It is a Ground/Rock Pokémon, and among the original 150. Its appearance is based on a rhinoceros and it evolves into [[Rhydon]]. Rhyhorn is a portmanteau of rhinoceros (which it resembles) and horn. The spelling is also influenced by the rock rhyolite. Its Japanese name is a portmanteau of sai (犀, sai), meaning rhinoceros and hōn (ホーン, hōn), meaning horn. ==Characteristics== Rhyhorn is a nocturnal omnivore. Rhyhorn is among the ten least intelligent Pokémon, but it is also among the strongest. This makes for a dangerous combination, and despite its power, Rhyhorn are rarely used as laboring animals in the animé or the manga. In fact, if it charges an enemy, it often forgets why it charged by the time it strikes. Despite its relatively small stature, it is so strong it can send something as big as a truck flying. Its bones are 1,000 times harder than human bones. The horn is smaller in females than in males.<ref>[http://www.psypokes.com/dex/psydex/111/picdex Psypoke - Picture Dex :: #111 - Rhyhorn]</ref> Although it can charge very fast due to its powerful legs, it cannot turn quickly; the range of motion of its legs are similar to a knee bending. A shiny rhyhorn is brick red all over. ==Appearance== Rhyhorn can be captured in eleven games. In [[Pokémon Red and Blue|''Pokémon Red'' and ''Blue'']] and [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen|''Pokémon FireRed'' and ''LeafGreen'']], it can be found in the Safari Zone. In [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|''Pokémon Ruby'' and ''Sapphire'']] and [[Pokémon Emerald]], it can be found in the Mach Bike area of the Safari Zone. In [[Pokémon Yellow]], it can be found in the Cerulean Cave. In [[Pokémon Gold and Silver|''Pokémon Gold'' and ''Silver'']] and [[Pokémon Crystal]], it can be found in Victory Road. Rhyhorn can have one of two special abilities: Lightningrod or Rock Head. Lightningrod draws all electric attacks to it in 2-on-2 battles,which it is immune to, and Rock Head prevents it from taking damage from moves that harm the user as well as the target (such as Take Down). Rhyhorn's move list has been modified many times over the years. Rhyhorn's current list includes mostly Normal-type moves, plus a few Rock-type, Ground-type, and Bug-type moves. It is a straightforward physical fighter. Rhyhorn's Speed stat and its special stat(s) are in the bottom 10% of all pokémon. However, its Defense stat is in the top 20% of all pokémon, and no other stat is below the top third. A Rhyhorn is used by the Team Rocket boss, Giovanni, in [[Pokémon Red and Blue|''Pokémon Red'' and ''Blue'']] and [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen|''Pokémon FireRed'' and ''LeafGreen'']]. The cry of Rhyhorn is identical to that of [[Charizard]]. Several first generation Pokémon have identical cries so space could be saved in the first games. ==Anime== At the start of ''Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden'', Ash's [[Bulbasaur]] was battling a Rhyhorn belonging to a Hiker. Rhyhorn was one of the Pokémon that was captured and cloned by Mewtwo in ''Mewtwo Strikes Back''. The first Pokémon that Ash and co. saw at Pinkan Island in ''In the Pink'' was a Rhyhorn. A Rhyhorn that belonged to Noland was seen in ''Numero Uno Articuno''. ==Manga== In the Pokémon Special manga, Rhyhorn debuts in the Red, Green & Blue chapter in ''Raging Rhydon'' as a Koga's Pokémon, since it's defeated by Red's Pika, it's forced to evolve with a mysterious injection. ==Trading Card Game== [[File:Rhyhorn c.jpg|right|thumb|Rhyhorn, as seen in the ''Pokémon Trading Card Game'']] In the American release of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, Rhyhorn appears in: Jungle, Base set 2, Gym Heroes (two times), Gym Challenge, Legendary, Skyridge, Ex Team Magma vs. Team Aqua (three times), EX Hidden Legends, EX Emerald, and EX Diamond&Pearl. Every card is of the Fighting type. Almost all of the Rhyhorn cards are commons. The two exceptions are the level 25 Brock's Rhyhorn (a rare), and card 38 Team Magma's Rhyhorn in EX Team Magma VS Team Aqua (an uncommon). ==References== {{Reflist}} *The following games and their instruction manuals: [[Pokémon Red and Blue|''Pokémon Red'', ''Green'', and ''Blue'']]; ''[[Pokémon Yellow]]''; ''[[Pokémon Stadium]]'' and ''[[Pokémon Stadium#Pokémon Stadium 2|Pokémon Stadium 2]]''; [[Pokémon Gold and Silver|''Pokémon Gold'', ''Silver'']], and ''[[Pokémon Crystal|Crystal]]''; [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|''Pokémon Ruby'', ''Sapphire'']], and ''[[Pokémon Emerald|Emerald]]''; [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen|''Pokémon FireRed'' and ''LeafGreen'']]; ''[[Pokémon Colosseum]]'' and ''[[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]'' <!--;Notes <references /> -->;Publications<!-- *Nintendo Power.
