Rhydon
Legendary Collection

#35 Rhydon - Legendary Collection (base6)

Rhydon is a Fighting-type Pokémon with 100 HP. It has a retreat cost of three Colorless Energy and a converted retreat cost of 3. The card features two attacks: Horn Attack, which costs one Fighting and two Colorless Energy to deal 30 damage, and Ram, requiring four Fighting Energy to inflict 50 damage. The Ram attack also causes Rhydon to take 20 damage and forces the opponent to switch the Defending Pokémon with one of their Benched Pokémon, even if Rhydon is Knocked Out. Rhydon resists Lightning-type attacks by 30 damage but is weak to Grass-type attacks, which deal double damage. The card is part of the Legendary Collection set, released in May 2002, and is classified under the "Other" series. Artist Kagemaru Himeno designed the card, and its flavor text describes the Pokémon as protected by an armor-like hide, capable of surviving in extreme environments like molten lava. The card’s theme emphasizes its resilience and formidable physical attributes.
