Behavior and Habitat:

• Rhyhorn are primarily found in rocky and grassy areas, such as caves and savannas.
• They are known for their straightforward and somewhat reckless nature, often charging headlong into obstacles.
• Though not very bright, Rhyhorns use their strength and endurance to their advantage.
• They tend to travel in herds, following a leader Rhyhorn or its evolved form, Rhydon.

In Battle:

• Rhyhorn is a physical tank with high Defense, making it effective against physical attackers.
• Notable moves include Stomp, Rock Blast, and Earthquake.
• It is strong against Electric, Fire, Poison, Rock, and Flying types due to its dual typing.

Interesting Facts:

• Due to its uninhibited nature, it sometimes finds itself stuck in tight spaces it cannot escape.
• Rhyhorn's design and characteristics are inspired by a combination of a rhinoceros and a rock-like dinosaur, reflecting its Ground/Rock typing.
