Rhyperior is Pokédex #464, generation 4 (Sinnoh). Rhyperior is a Stage 2 Fighting Pokémon with 160 HP. The card says it evolves from Rhydon. In this catalog that name is Rhydon (#112).

Rhyperior sits at 77/160 in Primal Clash, position 77 of 164. Before it is 76 Rhyperior, and after it is 78 Nosepass. 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 Rare Holo.

Rock Wall is listed as Ability. Any damage done to your Pokémon by an opponent's attack is reduced by 10 (after applying Weakness and Resistance). The attack Hammer Arm lists 100 damage. The cost is Fighting, Fighting, Colorless, Colorless. Discard the top card of your opponent's deck. Weakness is Grass ×2. Retreat cost is 4. Ω Barrier is the ancient trait on this card. Whenever your opponent plays a Trainer card (excluding Pokémon Tools and Stadium cards), prevent all effects of that card done to this Pokémon. The flavor text reads "It puts rocks in holes in its palms and uses its muscles to shoot them. Geodude are shot at rare times."

Rhyperior (#464) has 14 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 13 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2007 to 2024. The earliest other card is Rhyperior 12/130 in Diamond & Pearl (2007). That card lists 140 HP, and this one lists 160 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. Nakaoka illustrated that card, and TOKIYA illustrated this one. 12 other cards of Rhyperior list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads TOKIYA. I count 93 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. Rhyperior can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). I still need this card.
