Rhyperior pre-evolutions, explore areas where it’s type are commonly seen. For Rock types, check out parking lots and streets, and for Ground types, visit beaches, railways, and airports. These Pokémons’ habitat leans toward more urban environments, but those in rural places will still have a chance at finding them. Weather will also influence their appearance rate, as Ground types appear when the weather is sunny or clear, and Rock types when it’s partly cloudy. These weather conditions mean that a trainer’s Pokémon searching will be done in a comfortable, temperate climate.
After catching enough Rhyhorn or Rhydon, how many of their candies are necessary to obtain Rhyperior? The second evolution does not require many, only 25, so players will need to catch 7, obtaining 4 for each candy they provide: 3 for catching it and 1 for sending it away to Professor Willow. After that, they’ll need to collect 100 candy, which is equal to catching and releasing 25 Rhyhorn. Using Pinap berries to increase the candies they drop when caught and walking with one as a buddy will help expedite the process. The last step is to obtain a from Diamond and Pearl need to evolve. They’re hard to come by, but players can find them by completing research tasks and winning battles against other trainers. Once all the criteria are met, the powerful Rhyperior will be ready for action!
