Rhydon (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

Rhydon may be a combination of ''{{wp|rhinoceros}}'' and ''don''. ''Rhy'' may also derive from the {{wp|igneous rock}} called ''{{wp|rhyolite}}'', alluding to its Ground/Rock type combination. ''Don'' may mean ''lord'' in Latin—emphasizing it being the final evolution of its line pre-[[Generation IV]]—or ''tooth'' in Ancient Greek—as it is a suffix commonly used in {{wp|dinosaur}} names, so it could be a reference to those prehistoric creatures as well.
