Trivia

• Rhydon can normally be taught Surf with HM03 in the games, unusual for a non-Water-type (and especially unusual for one with Rock and Ground types). The only other Pokémon that is a dual-typed Ground/Rock Pokémon that can learn Surf is its evolution, Rhyperior.
• When Wobbuffet pops out of its Poké Ball while Team Rocket is talking about capturing the Rhydon, Jessie says that it's too bad they can't just make a trade. This is most likely a reference to the fact that she received Wobbuffet from a trade.
