Rhyperior 12/130 · Diamond & Pearl

Rhyperior is Pokédex #464, generation 4 (Sinnoh). Rhyperior is a Stage 2 Fighting Pokémon with 140 HP. The card lists level 61. The card says it evolves from Rhydon. In this catalog that name is Rhydon (#112).

Rhyperior sits at 12/130 in Diamond & Pearl, position 12 of 130. Before it is 11 Palkia, and after it is 13 Roserade. The set belongs to the Diamond & Pearl series. It was released on 1 May 2007. The printed size is 130, and the checklist is the same length. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

Earth Fissure is listed as Poké-Power. Once during your turn, when you play Rhyperior from your hand to evolve 1 of your Pokémon, you may discard the top 3 cards from your opponent's deck. The attack Rock Wrecker lists 80 damage. The cost is Fighting, Fighting, Colorless. This attack's damage isn't affected by Weakness or Resistance. Rhyperior can't attack during your next turn. Weakness is Water +30. Resistance is Lightning -20. Retreat cost is 4. 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 12 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2007 to 2024. The earliest other card is Rhyperior LV.X DP29/56 in DP Black Star Promos (2007). That card is named Rhyperior LV.X, while this one is Rhyperior. That card lists 170 HP, and this one lists 140 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Rare Holo. Ryo Ueda illustrated that card, and Nakaoka illustrated this one. 13 other cards of Rhyperior list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Nakaoka. I count 46 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Diamond & Pearl set binder is where a full Diamond & Pearl 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.
