'''Rhyperior''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ドサイドン''' ''Dosidon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ground|Rock}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].
 
It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Rhydon}} when [[Trade Evolution|traded]] while holding a [[Protector]]. It is the final form of {{p|Rhyhorn}}.


It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Rhydon}} by [[trade]] with [[Protector]]. It is the final form of {{p|Rhyhorn}}.
(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data&rarr;Evolution data]] for these details.)


==Biology==
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Rhyperior is a large, brownish-gray {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with two horns: a larger one on its nose, and smaller one above it. The upper horn is even smaller on a female Rhyperior. The larger horn is divided into three sections by two thin slanted rings, making the horn resemble a drill. Its hide is partially covered by orange, rocky plates on its head, shoulders, arms, waist, and knees, similar to that of the protector used to evolve it from Rhydon. The hide of Rhyperior's armor has a mysterious substance. It has blade-like protrusions on its elbows and has holes in the palms of its hands which work as cannons or guns. It has three blunt, gray fingers on each hand, two gray toes on each foot, and a club-like tail. Its eyes have red irises with what appears be two thick, rectangular rocks above each one, resembling heavy eyebrows.
Rhyperior has basically the same build as its predecessor, Rhydon. Rhyperior has a club-like tail and its hide is partially covered by orange, rocky plates. Rhyperior has blade-like protrusions on its elbows and has holes in the palms of its hands. Rhyperior's body is a brownish-gray as opposed to just regular gray.
====Gender differences====
The upper horn on a female Rhyperior is smaller than a male's.


====Special abilities====
Rhyperior is even stronger than Rhydon, although its brain structure is smaller. It can insert rocks and boulders into its arms through the holes in its hands and fire them as projectiles. Occasionally, it will insert and fire {{p|Geodude}} or {{p|Roggenrola}} by accident. Rhyperior has a very hard carapace; it can survive volcanic eruptions, cannot be scratched even by a masterwork sword, and deflect most incoming attacks. This can throw the opponent off balance before it drills into the foe. Rhyperior lives far up in the mountains.
Rhyperior can insert rocks and boulders into its arms through holes in its hands and then fire them like bullets. However, it will occasionally insert and fire {{p|Geodude}} by accident.


Rhyperior is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Rock Wrecker}}.
Prior to [[Generation V]] and in [[Generation IX]], Rhyperior is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Rock Wrecker}}.

==In the anime==
==Game data==
Rhyperior makes a short cameo appearance in the opening sequence of ''[[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', under the command of {{ga|Brendan}}.
===NPC appearances===
 
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]]: Rhyperior is a member of the legendary Exploration Team, Team Raider, alongside {{p|Roserade}} and {{p|Gallade}}.
==In the manga==
* {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}: Team Raider's Rhyperior reappears with the rest of the team as recruitable allies for the player. Rhyperior will only become connected once the player gives Gallade's letter to Roserade.
In the FireRed and LeafGreen series of [[Pokémon Special]], {{special|Green}} has a book on Ground-type Pokémon written by [[Giovanni]]. It mentions that Rhydon can evolve further through [[trading]]. Green asks {{special|Silver}} if he could help figure it out because Pokémon trading is his specialty. Before this can be accomplished, they are turned to stone by [[Sird]]'s attack meant for Deoxys.
* [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]]: Rhyperior is used by {{OBP|Heath|Ranger}} to protect the yellow circuit ball. Ice later borrows it to use in a three-way boss battle with Ice's {{p|Gallade}} and Lavana's {{p|Magmortar}} in the trio's efforts to thwart the player.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Rhydon's speed does not improve when it evolves into Rhyperior.
* Rhyperior and its pre-evolved form share their {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Nidoking}} and {{p|Nidoqueen}}. They are all known as the Drill Pokémon. Additionally, all four are partly {{type|Ground}}s.
==Origin==
It appears to draw much of its inspiration from a {{wp|rhinoceros}}, aspects of various {{wp|dinosaur}}s (such as the {{wp|triceratops}}) and a {{wp|tank}}. It also may have been inspired by Anguirus, considering the nose horn and the spikes on their back.
===Name origin===
Dosydon's name is deceptively complex. The ''Do'' part that is at the beginning may be from the word 土 ''do'', which is Japanese for ''ground/soil'', or 怒 ''do'', which means ''anger'', or ど ''do'', the Japanese prefix that makes a noun sound stronger; サイ ''sai,'' Japanese for rhinoceros; and ''don,'' a Greek word meaning tooth, commonly used in the names of dinosaurs.


Rhyperior comes from the "Rhy" of its pre-evolutions and "superior", because it is much more powerful than its pre-evolutions.
===Origin===
Rhyperior's design appears to be an amalgam drawing inspiration from a {{wp|rhinoceros}}, {{wp|kaiju}} genre, aspects of various {{wp|dinosaur}}s (such as {{wp|ceratopsids}} or ''{{wp|Ankylosaurus}}'' in particular), {{wp|Ballistic vest|bullet-resistant body armor vests}}, and {{wp|cannon}} artillery. Its overall appearance also seems to allude to a proverbial {{wp|miner}} sporting a {{wp|Jackhammer|mining drill}}, {{wp|wrecking ball}}, {{wp|High-visibility clothing|safety vest}}, and {{wp|hard hat}}.
 
====Name origin====
Rhyperior may be a combination of ''{{wp|rhinoceros}}'', ''{{wp|rhyolite}}'' (a type of rock, referring to its [[Rock (type)|Rock]] type), ''{{wp|hyperion}}'', and ''superior''.
 
Dosidon may be a combination of 土 ''do'' (ground, soil), 怒 ''do'' (anger), or ど ''do-'' (prefix for very much), 犀 ''sai'' (rhinoceros), and ''-don'' (common suffix in dinosaur names derived from the Ancient Greek word for ''tooth'').

Rhyperior (Japanese: ドサイドン Dosidon) is a dual-type Ground/Rock Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.

It evolves from Rhydon when traded while holding a Protector. It is the final form of Rhyhorn.

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

Biology

Rhyperior is a large, brownish-gray Pokémon with two horns: a larger one on its nose, and smaller one above it. The upper horn is even smaller on a female Rhyperior. The larger horn is divided into three sections by two thin slanted rings, making the horn resemble a drill. Its hide is partially covered by orange, rocky plates on its head, shoulders, arms, waist, and knees, similar to that of the protector used to evolve it from Rhydon. The hide of Rhyperior's armor has a mysterious substance. It has blade-like protrusions on its elbows and has holes in the palms of its hands which work as cannons or guns. It has three blunt, gray fingers on each hand, two gray toes on each foot, and a club-like tail. Its eyes have red irises with what appears be two thick, rectangular rocks above each one, resembling heavy eyebrows.

Rhyperior is even stronger than Rhydon, although its brain structure is smaller. It can insert rocks and boulders into its arms through the holes in its hands and fire them as projectiles. Occasionally, it will insert and fire Geodude or Roggenrola by accident. Rhyperior has a very hard carapace; it can survive volcanic eruptions, cannot be scratched even by a masterwork sword, and deflect most incoming attacks. This can throw the opponent off balance before it drills into the foe. Rhyperior lives far up in the mountains.

Prior to Generation V and in Generation IX, Rhyperior is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Rock Wrecker.

Evolution

Rhyperior evolves from Rhydon and is the final form of Rhyhorn.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's Evolution in the games, refer to Game data→Evolution data.)

Trivia

Origin

Rhyperior's design appears to be an amalgam drawing inspiration from a rhinoceros, kaiju genre, aspects of various dinosaurs (such as ceratopsids or Ankylosaurus in particular), bullet-resistant body armor vests, and cannon artillery. Its overall appearance also seems to allude to a proverbial miner sporting a mining drill, wrecking ball, safety vest, and hard hat.

Name origin

Rhyperior may be a combination of rhinoceros, rhyolite (a type of rock, referring to its Rock type), hyperion, and superior.

Dosidon may be a combination of 土 do (ground, soil), 怒 do (anger), or ど do- (prefix for very much), 犀 sai (rhinoceros), and -don (common suffix in dinosaur names derived from the Ancient Greek word for tooth).
