dx_hbk, let me ask you this. Have you ever once placed 1st in the Master Contest in these? just doing single moves, without combos and getting maximum appeal will get you no where near close enough.
With a Rhydon, using Earthquake is always good, but it can not learn Fissure or eruption. The only two moves to combo with fissure, But in a stronger suggestion, instead of Rhydon, raise a Camerupt for tough contests. It naturally learns an excellent combo line of moves: Take Down, Earthquake, Fissure, and Eruption. Earthquake combo's with Fissure and Eruption, and Take Down is good if someone before you lowers your appeal standings. therefore, if you go first two in a row, Earthquake then Fissure or Eruption, and if your last in appeals, do Take Down. if someone before you does a move that subtracts your points, you'll get 12 appeal points over 6.
