Why Rhydon is Bad and a Waste of Money in Skyblock

It must be well stated and known why Rhydon is trash

Area and Cost

Rhyhorn reaches an area of 9x9x9, which turns out to be 729 blocks.
Rhydon reaches an area of 13x13x13, which turns out to be 2197 blocks

Rhyhorn costs 250,000
Rhydon costs 1,500,000 six times as much as Rhyhorn
It would make sense that a single Rhydon should do six times the work

729 x 6 = 4,374

Six Rhyhorns is two times better than a Rhyhorn 4,374 / 2197 = 1.99 (we will just round this to 2)
So buying three Rhyhorns would be equivalent to one Rhydon
Three Rhyhorns costs 750,000

Therefore it's a waste of money to evolve one Rhyhorn to a Rhydon, when you can get the same work done by three Rhyhorns, for less the amount of money.

Reasons Why to Evolve

A proper argument must include the other side

If you don't want to use up all your Pokemon space for Rhyhorns, then evolving it is the choice for you, however you must consider this new choice on you.

Have more space? Or waste your money on saving space?

"Saving Space"

When it comes to "saving space" let's take an approximation on how many pokemon a normal player might have

You only need 1 venusaur, but you don't necessisarily even need one. (Bone meal farm)
Maybe 1-6 Charizards if you're a smelt maniac
No geodudes
1 Mewtwo
1 Gengar
1 Ditto
1-2 Scyther

Assuming that a person has the max of what I stated, that will be 12 pokemon out of your 20, excluding the Rhyhorns.

8 spaces left for your Rhyhorns.
8 x 250,000 = 2,000,000
8 x 1,750,000 (this is cost of buying rhyhorn and evolving it) = 14,000,000

You just saved 12 million dollars buying the better and more money efficient Rhyhorns

If Rhydon had extra features it'd be a great pokemon for skyblock, but it doesn't at all, so for now, and however long they intend to keep it this way, it's trash, a waste of money and sucks.

 

Do you not get more inventory space in the Rhydon? If yes then that's another reason why to evolve it., if no then maybe that could be something that could be added.

 

Ive suggested about adding more inventory space, but rhydon has the same amount as rhyhorn

 

I think rhydon is a good choice especially if you are a non-ranked player. It allows a bigger area to be mined and it still only counts as one pokemon. If you only are allowed 20 pokemon out then its a good choice.

 

Yea thats the choice people have to make, would they knowingly waste their money and save space, or would they rather be more money efficient

 

Rhydon is fine, it would be way to op if it was 6 times the blocks of Rhyhorn because in the long run, you'll make way more profit from Rhydon than Rhyhorn, so why don't buy Rhydon early to get profit quicker.

 

Main point is you wouldnt buy rhydon because its more money efficient to just have Rhyhorns. 3 Rhyhorns do about the same amount of blocks as rhydon, and costs less, thus its a waste of money. You SAVE MONEY I stated in the post why you wouldn't evolve it. Saving money = profit

 

I have about 15 rhyhorns on my island, and they work fine. brings in A LOT of profit.
