Rhyhorn Arceus Ability & Stats

Ground/Rock
#120
Ability 1: Lightning Rod
Lightning Rod forces all single-target Electric-type moves – used by any other Pokémon on the field – to target this Pokémon, and with 100% accuracy. This includes the status move Thunder Wave. The ability is most useful in double/triple battles.
Ability 2: Rock Head
Protects the Pokémon from recoil damage.
Hidden Ability: Reckless
Reckless increases the power of recoil moves by 20%. By extension this means the amount of recoil damage taken will increase as more more damage is dealt (except for High Jump Kick and Jump Kick which have fixed recoil).

Rhyhorn Arceus Best Nature
Nature | Affected Status |
Adamant | Atk↑ Sp.Atk↓ |

Even at its final evolution, the base special attack of Ryhorn is low so it is better to not use that stat. It is also recommended to further increase the Attack and Defense of Ryhorn. “Adamant” and “Impish” natures are recommended for this Pokemon.
