Devon's Rhyperior

Devon's Rhyperior is a /-Type Pokemon and among the Pokemon Devon acquired during her journey in Johto.
==Biography==
Rhyperior debuted as a Rhydon in Dragon Apprentice! under the ownership of Diana, who wished to trade him for Devon's female Dragonair. Devon agreed under the stipulation that Rhydon be equipped with a Protector she had collected in her travels. After the trade, Rhydon immediately evolved into Rhyperior.
Devon tested Rhyperior's power in a battle against Justin's Gyarados, which ended in Rhyperior's loss, but Devon was happy with her new Pokemon. After Justin left Blackthorn City, Devon remained to keep training her Rhyperior.
During the Silver Conference, Devon had Rhyperior battle in the preliminary round against Albert. He faced Albert's Raticate and endured some light but fast attacks until he defeated Raticate with a single Hammer Arm. He then battled Crobat and was quickly poisoned, forcing Devon to recall him for Altaria. 
In The Semi Struggle!, Rhyperior was Devon's first Pokemon in her quarterfinal battle against Justin. He battled Mr. Mime, and surprised everyone by revealing his Avalanche attack. Mr. Mime shifted into a speed strategy, and the Psychic-Type seemed to dominate the battle by defending with Reflect and hammering Focus Punch attacks until Rhyperior locked Mr. Mime in position with Hammer Arm. He then won the round with Rock Wrecker.
Since Mr. Mime's Reflect was still active, Devon recalled Rhyperior for Starmie. It seemed to reappear to battle Justin's Eevee once Reflect wears off but it is is later revealed to be Devon's Zoroark in its Illusion disguise. 
Rhyperior returned to battle Marowak in the second half of the battle. He manipulated Marokwak into direct attacks to empower an Avalanche then land a Rock Blast. When Marowak landed a Flare Blitz, Rhyperior's retaliated Rock Wrecker which failed but still still forced Rhyperior to recharge. Marowak landed devastating blows in the interim but when she backed away, Rhyperior fully recovered and defeated the Fire-Type with Avalanche.
Rhyperior continued to battle Totodile and endured a Water Gun to land an Avalanche, but Avalanche failed as Marowak's Cursed Body sealed the attack. After enduring a Waterfall, Rhyperior was recalled for Aerodactyl.
The Full Battle continued in Be in at the Johto Finish!, and Rhyperior battled Scizor, Justin's final Pokemon. Rhyperior landed Rock Blast attacks that Scizor ignored as he powered-up with Swords Dance. Scizor then blasted Rhyperior with Flash Cannon. Rhyperior retaliated with Avalanche. Scizor recovered the attack and struck Rhyperior with Metal Claw. Rhyperior attacked back with Hammer Arm, but Scizor blocked the attack and finally defeated Rhyperior with another Metal Claw.
