Best Persian counters in Pokémon Go
With this in mind, something like Machamp or Lucario would be strong counters! Lucario's Power-Up Punch or Machamp's Cross Chop would be solid attacks against Persian.
One thing you will not want to use is a Ghost-type Pokémon. Persian has a resistance to these ghoulish creatures, with their attacks doing 39 per cent less damage to Persian. So don't use any of those!
Just like before, Machamp or Lucario are your best options.
Best Rhyperior counters in Pokémon Go
Giovanni's Rhyperior has very strong stats, but its Rock and Ground-type gives it a ton of weaknesses with six in total: Water, Fighting, Grass, Ground, Steel and Ice.
Kartana is also a strong choice as a Grass and Steel-type, but you'd need to be wary of Rhyperior using Superpower in its potential moveset since Kartana is weak to Fighting-type moves.
Again, your Machamp and Lucario from Persian will both work wonders here.
Best Nidoking counters in Pokémon Go
Kingler will again be an excellent shout here, as the same Bubble and Crabhammer that will demolish Rhyperior will do plenty of damage to Nidoking too, although not quite as much as Nidoking is only 2x weak to Water.
Really, any Water Pokémon will do - Vaporeon is another great shout simply because they're quite easy to obtain if you don't have a solid Water Pokémon already, while some Psychic-types like Espeon or Gardevoir could be a great shout too.

Now, if you've been paying attention then you already know what we're going to say here. Machamp and Lucario will do the job once more.
Consider using Garchomp with Mud Shot and Earth Power, or even better if you have one, Groudon with Mud Shot and Precipice Blades.
