The '''Rhydon trap''' is a [[Error traps and anti-cheating traps|error trap]] in {{RGBY}}.
Whenever a [[glitch Pokémon]] with a Pokédex number ([[glitch Pokémon family|family]]) greater than 151 (or 0) is captured in the wild or obtained as a gift Pokémon, and its Pokédex entry is registered, it will become a Rhydon if there is space in the party or a Rhydon/original glitch Pokémon hybrid if the glitch Pokémon is sent to the Pokémon Storage System.
==Avoiding the trap==
The Rhydon trap can be avoided if the game considers the glitch Pokémon to have already been registered as being owned in the Pokédex.
===Registering the capture flag===
The "own" [[glitch Pokédex flag]]s for all glitch Pokémon are the "seen" Pokédex flags for valid Pokémon. For example, the "own" Pokédex flag for [[Missingno.]], [[GlitchDex/RB:000|'M (00)]], [[GlitchDex/Y:200|g g]] and [[GlitchDex/Y:249|$]] (No. 000 glitch Pokémon) is seeing Cubone; hence if the player has encountered Cubone, obtaining a Missingno. will not turn it into a Rhydon.
Additionally, in this example capturing the Missingno. would register Cubone as seen if it wasn't already; meaning that the player can avoid the trap by obtaining the same Pokémon twice.
===Evolution===
If one glitch Pokémon evolves into another with a Pokédex number greater than 151 or 0, then the Rhydon trap does not apply. For example, the {{RB}} glitch Pokémon "[[GlitchDex/RB:226|……]]" can evolve into a hex:AF [[Missingno.]] at level 25. Cubone would be registered as seen but the "……" would not become a Rhydon.
===Obtaining hybrids===
Another means of avoiding the Rhydon trap is by obtaining an unstable hybrid that will become (a stable version of) the glitch Pokémon when it is received from the Day Care and stabilizing it. The action of withdrawing a Pokémon from the Day Care does not register the Pokémon in the Pokédex. It is possible to obtain such a Pokémon through the [[large storage box byte shift glitch]].
The [[Q Trick|Pokémon merge glitch]] and PC Pokémon 9 hybridization side effect of the [[international 'dokokashira door glitch']] may be used to obtain a Pokémon with a different or lesser ID of the original Pokémon, that is a hybrid between one Pokémon (the one that the player obtains) and the original. Since the recipient byte is unchanged, the only way to stabilize the Pokémon into the new Pokémon is to evolve it (or possibly use Pokémon Stadium 2).
===Trading===
A glitch Pokémon obtained from a trade will not become a Rhydon regardless of its Pokédex number. The [[Time Capsule exploit]] can be abused to obtain Pokémon unobtainable from the [[Trainer escape glitch]] regardless of their Pokédex number (family).
===Arbitrary code execution===
With arbitrary code execution or a memory editor/[[cheating device]], one can directly modify an address controlling an existing Pokémon species, such as D164 and D16B (D163 and D16A in Yellow) which control bytes 1 and 2 of the first party Pokémon species or DA81 and DA96 (DA80 and DA95 in Yellow) which control bytes 1 and 2 of the first stored Pokémon in the Pokémon Storage System species.
===Cheating device===
==Status as a glitch==▼
The following codes for a GameShark or Xploder GB modify the species of the first Pokémon in the party 01xx64D1, 01xx6AD1 (01xx63D1 and 01xx69D1 in Yellow) where xx should be replaced with the species ID (can be looked up at [[The Big HEX List]]).
The Rhydon trap was programmed into the game as an intended feature, which may have been used for debugging purposes.▼
These codes will modify the species bytes 1 and 2 of the first stored Pokémon in the Pokémon Storage System: 01xx80DA, 01xx95DA (01xx7FDA, 01xx94DA in Yellow).
▲The Rhydon trap itself is not considered a glitch, and was programmed into the game as an intended feature, which may have been used for debugging purposes.
The following code in the {{RB}} ROM is responsible for converting the glitch Pokémon into a Rhydon.
