Rhyhorn and Rhydon were introduced in the original Pokemon Red and Blue, and finally get a third stage three generations later. You'll have to defeat the Elite 4 and the Pokemon Champion to find the Protector, a defensive item that will evolve Rhydon into Dosaidon when traded to another Pokemon trainer. Dosaidon naturally has impressive stats, most notably its defense. In addition to these numerical upgrades, Dosaidon learns a number of powerful moves, including the new Rock Cannon move and Mega Horn, the most powerful Bug-type move, perfect for dispatching those annoying Psychics.
