Rhyhorn (Japanese: サイホーン Sihorn) is a dual-type Ground/Rock Pokémon.

It evolves into Rhydon starting at level 42, which evolves into Rhyperior when traded holding a Protector.

Biology

Physiology

Rhyhorn is a small rhinoceros-like creature with a body consisting of gray, rocky plates. It has a ridge on its back, and visible fangs protruding from its upper jaw. Rhyhorn has four short legs with two claws. Its head is triangle-shaped with a single, short horn. Rhyhorn has small triangular openings on the sides of its head, which can be presumed to be ears.

Gender differences

A female has a shorter horn.

Special abilities

Rhyhorn's most well known method of attack is to charge straight into things. A charging Rhyhorn can knock a trailer flying. Rhyhorn can also use various Rock and Ground attacks. They can learn special attacks, but these types of attacks are not very strong when used by Rhyhorn. Rhyhorn are one of the few Pokémon capable of learning Megahorn.

Behavior

According to earlier entries in the Pokédex, Rhyhorn is actually brainless. This perception was, most likely, not meant to be taken literally. This conclusion of brainlessness was most likely derived from Rhyhorn’s exceedingly unintelligent methods of battle. Rhyhorn’s animal instinct is simply to charge at any enemy or barrier that threatens its well-being. The species is also perceived to have a very short memory, and is seemingly often confused by circumstances it directly influenced. It is popularly believed that they are only able to remember one thing at a time. Despite their severe setbacks in intelligence, they have been recorded as being surprisingly perceptive once captured.

Habitat

Rhyhorn live in open plains and mountain ranges. They are often found in Kanto and the Battle Zone and occasionally in Sinnoh. They have also been imported to the Hoenn Safari Zone.

Major appearances

A Rhyhorn appeared in Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden under the ownership of a Hiker. Ash's Bulbasaur defeated it in battle.

The first Pokémon that Ash and his friends saw at Pinkan Island in In the Pink was a Rhyhorn, which was pink in color. Although initially unaware of the trio, Ash rushed up to it and antagonized it. It then cornered the gang at a cliff-edge, and attempted to charge at them, who were saved by Togepi using Teleport via Metronome, causing Rhyhorn to charge over the cliff. It was then rescued by Ash and friends with the help of the resident Officer Jenny.

Red Its massive bones are 1000 times harder than human bones. It can easily knock a trailer flying.
Blue
Yellow A Pokémon with a one-track mind. Once it charges, it won't stop running until it falls asleep.
Stadium Its bones are 1,000 times harder than human bones. Using its durability and strength, it can destroy tall buildings.

  • Rhyhorn's evolution line are the only Pokémon with the Rock/Ground combination to have Ground as its primary type.

Origin

Name origin

Rhyhorn may be a combination of rhinoceros and horn. Rhy may also derive from the igneous rock called rhyolite, alluding to its Ground/Rock type combination.
