The '''Rhydon trap''' is a [[Error traps and anti-cheating traps|error trap]] in {{RGBY}}.

==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.
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.
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).
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.
