Read more ↓Rhyhorn, the Spikes Pokémon, is a Ground/Rock type creature introduced in Generation I. It is known for its sturdy, rock-hard hide and a horn on its snout that is strong enough to shatter diamonds. Rhyhorn primarily inhabits rocky mountainous regions and caves, where its powerful charge allows it to navigate rugged terrain with ease. Its diet consists mainly of rocks and minerals, which contribute to the hardness of its body. Despite its formidable appearance, Rhyhorn is often depicted as somewhat dim-witted and prone to charging headlong into obstacles. It evolves into Rhydon starting at level 42, which then evolves into Rhyperior when traded holding a Protector. In the games, Rhyhorn is a common early-game Pokémon in many regions, often encountered in caves or rocky areas. In the anime, it has been featured in various episodes, sometimes as a racing Pokémon due to its powerful charge. Its evolutionary line is often associated with strength and defense, making it a popular choice for trainers seeking a robust team member. Rhyhorn's design, reminiscent of a rhinoceros, gives it a distinct and memorable presence in the Pokémon world, contributing to its enduring cultural significance among fans of the franchise.
