Dosidon (ドサイドン Dosaidon?, Dosidon in original Japanese language versions) are one of the 493 fictional species of Pokémon creatures from the multi-billion-dollar[1] Pokémon media franchise – a collection of video games, anime, manga, books, trading cards and other media, created by Satoshi Tajiri. The purpose of Dosidon in the games, anime and manga, as with all other Pokémon, is to battle both wild Pokémon, untamed creatures encountered while the player passes through various environments, and tamed Pokémon owned by Pokémon trainers.[2] Dosidon is the evolved form of Rhydon, a Pokémon from a previous generation, and appears in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl.

Biological characteristics

It appears to be a stylized, bipedal black Rhydon with red plates. Its second horn grew out from a Rhydon having the main horn pointed forward. It also has developed an Ankylosaur tail. The female's upper horn is smaller.

In addition to its extra armory, it has also developed holes in the palms of its hands. Dosidon stuff rocks in them to fire at enemies, thus why it learns Rock Cannon.

Also, Dosidon literally looks like a tank , being very large and heavy, along with being covered in armor and possessing two cannons for arms, not to mention that its Attack and Defense stats make it a deadly physical tank as well.

In the video games

Dosidon can be obtained by trading a Rhydon with the Protector item equipped. Dosidon's Attack, Defense and Hit Points all have very high base stat values; its Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed (which is actually unchanged from Rhydon's), in contrast, are all very low. Dosidon's ability, Solid Rock, lowers the damage taken from super-effective attacks. It can also exclusively learn Rock Wrecker, a physical Rock-type version of Hyper Beam.
