Good roar user, can half check majority of the meta and eats up physical hits. It’s not nearly as passive as sandaconda, and you can even use it alongside it sometimes. Tbh though i think even Stunfisk is better, its overall more consistent and it has better role compression as a stealth rocker. But Rhydon’s insane physical bulk with wish support from sylveon makes it tough to deal with, it gets even better with its insanely good coverage options. However both amoongus and bisharp kind of tear this core apart, and being weak to some of the most redundant mons in the tier really suck. So while I think rhydon has hella issues, it’s definitely not bottom 5, and definitely doesn’t deserve to be in the same category as seviper
I like Rhydon and think it's pretty distinct from Sanda for a few reasons 1. Rhydon is a flying resist and Sandaconda isn't. Sanda is 3hkod by Honch Brave Bird and becomes a shaky check if Honch is Moxie Boosted and it is chipped. Rhydon will always beat Honchkrow due to its typing. Checking Scyther is also pretty big for me, Sanda can do it but Scyther is basically as strong as Honch with an Adamant Nature and Scyther can double its attack (trailblaze is a bit dicey though I admit) 2. Rhydon has a more varied movepool. It might not be sweeping since it's playing a defensive role but moves like Roar and Counter offer a lot of utility. the comment above also says Stunfisk is better than Rhydon but I disagree.
Great video as always!
I will say, I think Rhydon could be a candidate for this list cuz like, why use Rhydon when Conda exists
