, 4 months ago→Rhyhorn, Rhydon, and Rhyperior (Sihorn, Sidon, and Dosidon)
Line 1,436:
* [[Arm Cannon]]: Rhyperior, whose hands have holes that it can fire rocks from.
* [[Ascended Meme]]: Rhydon having the Lightningrod ability. Though unlike in the anime, Pikachu aiming for the horn is ''not'' an instant knockout.
* [[Awesome Yet Impractical]]: These guys have a ''massive'' array of Special Attacking options to pick from, but their Special Attacking ''stat'' is pathetically weak.
* [[Boss Battle]]: Rhyhorn and Rhydon are Giovanni's most powerful Pokémon in the Kanto games, and Bertha uses a Rhyperior as her ace in ''Platinum''. Rhyperior is also somewhat popular as a boss Pokémon in spinoffs, with Heath using one in his third battle in ''[[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]]'' while Sabi sics one on you as a part of her trio of Sinnoh evolutions in ''Legends Arceus''.
* [[Confusion Fu]]: While not as varied, due to its poor Special Attack stat, Rhyhorn and evolutions have an incredibly diverse movepool, and can use almost all of the elements in one form or another (Psychic and Fairy can't be used at all).
* [[Dishing Out Dirt]]: They are the only Rock/Ground types that are part Ground first, and part Rock second.
* [[The Ditz]]: Rhyhorn is said to be so dumb that it has rocks for brains and [[Delayed Reaction|can charge into a brick wall and not feel any pain until the next day]].
* [[Dumb Muscle]]: Ditto for the above.
* [[For Massive Damage]]: Grass and
* [[Mighty Glacier]]: They're amazing at tanking hits and dishing them out, but they're not going to be winning footraces any time soon.
* [[Mythology Gag]]: Rhydon was the first Pokemon ever created, and appropriately its index number was 1 in Gen 1.
* [[Prehistoric Monster]]: They look like a mix between rhinos and dinosaurs, though they don't draw any inspiration from any particular dino so much as they do just the general ''idea'' of dinosaurs being vicious, brutish monsters. Rhyperior does, however, have a clubbed tail evocative of an Ankylosaurus.
* [[Rhino Rampage]]: Will charge straight ahead (no matter
* [[Signature Move]]: Rock Wrecker for Rhyperior, although no longer exclusive as of Gen V.
* [[Stone Wall]]: Combine Rhyperior's large HP and Defense stats, give them 128 EVs each, give it Solid Rock, slap an Assault Vest on it, and send it into battle while Sandstorm is up, and it becomes one of the beefiest tanks around (for context, this setup gives Rhyperior 403 HP, 328 Defense, and 328 Sp.Def with the added boosts from Sandstorm and Assault Vest).
