Rhyhorn (サイホーン Sihon in Japanese, Rihorn in German and Rhinocorne in French) is a fictional species in the Pokémon franchise. It is a Ground/Rock Pokémon, and among the original 150. It evolves into Rhydon.

Rhyhorn is a portmanteau of rhinoceros (which it resembles) and horn.

Biology

Rhyhorn is a diurnal omnivore.

Rhyhorn is among the ten least intelligent pokémon, but it is also among the strongest. This makes for a dangerous combination, and despite its power, Rhyhorn are rarely used as laboring animals in the animé or the manga. In fact, if it charges an enemy, it often forgets why it charged by the time it strikes.

Although it can charge very fast due to its powerful legs, it cannot turn quickly; the range of motion of its legs are similar to a knee bending.

In the video games

Rhyhorn can be captured in eleven games. In Pokémon Red and Blue and Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, it can be found in the Safari Zone. In Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire and Pokémon Emerald, it can be found in the Mach bike area. In Pokémon Yellow, it can be found in the Unknown Dungeon. In Pokémon Gold and Silver and Pokémon Crystal, it can be found in Victory Road.

Rhyhorn can have one of two special abilities: Lightningrod or Rock Head. Lightningrod draws all electric attacks to it in 2-on-2 battles, and Rock Head prevents it from taking damage from moves that harm the user as well as the target (such as Take Down).

Rhyhorn's move list has been modified many times over the years. Rhyhorn's current list includes mostly Normal-type moves, plus a few Rock-type, Ground-type, and Bug-type moves. It is a straightforwards physical fighter.

Rhyhorn's Speed stat and its special stat(s) are in the bottom 10% of all pokémon. However, its Defense stat is in the top 20% of all pokémon, and no other stat is below the top third.

A Rhyhorn is used by the Team Rocket boss, Giovanni, in Pokémon Red and Blue and Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.

In the card game

In the American release of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, Rhyhorn appears in 9 sets: Jungle, Base set 2, Gym Heroes (twice times), Gym Challenge, Legendary, Skyridge, Ex Team Magma vs. Team Aqua (three times), EX Hidden Legends, and EX Emerald. Every card is of the Fighting type.

Almost all of the Rhyhorn cards are commons. The two exceptions are the level 25 Brock's Rhyhorn (a rare), and card 38 Team Magma's Rhyhorn in EX Team Magma VS Team Aqua (an uncommon).
