RHYDON

This is the next in the long list of Pokemon that a customer of mine on Etsy has requested.  This pattern includes the yarn colors for making Rhydon and Shiny Rhydon.  This will be the fourth evolution train that I have completed.  Diglett to Dugtrio, Scyther to Scizor and Porygon to Porygon2 to Poyrgon-Z are the other three.  I suspect that this will not be my last evolution train completion.
