    The Rhyhorn card itself is part of the Sun & Moon: Burning Shadows expansion, which was released in August 2017. This set is notable for introducing several significant cards to the competitive meta at the time, particularly featuring Necrozma and Marshadow. Rhyhorn, as a Stage 1 evolution, plays a minor role in the broader game, but its evolution Rhyhorn and Rhyperior have had varying competitive uses across different eras of the TCG.

    DID YOU KNOW?

    1

    Rhyhorn's design is heavily inspired by rhinoceroses, particularly its tough, rocky hide and horn, reflecting its Ground/Rock typing.

    2

    Despite its powerful appearance, Rhyhorn is known for being somewhat clumsy due to its low intelligence and poor eyesight, often charging recklessly.

    MATERIAL & CONDITION

    Surface

    The card has a smooth, glossy finish typical of modern Pokémon TCG cards. The surface appears to be in good condition with no immediate signs of creasing or significant scratching, though a detailed examination under angled light would confirm.

    Weight & Feel

    Lightweight and flimsy, as expected for a single standard Pokémon trading card. It is approximately 1.8 grams, consistent with other cards of its type.

    Condition

    Visually, the card exhibits good centering for a mass-produced item. The edges and corners appear sharp without significant whitening, suggesting it has been handled minimally or stored carefully. Given it's a common card, minor imperfections from pack-fresh condition are typical but not visible here.
