A devastatingly powerfully built powerhouse based on physical strength, Rhydon the Drill Pokémon accordingly centers its fighting style on its wicked, rotatable facial drill horn.  This massive Pokémon is over 100 kilograms and is well protected by its near indestructible armor-like hide, capable of passing unscathed through streams of magma, and astonishingly, supposedly even capable of absorbing a direct blow from a cannonball without being harmed.  This Pokémon is said to be able to survive in 3,600 degree molten lava because of its rugged and durable hide, but is consequentially extremely insensitive to pain.  Though forgetful, Rhydon is somewhat intelligent unlike {{p|Rhyhorn}}, its brain having developed well after it started walking upright on its two back legs.  Erecting in stature also freed its forelegs for better utilization in combat.  Rhydon is recorded as being able to topple buildings with a sweeping blow of its tail, or more famously by charging with the spinning drill horn on its face.  With its daunting drill horn, Rhydon is able to bore holes in solid rock, and even shatter diamonds.  Also, due to its typing, Rhydon is immune to any and all {{type|Electric}} attacks, its drill horn serving as a {{a|Lightningrod|lightning rod}}.  Alternately however, as demonstrated in ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'', if targeted directly, {{an|Blaine’s Rhydon}}’s drill horn was an extremely vulnerable weak spot for electrical attacks.  The reasoning for this is unknown.  Additionally to all of this, Rhydon is tremendously versatile and can be taught via technical machines {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Ice}} and {{type|Electric}} attacks including {{m|Incinerate}}, {{m|Blizzard}} and {{m|Thunder}}. This Pokémon’s range even extends to certain {{t|Fighting}}, {{t|Poison}}, {{t|Dragon}}, {{type|Ghost}} and surprisingly {{type|Water}} moves, the most surprising of these being {{m|Surf}} because of Rhydon's weakness to water and otherwise seeming lack of buoyancy.
