Sword & Shield is a set in the Sword & Shield series. It was released on February 7, 2020. The printed size is 202. This checklist is longer, at 216 cards. Rhydon is 98/202, in position 98 of 216 on this checklist. Before it is 97 Rhyhorn, and after it is 99 Rhyperior. The listed rarity is Uncommon.
Rhydon is a Stage 1 Fighting Pokémon with 120 HP. In the Pokédex this is Rhydon (#112), generation 1 (Kanto). The card says it evolves from Rhyhorn. In this catalog that name is Rhyhorn (#111). The card lists Rhyperior, Rhyperior (#464) under evolves to.
KEIICHIRO ITO illustrated this card. The same name is on 50 other cards in the catalog.
Rhydon (#112) has 19 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 17 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2024. The earliest other card is Rhydon 45/64 in Jungle (1999). That card lists 100 HP, and this one lists 120 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Kagemaru Himeno illustrated that card, and KEIICHIRO ITO illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 3, and here it is 4. 17 other cards of Rhydon list a different HP.
The attack Horn Drill lists 50 damage. The cost is Fighting, Colorless, Colorless. Rock Slide is another attack lists 100 damage. The cost is Fighting, Fighting, Colorless, Colorless. This attack also does 10 damage to 2 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Weakness is Grass ×2. Retreat cost is 4. The flavor text reads "Protected by an armor-like hide, it is capable of living in molten lava of 3,600 degrees Fahrenheit." The regulation mark is D.
I keep a set binder for Sword & Shield, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Sword & Shield set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Rhydon can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
