Rhyperior first appeared as a {{pkmn2|wild}} Rhydon in ''[[PS116|Rock, Paper...Scizor]]''. He, along with an {{p|Alakazam}}, {{p|Arcanine}}, and {{p|Exeggutor}}, rampaged near [[Viridian City]] after being attracted by the sound of the [[Pokémon Music Channel|Pokémon March]] being played by a [[Pokémon Association]] van's radio. Blue used his {{TP|Blue|Scizor}} to defeat the rampaging Pokémon, which he then caught. The Pokémon Association were impressed so much that they decided to appoint him as the new [[Gym Leader]] of [[Viridian Gym]]. | Rhyperior first appeared as a {{pkmn2|wild}} Rhydon in ''[[PS116|Rock, Paper...Scizor]]''.

In ''[[PS161|Entranced by Entei]]'', during the Gym Leader exhibition match at the [[Indigo Plateau]], Blue faced his former mentor, [[Chuck]]. During this battle, Blue decided to only use Rhydon. Rhydon first went up against Chuck's {{p|Machamp}}, which let Rhydon hit first so that it could use {{m|Vital Throw}}, which always makes the user go last. Next, Chuck switched Machamp with his {{p|Hitmonlee}}, which used {{m|Mind Reader}} to dodge Rhydon's attacks. Rhydon managed to grab Hitmonlee's stretchy legs and attacked with {{m|Stomp}}, only to be countered with {{m|Reversal}}. Chuck then switched Hitmonlee for a {{p|Hitmontop}}, which greatly damaged Rhydon with his ability to attack multiple times while spinning. Eventually, Chuck had Hitmontop attack from the air by using his horn as a drill. Rhydon countered with his own {{m|Horn Drill}} and caused Hitmontop to slow down by reversing the rotation of his drill, leading to Hitmontop's defeat and Blue's victory. After the battle, Blue revealed he trained Rhydon to a high level with a book titled ''Secrets of the Earth'', which was written by {{adv|Giovanni|the previous Viridian Gym Leader}}, who had been a {{type|Ground}} specialist. | In ''[[PS161|Entranced by Entei]]'', during the Gym Leader exhibition match at the [[Indigo Plateau]], Blue faced his former mentor, [[Chuck]].

With the [[Protector]] he received from Silver, Rhydon [[evolved]] into a Rhyperior. Afterward, Blue then decided to give Rhyperior to Silver so that he may fill the missing slot in his party. Rhyperior was first used to battle [[Ariana]] on {{rt|38|Johto}}. With an {{DL|Plate|Earth Plate}}-boosted {{m|Earth Power}}, he distracted Ariana long enough for Silver to escape and head to [[Ecruteak City]] to meet with [[Morty]]. When Silver arrived at the Gym, he was stopped by [[Falkner]], [[Bugsy]], and Chuck, who were protecting the Gym from suspicious people under Morty's request. Having no time to explain the situation, Silver battled the three Gym Leaders in order to force his way into the Gym. Chuck used his Hitmontop to battle against Rhyperior, but the two Pokémon stopped when their drills collided, both realizing that they had fought each other in the past. After Silver explained who Rhyperior originally belonged to, Chuck decided to trust Silver and allowed him into the Gym. | ||
In ''[[PS459|All About Arceus VIII]]'', Silver used Rhyperior to battle {{adv|Giratina}} to protect {{adv|Giovanni|his father}}. Silver then revealed that he decoded Giovanni's book, which allowed him to teach Rhyperior {{m|Rock Wrecker}}. | In ''[[PS459|All About Arceus VIII]]'', Silver used Rhyperior to battle {{adv|Giratina}} to protect {{adv|Giovanni|his father}}.

In ''[[PAXY27|Pinsir Glares]]'', it was revealed that Blue took Rhyperior back from Silver in order to help him find {{adv|Zygarde}}. Rhyperior was first seen helping [[Diantha]] emerge from underground, where she was put in order to escape the blast of the [[ultimate weapon]]. He, along with {{TP|Blue|Charizard}}, later led X's group to [[Anistar City]], after which they left and returned to Blue. | In ''[[PAXY27|Pinsir Glares]]'', it was revealed that Blue took Rhyperior back from Silver in order to help him find {{adv|Zygarde}}.
