RhyhornSword & Shield #96 Pokémon Card

Rhyhorn is a formidable Ground/Rock type Pokémon, known as the Spikes Pokémon due to its tough, armored hide and large horn. First introduced in the Kanto region as part of the original 151 Pokémon in Generation I, Rhyhorn is characterized by its powerful charge and somewhat dim-witted nature. Its natural habitat includes rocky terrain, caves, and mountains, where it can be found ramming into obstacles to clear paths or simply out of instinct. Rhyhorn's diet primarily consists of rocks and minerals, which contribute to the hardness of its horn and body. In terms of behavior, Rhyhorn is often depicted as headstrong and not particularly intelligent, sometimes forgetting why it started rushing after a short while. It evolves into Rhydon, a powerful bipedal Pokémon, and then further into Rhyperior when traded holding a Protector. In the Pokémon games, Rhyhorn is a solid early-game tank, capable of dishing out powerful physical attacks. In the anime, it has appeared in various episodes, often showcasing its stubborn and powerful nature. Its design, reminiscent of a rhinoceros, gives it a strong cultural significance as an iconic, robust Pokémon from the franchise's inception.
