Rhyhorn is one of the original first-generation Pokemon, a rock and ground type known for its armoured body and single horn, and its cry has appeared in Pokemon games and related media since the series began. Because the sound is short, distinctive and easy to recognise, fans have ripped, shared and reused it in gameplay videos, memes and soundboards for years. It remains popular not as a viral trend, but as a nostalgic piece of Pokemon audio that instantly signals the franchise to anyone who grew up playing the games.
About this sound
The classic Rhyhorn cry from Pokemon, a low, rumbling roar from the rock-type creature. Fans use it for game edits, memes and nostalgic retro clips.
The Rhyhorn cry is a short, guttural roar that sounds like a heavy rock creature bellowing from deep in its chest, with a rough, almost gravelly edge that rises and falls in just over a second. It is instantly recognisable to Pokemon fans as the call of the grey, horned, rhinoceros-like Pokemon, and it carries a sense of brute strength and stubborn momentum. Played on its own, it feels powerful and slightly comical at the same time, which is why it works so well as a reaction to something charging ahead, breaking through, or refusing to stop.
