Rhyhorn has {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a quadruped body|four short legs}} with two claws. Its head is triangle-shaped with a single, short horn. Rhyhorn has small triangular openings on the sides of its head, which can be presumed to be ears.
-====Gender differences====
+Rhyhorn is a stout Pokémon with a thick hide. Its bones are said to be 1000 times harder than human bones. Rhyhorn's tackles are powerful, said to be able to destroy buildings or send a trailer flying. Rhyhorn's brain is very small, making it not suited to helping people work. It has a one-track mind and can remember only one thing at a time. When it runs, it forgets why it started and continues until it falls asleep. It seems to sometimes remember the reason upon demolishing something. Rhyhorn runs in a straight line due to its short legs making it inept at turning. It does not care if obstacles get in the way, merely smashing through them. Sometimes it may feel pain the day after a collision. Rhyhorn lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|rough terrain}}.
-A female has a shorter horn.
-===Special abilities===
-Rhyhorn's most well known method of attack is to charge straight into things. A charging Rhyhorn can knock a trailer flying. Rhyhorn can also use various {{t|Rock}} and {{t|Ground}} attacks. They can learn [[special move|special attacks]], but these types of attacks are not very strong when used by Rhyhorn. Rhyhorn are one of the few Pokémon capable of learning {{m|Megahorn}}.
-===Behavior===
-According to earlier entries in the Pokédex, Rhyhorn is actually brainless.  This perception was, most likely, not meant to be taken literally.  This conclusion of brainlessness was most likely derived from Rhyhorn’s exceedingly unintelligent methods of battle.  Rhyhorn’s animal instinct is simply to charge at any enemy or barrier that threatens its well-being.  The species is also perceived to have a very short memory, and is seemingly often confused by circumstances it directly influenced.  It is popularly believed that they are only able to remember one thing at a time.  Despite their severe setbacks in intelligence, they have been recorded as being surprisingly perceptive once captured.
-===Habitat===
-[[File:Rough-terrain Habitat.png|thumb|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon}}]]
-Rhyhorn live in open plains and mountain ranges. They are often found in [[Kanto]] and the [[Battle Zone]] and occasionally in [[Sinnoh]].  They have also been imported to the [[Hoenn]] [[Hoenn Safari Zone|Safari Zone]].
-===Diet===

 *In the games, Rhyhorn has the exact same [[cry]] as {{p|Charizard}}.
 * Rhyhorn's evolution line are the only Pokémon with the {{2t|Rock|Ground}} combination to have Ground as its primary type.
