Rhyhorn (Japanese: サイホーン Saihoon) is a Ground/Rock-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

Biology

Physiology

Rhyhorn is a rhino-like Pokémon that is rock hard. It has spikes on top of it to protect itself from its foes. It walks on four legs and has a horn that can be used as a drill. And it has two toes on each foot and two sharp teeth sticking out of its mouth.

Natural abilities

Rhyhorn can have the ability Rock Head or the ability Lightningrod. Rock Head prevents Rhyhorn from sustaining recoil damage. Lightningrod directs all Electric-type attacks to Rhyhorn. Its body is clad in a thick hide, and its tackles topple buildings. Unfortunately, it is not very clever, and can only run in straight lines. It is very difficult to catch in Safari Zone due to missing with Safari Balls.

Behavior

Rhyhorn can be very friendly and playful but if approached from behind they may get startled and run as they have a blindspot directly behind them, like horses do.

Evolution

Rhyhorn evolves into Rhydon at level 42.

Trivia

Unlike the other Rock/Ground-type Pokémon of Generation 1, Rhyhorn and Rhydon have Ground as their primary type and Rock as their secondary.
In Pokémon X/Y, you can ride a Rhyhorn in two areas: One is in Vainville Town, in the sandbox by your house, and the other is on Route 9, required to ride to Glittering Cave.
Rhyhorn's name probably comes from "rhinoceros" and "horn".
