Best Rhydon IVs by league
| League | Rank 1 IV | Lv | CP | 15/15/15 |

Rhydon cannot enter Little League because it has already evolved. Little League only takes Pokémon that have not evolved yet and can still evolve, so the 500 CP cap is not the only rule.

How good is Rhydon in the current meta?
PvPoke rates Rhydon #361 of 409 in Master League, with a score of 45.5 out of 100. The usual moveset is Mud Slap, Stone Edge and Earthquake.
| League | PvPoke rank | Score | Usual moves |
|---|---|---|---|
| Great | #1,091 of 1,154 | 49.3 | Mud Slap, Stone Edge, Earthquake |
| Ultra | #815 of 851 | 53 | Mud Slap, Stone Edge, Earthquake |
| Master | #361 of 409 | 45.5 | Mud Slap, Stone Edge, Earthquake |
These are two different questions. The IV ranks further up say which Rhydon to build; the meta rank says whether Rhydon is worth building at all. Ranks and movesets come from PvPoke, whose battle simulations produce them, and they move as the meta does.
How to find a good Rhydon
The search-string generator builds a string you can paste into the search bar in Pokémon GO. It matches the CP, HP and appraisal stars of the top spreads above — pre-evolutions included — so you can sweep a whole storage box in one go.
To check a Rhydon you already own, open the IV ranker and set its IVs. It ranks every stage of the evolution line at once and shows the meta rank beside the IV rank.
