Rhyperior proved to be a very tough opponent, being able to withstand Grotle's attacks due to its [[Ability]] and giving the Grove Pokémon a very tough time. However the tables seemed to turn when Rhyperior forced Grotle to swallow an {{m|Energy Ball}}, giving it a major power boost. Using this Grotle was able to cause significant damage to Rhyperior, but Grotle was simply unable to stand up to the massive attack power of Rhyperior and was defeated.

In the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, it was revealed that at some point, Palmer had borrowed [[Pyramid King Brandon|Brandon]]'s {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}}. He used the three to awaken the legendary Pokémon {{p|Regigigas}} at the [[Snowpoint Temple]]. However, due to it being uncontrollable, in addition to there being no reason to have it, he would later release it, where it would eventually end up in the hands of Diamond.
