Rhyhorn

() is a /-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Rhyhorn is a gray rhinoceros-like Pokémon that has rock hard skin and armor covering its body. It has spikes on top of it to protect itself from its foes. It walks on four legs and has a horn that can be used as a drill. And it has two toes on each foot and two sharp teeth sticking out of its mouth. 
===Gender differences===
The male's nose horn is longer than the female's.
===Natural abilities===
Rhyhorn can have the ability Rock Head or the ability Lightningrod. Rock Head prevents Rhyhorn from sustaining recoil damage. Lightning Rod directs all -type attacks to Rhyhorn. Its body is clad in a thick hide, and its tackles topple buildings. Unfortunately, it is not very clever, and can only run in straight lines. It is very difficult to catch in Safari Zone due to missing with Safari Balls.
===Behavior===
While powerful, Rhyhorn are not the smartest Pokémon in the world. They are said to only be able to remember one thing at a time. While that is not true, they are still rather dense Pokémon. They will often charge at something but forget why they began charging in the first place mid-run; they will not stop running until they tire out and collapse from exhaustion, however. Sometimes, destroying things help Rhyhorn remember why they began running. 
Rhyhorn can be very friendly and playful but if approached from behind they may get startled and run as they have a blind spot directly behind them, like horses do. They will gladly allow their trainers to ride on their backs; in some regions, Rhyhorn racing is a popular sport.
==Evolution==
Rhyhorn evolves into Rhydon at level 42.

==Trivia==
*Unlike the other /-type Pokémon of Generation I, Rhyhorn and Rhydon have as their primary type and as their secondary.
*In Pokémon X/Y, you can ride a Rhyhorn in two areas: One is in Vainville Town, in the sandbox by your house, and the other is on Route 9, required to ride to Glittering Cave.
*Rhyhorn's name probably comes from "rhinoceros" and "horn".
*Unlike most basic Pokémon, Rhyhorn does not look like a baby Pokémon due to its size and appearance; giving fans the idea that there could have been plans of a pre-evolved form before Generation IV introduced Rhyperior.
===Origin===
Rhyhorn appears to be based on a rhinoceros.
===Etymology===
Rhyorn may come from rhinoceros, horn, and rhyolite, a type of volcanic rock.
