Rhyhorn (Japanese: サイホーン Sihorn) is a dual-type Ground/Rock Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

It evolves into Rhydon starting at level 42, which evolves into Rhyperior when traded while holding a Protector.

(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to Game data→Evolution data for these details.)

Biology

Rhyhorn is a rhinoceros-like Pokémon with a body covered in gray, rocky plates. Its underside and rear are smooth, and it has four short legs with two claws on each foot. It has a triangular head with narrow, red eyes, two fangs protruding from its upper jaw, small, triangular openings on the upper sides, and a short horn on the tip of its snout. A female will have a shorter horn than a male. A spiked ridge runs along its back. In addition to its rocky hide, its bones are a thousand times harder than human bones.

Rhyhorn's brain is very small, giving it a one-track mind. When it runs, it forgets why it started and continues until it falls asleep. However, it may recall the reason for demolishing something. Due to its short legs, it is inept at turning and can only run in straight lines. It does not care if obstacles get in the way, merely smashing through them or sending them flying, although it may feel pain the day after a collision. This personality is how Rhyorn expands its territory. Rhyhorn is powerful enough to shatter skyscrapers or mountains instantly after charging forward with head tackles. Rhyhorn lives in rough terrain. A Rhyorn's territory expands to six miles.

Evolution

Rhyhorn evolves into Rhydon, which evolves into Rhyperior.

In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Rhydon evolves into Rhyperior when exposed to a Protector.

Trivia

  • Prior to Generation VI, Rhyhorn and Charizard had an identical cry.
  • In several games from Generation I onwards, the Pokédex states that Rhyhorn has powerful tackles. However, Rhyhorn was unable to learn Tackle until Generation VIII.
    • This was first said in Rhyhorn's Pokédex entry from Japanese Pokémon Red and Green, although this entry was left untranslated until it was reused in Pokémon FireRed. Rhyhorn's Japanese Pokédex entries correctly use Tackle's Japanese name 「たいあたり」, or its equivalent 「体当た」 in kanji mode.
  • In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Rhyhorn and Rhydon cannot learn Thunderbolt, even though they were able to in all other games in which Thunderbolt could be learned outside of leveling up.

Origin

Rhyhorn's design appears to be inspired by an Indian rhinoceros, which has similar plated armor; and an Uintatherium, from whom it may have taken its flat head and horn. Its design also has elements of ceratopsids.

Name origin

Rhyhorn may be a combination of rhinoceros, rhyolite (a type of rock, referring to its Rock type), and horn.

Sihorn is a combination of 犀 sai (rhinoceros) and horn.
