[edit] In the video games

Dosidon can be obtained by trading a Rhydon with the Protector item equipped. Dosidon's Attack, Defense and Hit Points are all very high at 140, 130 and 115 respectively; its Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed, however, are all very low. Dosidon is extremely weak to Water and Grass attacks, as well as being weak to Fighting, Ground, Ice, and Steel attacks. It is also immune to Electric attacks, extremely resistant to Poison attacks, and resistant to Normal, Flying, Fire, and Rock attacks. Its ability, Hard Rock, lowers the damage taken from super-effective attacks. It can also exclusively learn Rock Cannon, a physical Rock-type version of Hyper Beam.
