Today's blog post will be about Rhyhorn from Pokémon. Rhyhorn is a ground/rock type Pokémon, and it is the pre-evolution of both Rhydon and Rhyperior. This Pokémon is known to be very strong, but also very dumb. In fact, both of these statements appear multiple times throughout Rhyhorn's Pokedex entries. It can only run in a straight line as well, since it's four short legs makes it hard for it to turn. Rhyhorn also has enough strength to topple a skyscraper. Despite this, it can't be used for work. This is because of Rhyhorn's lack of intelligence. Apparently its small brain also gives it a bad memory, since it can't remember why it is running after it starts. However, some of this is contradicted in the Pokémon XY Anime. It is shown in the Anime that this Pokémon is used for Rhyhorn races. Although that doesn't necessarily mean it has a good memory, it does show Rhyhorn turning while running and listening to orders. Serena was actually shown to be training for Rhyhorn races with one when she was younger as well. It's hard to say why these facts were disregarded in the XY Anime though. As a little bonus, I will be including a picture of a Rhyhorn race down below. Enjoy!
