RHYHORN

#111 RHYHORN
This is the next in the long list of Pokemon that a customer of mine on Etsy has requested.  This pattern, along with Rhydon, completes the evolution that begins with Rhyhorn and ends with Rhyperior.  This will be the third complete evolution train that I have completed – Scyther to Scizor and Porygon to Porygon2 to Porygon-Z.  This pattern includes the color lists for both the normal version of Rhyhorn but also the Shiny version of Rhyhorn.
