<p>In the Pokemon Adventures manga, <a href="http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Koga" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Koga</a> used some kind of item (like a syringe) on his Rhyhorn:</p>

<p>The strange part is that the Rhyhorn suddenly evolved into a Rhydon, in the middle of the fight:</p>

<p>Red confirmed this:</p>

<p>I didn't understand how it would be possible to make Rhyhorn to evolve like this, because Rhyhorn is not the kind of Pokemon that could be evolved by stones.</p>

<p>So what did Team rocket use? Does this item appear again in the manga and did someone explain it better? Or does it even exist in the TV series? </p>
