Rhyperior first appeared as a {{pkmn2|wild}} Rhydon in ''[[PS116|Rock, Paper...Scizor]]''. It, along with an {{p|Alakazam}}, {{p|Arcanine}}, and {{p|Exeggutor}}, rampaged near the [[Viridian City]] after being attracted by the sound of the [[Pokémon Music Channel|Pokémon March]] being played by a [[Pokémon Association]] van's radio. Blue used his {{TP|Blue|Scizor}} to defeat the rampaging Pokémon, which he then caught. The Pokémon Association were impressed so much that they decided to appoint him as the new [[Gym Leader]] of [[Viridian Gym]]. | Rhyperior first appeared as a {{pkmn2|wild}} Rhydon in ''[[PS116|Rock, Paper...Scizor]]''.

In ''[[PS161|Entranced by Entei]]'', during the Gym Leader exhibition match at the [[Indigo Plateau]], Blue faced his former mentor, [[Chuck]]. During this battle, Blue decided to only use Rhydon. Rhydon first went up against Chuck's {{p|Machamp}}, which let Rhydon hit first so that it could use {{m|Vital Throw}}, which always makes the user go last. Next, Chuck switched Machamp with his {{p|Hitmonlee}}, which used {{m|Mind Reader}} to dodge Rhydon's attacks. Rhydon managed to grab Hitmonlee's stretchy legs and attacked with {{m|Stomp}}, only to be countered with {{m|Reversal}}. Chuck then switched Hitmonlee for a {{p|Hitmontop}}, which greatly damaged Rhydon with its ability to attack multiple times while spinning. Eventually, Chuck had Hitmontop attack from the air by using its horn as a drill. Rhydon countered with its own {{m|Horn Drill}} and caused Hitmontop to slow down by reversing the rotation of its drill, leading to Hitmontop's defeat and Blue's victory. After the battle, Blue revealed he trained Rhydon to a high level with a book titled '' | In ''[[PS161|Entranced by Entei]]'', during the Gym Leader exhibition match at the [[Indigo Plateau]], Blue faced his former mentor, [[Chuck]].

In ''[[PS449|Raising the Stakes with Rhyperior]]'', it was revealed that Blue and {{adv|Silver}} [[trade]]d Pokémon. With the {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Protector}} he received from Silver, Rhydon evolved into a Rhyperior. Afterward, Blue then decided to give Rhyperior to Silver so that he may fill the missing slot in his party. Rhyperior was first used to battle [[Ariana]] on {{rt|38|Johto}}. With an {{DL|Plate|Earth Plate}}-boosted {{m|Earth Power}}, it distracted Ariana long enough for Silver to escape and head to [[Ecruteak City]] to meet with [[Morty]]. When Silver arrived at the Gym, he was stopped by [[Falkner]], [[Bugsy]], and Chuck, who were protecting the Gym from suspicious people under Morty's request. Having no time to explain the situation, Silver battled the three Gym Leaders in order to force his way into the Gym. Chuck used his Hitmontop to battle against Rhyperior, but the two Pokémon stopped when their drills collided, both realizing that they had fought each other in the past. After Silver explained who Rhyperior originally belonged to, Chuck decided to trust Silver and allowed him into the Gym. | In ''[[PS449|Raising the Stakes with Rhyperior]]'', it was revealed that Blue and {{adv|Silver}} [[trade]]d Pokémon.
