    Is a Dugtrio a rock and mud or something? I cant remember, choos that pokemon if it's rock because it's cute:p and it looks like a sausage with a mouse face on it AND there's three of them!!!/or are they connected underground? Who cares!!!:p

    Dugtrio is ground type and it's too frail to do anything useful besides attempt to trap someone. If it were beefier, then I'd actually use him.

    Tyranitar and Rhyperior are the best ones to use, even if Close Combat (or Grass Knot for Rhyperior) pwns them both.

    That is true but if Rhyperior has the ability 'solid rock' it can withstand those kind of hits... ;D

    Nasty Plot Infernape, 104 base SpA, +2 SpA boost, Life Orb 1.3x, 120 BP on Rhyperior, 4x weakness (or 2.66x with Solid Rock) and with only a 55 base SpD, you're in for a rough ride.
    He would be better off against a Close Combat since it's 1.33x, 120 BP, STAB, but on the physical side where he is meant to take those.

    As for Tyranitar, a Close Combat means you're totally screwed.

    The choice between Infernape and Vaporeon for my MVP is a tough choice.

    (I'm looking at Smogon and Serebii's Rhyperior sections and Smogon says the damage is reduced by 1/4 and Serebii says Solid Rock reduces it by 1/3...hmm)

    EDIT: I now have 3 different Tyranitars and Rhyperiors to use. That's how good they are.

    Yup. And I can beat the end-game with a Pikachu.

    Dugtrio was good back in the RBY days, but that's only because there was nothing better. I'd sit in Diglett Cave until my starter was level 36, and I'd catch a Dugtrio while I was there. I'd even kill them with my Charmeleon because I'd just switch if they used Dig. lol

    But now, we have Rhyperior which easily replaces any ground/rock pokemon in the 1st gen.

    I used to think Fighting types were worthless when I played G/S/C, but now we have so many steel/rock types, it's really the only answer to kill those.
