Quick move

• Mud-Slap - Mud-Slap is a Ground-type move, so it's only weak against Bug, Grass, and Flying types. It has a high DPS and does a great deal of damage, making it the perfect pick for Rhyperion's quick move.

Main move

• Rock Wrecker - Rock Wrecker must be learned through an Elite TM, ,and is the best choice for Rhyperion's main move. Rock Wrecker is a Rock move, as its name implies, and does a little over double the damage of Mud-Slap.
