Biology
Physiology
Rhyhorn's body consists of gray, rocky plates. Rhyhorn has four short legs and and triangle-shaped head with a single, short horn.
Gender differences
A female has a shorter horn.
Special abilities
Rhyhorn 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. Rhyhorn can also learn elemental attack, but these type of attacks aren't very strong when used by a Rhyhorn (save for the Elemental Fangs). Rhyhorn is one of the few Pokémon capable of learning Megahorn.
Behavior
One can say that Rhyhorn has rocks for brains because it can only remember one thing at a time. A perfect example of this is whenever a Rhyhorn starts charging, it'll forget why it did so in the first place.
Habitat
Rhyhorn live in open plains and mountain ranges.

| 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. | |
| II | Gold | It is inept at turning because of its four short legs. It can only charge and run in one direction. |
| Silver | It doesn't care if there is anything in its way. It just charges and destroys all obstacles. | |

| III | Ruby | Rhyhorn runs in a straight line, smashing everything in its path. It is not bothered even if it rushes headlong into a block of steel. This Pokémon may feel some pain from the collision the next day, however. |
| Sapphire | Rhyhorn's brain is very small. It is so dense, while on a run it forgets why it started running in the first place. It apparently remembers sometimes if it demolishes something. | |
