In the anime
Rhydon's debut episode was EP042, under the ownership of one of the trainers at Kaz Gym.
Rhydon's first major role was in EP058, being one of Blaine's Pokémon. Blaine used a Rhydon against Ash during the first battle for Ash's Volcano Badge. While normally tough against electric attacks, Rhydon was defeated when Ash's Pikachu struck Rhydon's horn, which acted like a lightning rod.
Giovanni owns a Rhydon that he loaned to Jessie and James in EP063.
Giant Rhydon were seen on Fairchild Island in EP104.
EP204 featured a Rhydon that knew Surf.
Rhydon made a cameo appearance in AG135 as one of Noland's Pokémon.

Trivia
Origin
Name origin
Rhydon's name may be a reference to rhinoceros. The don may have been inteded to mean lord, however it's also used as a suffix in various dinosaur names, so it could be an reference to those prehistoric creatures as well. Its Japanese name is a combination of 犀 sai, rhinoceros, and the aforementioned don.
It appears to draw much of its inspiration from a rhinoceros and some aspects of various dinosaurs, such as the triceratops.
