More defensive Rhyperiors will typically be impish, max hp and def. The sandstorms that are oh-so-common deal with the special defense.

Rhyperipr @Leftovers
Impish | 252 HP, 6 Atk, 252 Def
~Earthquake
~Rock Slide/Stone edge (I prefer pp and accuracy)
~Megahorn/Avalanche
~Substitute/Roar/Stealth rock

Double STAB.
Then, its a question of psychics or dragons. I would actually go with Avalanche, simply because it's going last anyway. Another option, which was more popular back in July was Avalanche > rock moves, simply because they were missing too often.
The fourth move seperates it from choice band, swords dance, etc variations. Sub helps to prevent ohkos by surf/grass knot. Stealth rock if you need a spiker, roar if you want a pseudo hazer.

Its either this or a completely inferior sleeptalk set.

For a physical sweeper version you'er gonna have to go wtih....

Rhyperior@life orb/Leftovers
Adamant
252 Attack 252 Speed 6 HP
Stone Edge/Rock slide
Megahorn/Fire Punch
EQ
Rock Polish

for him to be an effective physical sweeper...your gonna probably have to get in two rock polishes for him to beat 110 base speed pokemon...you do get walled by skarmory though..so if you are afraid of that then here's a sword dance set

Rhyperior@leftovers
Adamant
252 HP 252 Attack 6 Speed
Substitute
Sword Dance
stone Edge/Ice fang
EQ

Fire punch nor fire fang is mentioned here because fire punch supereffective does the same as stone edge regular damage...after one sword dance from rhyperior though he can 2HKO a skarmory....unfortunately that is still not sweeper status though
