Rhydon is a large, gray, bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with features similar to both dinosaurs and rhinoceroses. It has narrow, red eyes and two fangs in its upper jaw. On the tip of Rhydon's snout is a cream-colored horn, which is smaller on a female than a male. There are several other spikes and projections on its head: on top is a spike that curves forward, two triangular points resembling ears on the sides, a wide, wavy crest under each ear, and spiky ridges on each cheek. It has a cream-colored abdomen divided into strips by thin divots. A rocky plate on its chest slightly overlaps its abdomen. There is a row of spikes down its back and they have a long tail with thin, black stripes.

Rhydon is a physically powerful Pokémon. It is recorded as being able to topple buildings with a sweeping blow of its tail, and its horn is able to bore through solid rock and shatter diamonds. Its armor-like hide protects it from heat and physical blows. It is stated to be capable of passing unscathed through streams of magma and withstanding a direct blow from a cannonball without being harmed. However, because of this tough hide, it is insensitive. Despite its well-developed brain, it can be forgetful. Rhydon lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|rough terrain}}.
Rhydon is a physically powerful Pokémon. It is recorded as being able to topple buildings with a sweeping blow of its tail, and its horn can bore through solid rock and shatter diamonds. Rhydon sharpens their horns by clashing them together. Its armor-like hide protects it from heat and physical blows. It is stated to be capable of passing unscathed through streams of magma (3,600 degrees Fahrenheit) and withstanding a direct blow from a cannonball without being harmed. However, because of this tough hide, it is insensitive. Despite its well-developed brain, it can be forgetful. Rhydon lives in [[List of Pokémon by habitat#Rough-terrain Pokémon|rough terrain]] like in caves or on top of mountains. Due to its [[evolution]] allowing Rhydon to walk on two legs, it can expand its territory to more than a Rhyhorn's original habitat limit.

==In the manga==
===Ash & Pikachu===

===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===
Gary has a Rhydon, which was sent out with his other Pokémon to battle the giant Slowpoke in ''[[ET19|Ash vs. Gary]]''.
 
===Pokémon Adventures===
{{Main|Blue's Rhydon}}
[[File:Koga Rhydon Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Rhydon in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
Rhydon debuted in ''[[PS007|Raging Rhydon]]'' under the ownership of [[Koga]]. It was forced to evolve by its Trainer with a mysterious injection, being the first evolution shown in the {{pkmn|manga}} due to {{adv|Red}}'s [[Poli]]whirl and [[Blue's Charmander]] evolving off-panel at the time.
 
Later in ''[[PS016|Tauros the Tyrant]]'', a Team Rocket Grunt used a Rhydon in an attempt to catch {{adv|Green}}.
 
In ''[[PS018|A Tale of Ninetales]]'', a {{pkmn2|wild}} Rhydon attacked two of {{adv|Blue}}'s fan girls.
 
A Rhydon appeared in ''[[PS038|Long Live the Nidoqueen!?]]'', under the ownership of {{adv|Giovanni}}. He used its {{m|Fissure}} to trap Red.
 
In ''[[PS106|How Do You Do, Sudowoodo?]]'', {{adv|Gold}} encounters a wild Rhydon during his race with [[Whitney]]. It was hunting down a {{p|Sudowoodo}}, and kidnapped Whitney when she interfered with her {{p|Miltank}}, breaking her arm in the process. Gold tells Sudowoodo to stand up for itself and, with assistance from his billiard cue, helps Sudowoodo defeat the Rhydon with a strong punch to the gut.
 
In ''[[PS116|Rock, Paper...Scizor]]'', {{adv|Blue}} {{pkmn2|caught|catches}} a Rhydon outside the [[Viridian Gym]]. He uses him to defeat [[Chuck]] in ''[[PS162|Heckled by Hitmontop]]'', as well as [[Orm]] in ''[[PS279|Don't Doubt Deoxys]]''. Near the end of the FireRed and LeafGreen saga, Blue remarks on a footnote Giovanni included in his handbook: Rhydon possibly possessed a stronger form. This is a reference to Rhydon's new evolved form, {{p|Rhyperior}}, an evolution that succeeded in occurring thanks to {{adv|Silver}}'s knowledge of Pokémon trading, resulting in the same Rhydon, as Rhyperior, being on hand with him until being returned to Blue later on.
 
A Rhydon appeared in ''[[PS418|Deprogramming Porygon-Z]]'', under the ownership of an {{tc|Ace Trainer}}.
 
A Trainer's Rhydon appeared in ''[[PS421|Clobbering Claydol]]''.

A Rhydon appeared in ''[[PM056|The Ancient Pokémon Discovery!]]''.
 
===Pokémon Zensho===
Giovanni's Rhydon was {{Zensho|Satoshi}}'s opponent for his final Gym battle in [[PZ09]]. It went up against [[Satoshi's Charizard (Zensho)|his Charizard]] and was defeated.

[[File:Rocket Prize Master Rhydon.png|thumb|250px|Rhydon in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'']]

==In the manga==
===Ash & Pikachu===
Similar to her {{pkmn|animated series}} counterpart, [[Pietra]] recently {{pkmn2|caught}} a Rhydon. It appeared in ''[[SP10|The Grand Rhydon Plan]]''.
===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===
Gary has a Rhydon, which was sent out with his other Pokémon to battle the giant Slowpoke in ''[[ET19|Ash vs. Gary]]''.
===Pokémon Adventures===
{{Main|Blue's Rhydon}}
[[File:Koga Rhydon Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Rhydon in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
Rhydon debuted in ''[[PS007|Raging Rhydon]]'' under the ownership of [[Koga]]. It was forced to evolve by its Trainer with a mysterious injection, being the first evolution shown in the {{pkmn|manga}} due to {{adv|Red}}'s [[Poli]]whirl and [[Blue's Charmander]] evolving off-panel at the time.
Later in ''[[PS016|Tauros the Tyrant]]'', a Team Rocket Grunt used a Rhydon in an attempt to catch {{adv|Green}}.
In ''[[PS018|A Tale of Ninetales]]'', a {{pkmn2|wild}} Rhydon attacked two of {{adv|Blue}}'s fan girls.
A Rhydon appeared in ''[[PS038|Long Live the Nidoqueen!?]]'', under the ownership of {{adv|Giovanni}}. He used its {{m|Fissure}} to trap Red.
In ''[[PS106|How Do You Do, Sudowoodo?]]'', {{adv|Gold}} encounters a wild Rhydon during his race with [[Whitney]]. It was hunting down a {{p|Sudowoodo}}, and kidnapped Whitney when she interfered with her {{p|Miltank}}, breaking her arm in the process. Gold tells Sudowoodo to stand up for itself and, with assistance from his billiard cue, helps Sudowoodo defeat the Rhydon with a strong punch to the gut.
In ''[[PS116|Rock, Paper...Scizor]]'', {{adv|Blue}} {{pkmn2|caught|catches}} a Rhydon outside the [[Viridian Gym]]. He uses him to defeat [[Chuck]] in ''[[PS162|Heckled by Hitmontop]]'', as well as [[Orm]] in ''[[PS279|Don't Doubt Deoxys]]''. Near the end of the FireRed and LeafGreen saga, Blue remarks on a footnote Giovanni included in his handbook: Rhydon possibly possessed a stronger form. This is a reference to Rhydon's new evolved form, {{p|Rhyperior}}, an evolution that succeeded in occurring thanks to {{adv|Silver}}'s knowledge of Pokémon trading, resulting in the same Rhydon, as Rhyperior, being on hand with him until being returned to Blue later on.
A Rhydon appeared in ''[[PS418|Deprogramming Porygon-Z]]'', under the ownership of an {{tc|Ace Trainer}}.
A Trainer's Rhydon appeared in ''[[PS421|Clobbering Claydol]]''.

A Rhydon appeared in ''[[PM056|The Ancient Pokémon Discovery!]]''.
===Pokémon Zensho===
Giovanni's Rhydon was {{Zensho|Satoshi}}'s opponent for his final Gym battle in [[PZ09]]. It went up against [[Satoshi's Charizard (Zensho)|his Charizard]] and was defeated.

Rhydon (Japanese: サイドン Sidon) is a dual-type Ground/Rock Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

It evolves from Rhyhorn starting at level 42 and evolves into Rhyperior when traded while holding a Protector.

(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to Game data→Evolution data for these details.)

Biology

Rhydon using Surf

Rhydon is a large, gray, bipedal Pokémon with features similar to both dinosaurs and rhinoceroses. It has narrow, red eyes and two fangs in its upper jaw. On the tip of Rhydon's snout is a cream-colored horn, which is smaller on a female than on a male. There are several other spikes and projections on its head: on top is a spike that curves forward, two triangular points resembling ears on the sides, a wide, wavy crest under each ear, and spiky ridges on each cheek. It has a cream-colored abdomen divided into strips by thin divots. A rocky plate on its chest slightly overlaps its abdomen. There is a row of spikes down its back and they have a long tail with thin, black stripes.

Rhydon is a physically powerful Pokémon. It is recorded as being able to topple buildings with a sweeping blow of its tail, and its horn can bore through solid rock and shatter diamonds. Rhydon sharpens their horns by clashing them together. Its armor-like hide protects it from heat and physical blows. It is stated to be capable of passing unscathed through streams of magma (3,600 degrees Fahrenheit) and withstanding a direct blow from a cannonball without being harmed. However, because of this tough hide, it is insensitive. Despite its well-developed brain, it can be forgetful. Rhydon lives in rough terrain like in caves or on top of mountains. Due to its evolution allowing Rhydon to walk on two legs, it can expand its territory to more than a Rhyhorn's original habitat limit.

Main article: Blue's Rhydon
Rhydon in Pokémon Adventures

Rhydon debuted in Raging Rhydon under the ownership of Koga. It was forced to evolve by its Trainer with a mysterious injection, being the first evolution shown in the manga due to Red's Poliwhirl and Blue's Charmander evolving off-panel at the time.

Later in Tauros the Tyrant, a Team Rocket Grunt used a Rhydon in an attempt to catch Green.

In How Do You Do, Sudowoodo?, Gold encounters a wild Rhydon during his race with Whitney.

In Rock, Paper...Scizor, Blue catches a Rhydon outside the Viridian Gym. He uses him to defeat Chuck in Heckled by Hitmontop, as well as Orm in Don't Doubt Deoxys. Near the end of the FireRed and LeafGreen saga, Blue remarks on a footnote Giovanni included in his handbook: Rhydon possibly possessed a stronger form. This is a reference to Rhydon's new evolved form, Rhyperior, an evolution that succeeded in occurring thanks to Silver's knowledge of Pokémon trading, resulting in the same Rhydon, as Rhyperior, being on hand with him until being returned to Blue later on.

Trivia

Early sketches of Rhydon

Origin

Rhydon was created with a Kaiju motif.[1][2] Its design appears to draw inspiration from a rhinoceros and some aspects of various dinosaurs, such as ceratopsids. Its horn may be based on drills.

Name origin

Rhydon may be a combination of rhinoceros, rhyolite (a type of rock, referring to its Rock type), and don (Spanish for lord) or -don (common suffix in dinosaur names derived from the Ancient Greek word for tooth).

Sidon may be a combination of 犀 sai (rhinoceros) and don.
