Rhydon is Pokédex #112, generation 1 (Kanto). Rhydon is a Stage 1 Fighting Pokémon with 100 HP. The card says it evolves from Rhyhorn. In this catalog that name is Rhyhorn (#111). The card lists Rhyperior, Rhyperior (#464) under evolves to.

Rhydon sits at 75/160 in Primal Clash, position 75 of 164. Before it is 74 Rhyhorn, and after it is 76 Rhyperior. The set belongs to the XY series. It was released on February 4, 2015. The printed size is 160. This checklist is longer, at 164 cards. The listed rarity is Uncommon.

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). Both list 100 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Kagemaru Himeno illustrated that card, and Shin Nagasawa illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 3, and here it is 4. 15 other cards of Rhydon list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Shin Nagasawa. I count 303 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Primal Clash set binder is where a full Primal Clash set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Rhydon can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
