Read more ↓Rhydon, the Drill Pokémon, is a ground and rock-type creature first introduced in Generation I of the Pokémon franchise. It evolves from Rhyhorn and can further evolve into Rhyperior with the Protector item. Rhydon is characterized by its thick, armor-like hide, which allows it to withstand extreme temperatures and powerful attacks. Its single horn is incredibly strong and can drill through solid rock with ease, making it a formidable opponent in battle. In the games, Rhydon is often found in mountainous regions and caves, reflecting its preference for rocky terrain. Its diet likely consists of minerals and rocks, which it grinds down with its powerful jaws. Rhydon played a significant role in the early Pokémon games and anime, notably being the first Pokémon ever designed and often seen as a powerful ally to trainers. Its type combination gives it resistances to fire, electric, poison, and flying types, but also makes it vulnerable to water, grass, ice, fighting, and ground attacks. Rhydon's design, with its imposing figure and drill horn, has made it a memorable and iconic Pokémon since its debut.
