Rhyhorn (Japanese: サイホーン Sihorn) is a dual-type Ground/Rock Pokémon.
It evolves into Rhydon starting at level 42, which evolves into Rhyperior when traded holding a Protector.
Biology
Physiology
Rhyhorn is a small rhinoceros-like creature with a body consisting of gray, rocky plates. It has a ridge on its back, and visible fangs protruding from its upper jaw. Rhyhorn has four short legs with two claws. Its head is triangle-shaped with a single, short horn. Rhyhorn has small triangular openings on the sides of its head, which can be presumed to be ears.
Gender differences
A female has a shorter horn.
Special abilities
Rhyhorn's 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. They can learn special attacks, but these types of attacks are not very strong when used by Rhyhorn. Rhyhorn are one of the few Pokémon capable of learning Megahorn.
Behavior
One could say that Rhyhorn have rocks for brains, because they can only remember one thing at a time. A perfect example of this is whenever Rhyhorn starts charging, they will forget why they did so in the first place.
Habitat
Rhyhorn live in open plains and mountain ranges. They are often found in Kanto & the Battle Zone and occasionally in Sinnoh. They have also been imported to the Hoenn Safari Zone.

It was then rescued by Ash and friends with the help of the resident Officer Jenny.
