'''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]].

==Biology==
==Biology==
Rhyperior is a large, brownish-gray Pokémon with two horns: one on its nose, and another one above it. The upper horn is smaller on a female Rhyperior. It has a club-like tail and its hide is partially covered by orange, rocky plates. It has blade-like protrusions on its elbows and has holes in the palms of its hands which works as a cannon or a gun. Rhyperior can insert rocks and boulders into its arms through the holes in its hands and then fire them like bullets. However, it will occasionally insert and fire {{p|Geodude}} by accident. It also appears to have two thick, rectangular rocks above its eyes, resembling heavy eyebrows. Rhyperior lives far up in the mountains.
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 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.
 
Prior to [[Generation V]] and in [[Generation IX]], Rhyperior is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Rock Wrecker}}.
 
===Evolution===
Rhyperior evolves from {{p|Rhydon}} and is the final form of {{p|Rhyhorn}}.

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.

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).
