Rono: Difference between revisions

In ''[[PS190|Blowing Past Nosepass I]]'', Rono was Sapphire's first choice against [[Roxanne]] and her {{TP|Roxanne|Nosepass}}. After exchanging an attack Sapphire declares that {{p|Nosepass}} is too strong and decides to switch, but is unable to. Roxanne points out that Nosepass has {{a|Magnet Pull}} and switching Rono out is impossible. Nosepass then attacks with a barrage of {{m|Rock Throw}}s and attempts to finish him with {{m|Rock Slide}}. Roxanne declares the match over, but Rono climbs out of the rubble and attacks. Due to Nosepass being unable to face a different direction than north, it loses its balance when it turns around, allowing Rono to beat it and give Sapphire the victory.

In ''[[PS195|Mashing Makuhita]]'', Sapphire trains Rono and Chic at [[Granite Cave]] in order to prepare for her [[Gym]] battle against [[Brawly]]. After training for most of the day the two [[Evolution|evolve]] into {{p|Lairon}} and {{p|Combusken}}. Sapphire then goes to Brawly and begins their battle. During the battle Rono is sent out against his {{TP|Brawly|Makuhita}} and immediately attacks with {{m|Metal Claw}} and {{m|Iron Tail}}. Using its Jū fighting style, Makuhita easily defeats Rono, and Sapphire recalls him just in time.

In ''[[PS199|Adding It Up with Plusle & Minun II]]'', Rono was used alongside Chic to battle [[Courtney]] and her {{p|Ninetales}}. The two were quickly defeated.

In ''[[PS213|Bubble Bubble Toil and Azumarill II]]'', Rono battled [[Matt]] in a flooded cable car. Matt sends his Sharpedo in to finish Sapphire off and Rono jumps in the way and uses {{m|Iron Defense}}, breaking Sharpedo's teeth. While distracted Sapphire takes the teeth and pierces the glass, removing the water. With the water gone Rono smashes into them with {{m|Take Down}} and sends them flying.

In ''[[PS256|With a Spoink in Your Step II]]'', Rono evolved into {{p|Aggron}} during Sapphire's training on {{gdis|Mirage Island|III}}.

In ''[[PS267|It All Ends Now VIII]]'', Rono battled alongside the rest of Sapphire and Ruby's Pokémon against Maxie and Archie.

==={{chap|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}===

In ''[[PAORAS12|Omega Alpha Adventure 12]]'', Rono was used in a [[Double Battle]] alongside {{p|Gallade|Kirly}} against [[Zinnia]]'s {{p|Goodra}} and Salamence. Salamence was able to attack Rono with {{m|Fire Fang}} but Rono returned all of the damage back and more using {{m|Metal Burst}}. The battle was stopped when Zinnia fled for the rocket that [[Devon Corporation]] launched.

==Personality and characteristics==

Rono is a mischievous Pokémon and loves to play around, though he always listens to {{adv|Sapphire}}. Like Sapphire, he has a love for battling and is very strong. He cares greatly for his {{pkmn|Trainer}}. In battle, Rono is used for his defensive capabilities and tough exterior. He has a love for eating iron.
