In a similar vein to Tangrowth, Gourgeist-Super is a bulky Grass-type that can sponge Rhyperior's hits quite well. Although Tangrowth can OHKO with Giga Drain, Gourgeist, can only 2HKO with Seed Bomb. What it CAN do is go either for a Will-O-Wisp or Leech Seed, effectively crippling Rhyperior (It also takes less damage from megahorn than Tangrowth due to ghost typing, so that's p. nice.)
