Rhyhorn help

I just restarted my Fire Red game. I was thinking about training a Rhyhorn, since I have an unused Earthquake TM in Leaf Green, and I wanted to use it (namely so Hypno isn't the lone Pokemon) to fight Koga and his trainers. I haven't really taken the time to train one, and I am wondering what the benefits are to training one, barring the obvious strengths against the Poison-type. I do know it takes (seemingly) forever to evolve, especially if you just want Rhydon for the Pokedex filler. So, any fans of Rhyhorn, or is there something better?

So Rhyhorn is worth the fuss? Good. I never used the Rock Slide move tutor in the Rock Tunnel. Thanks!

Don't forget though, Rock Slide is also an egg move for Rhyhorn. So you dont have to use the tutor. Same with Swords Dance.

For some reason, I prefer golem to rhydon, but rhydon will come in handy for evolution in D/P, so use rhydon with aragonbird's moveset, or use golem with this one:
Golem & leftovers
adamant nature
rock slide
earthquake
substitute
focus punch

rock slide and EQ are in case someone taunts you.

P.S.= rock slide and earthquake are egg moves, so DON'T WASTE YOUR TMs AND MOVE TUTORS!
 
Rhydon learns Earthquake around his lv 50-60s or something, dont use that TM!
