Rhydon in Polished Crystal

Ground / Rock — where to catch it, what it learns, and how it differs from the official games.

Compared with the official games

Stats HP 105 → 110, Sp. Def 45 → 50 (total 485 → 495)
Abilities gains Solid Rock and loses Lightning Rod

Compared against present-day official data. The Fairy type and hidden abilities arrived after Pokémon Crystal, so a difference here can belong to the series rather than to this hack.
