Rhyperior (Japanese: ドサイドン Dosidon) is a dual-type Ground/Rock Pokémon.

It evolves from Rhydon when traded holding a Protector. It is the final form of Rhyhorn.

Biology

Physiology

Rhyperior has basically the same build as its predecessor, Rhydon, although it is taller, heavier, and has an additional horn. Rhyperior has a club-like tail and its hide is partially covered by orange, rocky plates. Rhyperior has blade-like protrusions on its elbows and has holes in the palms of its hands which works as a cannon or a gun. Rhyperior's body is a brownish-gray as opposed to just regular gray. It also appears to have two thick, rectangular rocks above its eyes, resembling heavy eyebrows.

Gender differences

The upper horn on a female Rhyperior is smaller than a male's.

Special abilities

Rhyperior can insert rocks and boulders into its arms through holes in its hands and then fire them like bullets. However, it will occasionally insert and fire Geodude by accident. They are monstrously powerful and are massively difficult to take down without a Water or Grass move.

Behavior

It puts rocks in holes in its palms and uses its muscles to shoot them, although Geodude may be shot at rare times.

Habitat

Rhyperior live far up in the mountains. Finding a wild one can be difficult.

Trivia

  • Rhyperior and Rhydon share the same species name as Nidoking and Nidoqueen. They are all known as the Drill Pokémon.
  • Rhyperior has the highest HP base stat among all Ground-type Pokémon.
    • It also has the highest Attack base stat among all non-legendary Ground-type Pokémon.
  • Rhyperior's evolution line are the only Pokémon with the Rock/Ground combination to have Ground as its primary type.

Origin

It appears to draw much of its inspiration from a rhinoceros, aspects of various dinosaurs (such as the Triceratops) and a tank. It may also have connections with an Ankylosaurus, hence the clubbed tail and many defensive plates.

Name origin

Rhyperior is a combination of rhinoceros and superior.
