Once we figure out how Dosydon's new trait effects super effective damage, we ough to make a note with the correct variables. For now, all that's known is that "super effective damage is lessened" with it's "Hard Rock" trait. --[[User:ANinyMouse|ANinyMouse]] 01:29, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

== Hard Rock ==

I don't believe that Hard Rock lowers damage by half i think its only 33% --[[User:DSDark|DSDark]] 02:00, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

== Rhyperior in the anime ==

Obviously Rhyperior is a strong Pokémon, I guess it will have position in the anime. Perhaps being one of Ash/Brock/Paul's (probably Ash's) Pokémon.-[[User:Billy4b2004|Billy4b2004]] 02:48, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
:I doubt that Ash will get one. He rarely gets a fully evolved Pokémon unless it's one of the starters. And Brock never gets Pokémon. I say Paul is the most likely canidate. --[[Image:Ani048MS.gif]]'''[[Tracey Sketchit|<span style="color:#15E200;">ケンジ</span>]]'''[[Image:Ani183MS.gif]]'''[[User:Kenji-girl|<span style="color:#DC0062;">ガール</span>]]'''[[Image:Ani123MS.gif]] 09:21, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
::I ''hope'' Brock gets one.

I think he would directly catch it as a Rhyperior like Noctowl.It would help him so much in the Sinnoh League battles like Snorlax, Sceptile and Charizard.And it will be Ash's first rock-type.It is better to train different types Pokémon in order to become a Pokémon master!-[[User:Billy4b2004|Billy4b2004]] 02:48, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
:::It'd be caught as a Rhydon, at the very least, likely near the northern entrance to Mt. Coronet. <span style="background:#FF9030">'''[[User:TTEchidna|<span style="color:#FF0000">''TTE''</span>]][[User talk:TTEchidna|<span style="color:#000000">chidna</span>]]</span>{{ani|155|Fire echy}}<span style="background:#664444">[[User:TTEchidna/GSDS|<sup><span style="color:#FFD700">G</span></sup><sub><span style="color:#E0E0E0">S</span></sub><span style="color:#000000">DS!</span>]]'''</span> 10:37, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

::::I don't think a Rhyperior is in Ash's future.  For starters, the only time Ash ever caught a Pokémon that can reach a third stage as a third stage, it was on Ash's team for [[Casey's Beedrill|all of two minutes]].  Additionally, odds are pointing to {{p|Riolu}} as being Ash's sixth Pokémon and his main Fighting-type (yes, I do see {{TP|Ash|Chimchar}} evolving, but it will be continued to be used mainly as a Fire-type), which means we'd have to rob him of one of his traditional mainstay types, most likely {{TP|Ash|Turtwig}}, to get a Rhyhorn or Rhydon onto Ash's team.

::::And if Ash were to get rid of Turtwig, odds are he'd replace it with another Grass-type such as {{p|Cherubi}} (which I'd see going to [[Dawn (anime)|Dawn]] instead if she doesn't get a {{p|Chikorita}}), {{p|Tangela}}, or {{p|Snover}}.  {{p|Budew}}'s out of the picture since Nando has a {{TP|Nando|Roselia}}, {{p|Carnivine}} is out of the picture since James has [[James's Carnivine|one]], and I highly doubt Ash would catch a Grass-form {{p|Wormadam}} directly.  --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 21:29, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Can anyone imagine a huge drilling machine like Rhyperior with 5 small and cute Pokémon????

:Nope.  --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 21:29, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

It's time for Ash to win a league, the Sinnoh League.He'd no longer need some small and cute Pokémon.It'd be the best for him to have Floatzel, Staraptor, Infernape, Torterra, Pikachu and Rhyperior or some strong Pokémon that fit in his team.The thing that is mentioned by Lucian in [[DP035|An Elite Meet and Greet!]] cannot be proved if Ash cannot win the Sinnoh League.-[[User:Billy4b2004|Billy4b2004]] 14:30, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
:Yes, but Ash also talked with Drake and how to win. He still never fought the Hoenn Elite 4. The Elite 4 don't seem to be an actualy challenge in the anime, so much as just the people considered the 4 strongest. 
:Forget Rhyperior for Ash's sixth Pokémon if he faces the Sinnoh Elite 4. He should get a Riolu that eventually eveolves into a Lucario. He's already done things with Aura and with a Lucario, so he should get one in Sinnoh. [[User:Diachronos|Diachronos]] 16:40, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

== Not Worth Noting ==

"Similar to {{p|Magmortar}}, Rhyperior can shoot things from its arms."

That's pretty much a "who cares" detail. It's already mentioned in the "Special Abilities" sections. <span style="background:#000000;">[[User:SharKing|<span style="color:#5218FA;">'''Shar'''</span>]]</span><span style="background:#5218FA;"><span style="color:#FFFF00;">'''K'''</span></span><span style="background:#000000;">[[User Talk:SharKing|<span style="color:#FFFF00;">'''ing'''</span>]]</span>15:40, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

== Last Rock-type? ==

Rhyperior isn't the last rock type in the National Dex. Probopass is. Should that note in Trivia be deleted? [[User:GigaMetroid99|GigaMetroid99]] 13:56, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

== Miner? ==

Does it seem to anyone else that Rhyperior is based on a stereotypical miner?  The ring of orange rocks around its waist resembles a miner's belt, and the rocks on its shoulders resemble suspender straps.  And the horns on its head could represent the helmet light.  Compare these two:

:: I see it, it would be a fat miner but I definably see what you mean.  Also it looks like it has noise dampening ear muffs, something a miner/construction worker sometimes uses with heavy machinery -- [[User:D558|D558]] 11:19, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
::What's your point? A comparison like this is an opinion and cannot go into the article. -[[User:Sketch|Sketch]] 11:26, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
There is definatly a resemblance. It should go in the page. [[User:Poisson14|Poisson14]] 20:03, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
It bears a lot more of a resemblence to a miner than to some japanese movie monster or a triceratops. It has horns: woo-hoo. Doesn't mean it is based on a triceratops. It doesn't have spines on it, contrary to what the page says. The plates are placed just right to look like overalls, earmuffs, and a toolbelt. If it was completly covered in plates I would agree that it does not look like one, but it is not, and  they are placed in the right places. [[User:Poisson14|Poisson14]] 20:28, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

I totally see and think it should be included! It is more accurate then "Triceratops". Only Rhyhorn had Triceratops inspiration.[[User:Tro|Tro]] 02:17, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

I guess that resemblance could be added in the Origin section but I'm not 100% sure, 1. Did you hear [[User:Sketch|Sketch]]? 2. I don't see a large resemblance. If we noted every little trait comparison between a Pokémon and something else, there would be too much unnecessary information. --[[User:BeeBwakka|<span style="color:#52D017">Bee</span>]] [[Special:Random|<span style="color:#616D7E">§</span>]] [[User talk:BeeBwakka|<span style="color:#157DEC">Bwakka</span>]] 02:22, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

I see a much more profound resemblance to this miner design then any Dinosaur or a tank, which are mentioned. The dinosaur part is worth mentioning because of his pre-evos and he is obviously inspired to be a RhinoSaurs. BUT his plates are placed to peculiar to be asumed it's anlysksaur (can't spell it :/) inspired, save the tail. The tank is ok to be mentioned briefly because that would explain the arms having holes in the palms. 
But over all, the miner idea makes A LOT more sense now. It should be the primary origin reference. I mean, defensive plates on dinos are usually on the back, tail, head, limbs. Just a random belt of plates going around seems "clumsy" for Game Freak. No real animal has plates on it underbelly. It's just plain odd. This leads us to look at another source. That when this miner idea sets it. It explains a lot of Rhyperior's features and would probably make people hate Rhyperior less due to his "stoopid" design. I mean, look at it. A toolbelt, suspenders, ear muffs, horns, etc. I'm sure there is a lot that people can start associating Rhyperior here, to a miner. I personally noticed the silver part under his chin. It looks almost like an undershirt. You know, like what any man might were under there uniform. If you unbotton your dress shirt 2 buttons, you get a pick of the shirt underneath. I think that might be what happened to Rhyperior's design. Remember Rhydon's underbelly was that color and texture. So this looks like Rhydon literally but on a thick brown shirt. This would also explain Rhyperior's color change from silver to a brownish town. Away from stone and rock and more to a ground tone. Not to mentioned Rhyperior's shiny sprite has GOLDEN plates. Why do most people think when you say Miner? Probably Gold, or some other precious metal, or even oil. But still. You may be able to see a trend here. I MAY be reading to much into this, but it makes more sense then "Triceratops". Don't get me wrong! I love Triceratops! My favorite herbivores Dinosaur since I was little. That's party why I love Rhyhorn and his family line so much, but I really just don't see it in Rhyperior anymore. His head is shaped differently.[[User:Tro|Tro]] 04:31, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

:Wow. You make a good argument. And on your first day, too. Sure, add it for now, I won't bother an admin. But if a staff member removes it, don't re-add it. --[[User:BeeBwakka|<span style="color:#52D017">Bee</span>]] [[Special:Random|<span style="color:#616D7E">§</span>]] [[User talk:BeeBwakka|<span style="color:#157DEC">Bwakka</span>]] 05:11, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
