In the Pokemon Adventures manga,
[Koga](http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Koga) used some kind of item
(like a syringe) on his Rhyhorn:

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

Red confirmed this:

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.

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?

What did Team Rocket use to evolve Rhyhorn?


No reliable site lists what that syringe is (or could be) and it never
appeared again. Misty asumes that an other of these syringes was used to
evolve a gyarados (seen earlier).

Team Rocket tried to create ways to force an evolution (like the experiments
at the lake of rage), so it's most likely another experiment to force the
evolution of a pokémon and to make it stronger.
