Rhyperior (Japanese: ドサイドン Dosydon) is a dual-type Ground/Rock Pokémon that evolves from Rhydon.

Biology

Physiology

Rhyperior has basically the same build as its predecessor, Rhydon. 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. Rhyperior's body is a brownish-gray as opposed to just regular gray.

Gender differences

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

Special abilities

Rhyperior has the the same abilities as its previous evolutions, with the addition of being able to fire boulders from its hands. However, it will occasionally fire Geodude by accident.

Rhyperior is the only known Pokémon that learns Rock Wrecker.

Behavior

Habitat

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

Diet

In the anime

In the manga

In the FireRed and LeafGreen series of Pokémon Special, Green has a book on Ground-type Pokémon written by Giovanni. It mentions that Rhydon can evolve further through trading. Green asks Silver if he could help figure it out because Pokémon trading is his specialty. Before this can be accomplished, they are turned to stone by Sird's attack meant for Deoxys.

Trivia

Origin

It appears to draw much of its inspiration from a rhinoceros, aspects of various dinosaurs (such as the triceratops) and a tank.

Name origin

Dosydon's name is deceptively complex. The Do part that is at the beginning may be from the word 土 do, which is Japanese for ground/soil, or 怒 do, which means anger, or ど do, the Japanese prefix that makes a noun sound stronger; サイ sai, Japanese for rhinoceros; and don, a Greek word meaning tooth, commonly used in the names of dinosaurs.

Rhyperior comes from the "Rhy" of its pre-evolutions and "superior", because it is so much more powerful.
