The card has no resistances and is weak to Psychic-type attacks, which deal double damage. Its design by Ken Sugimori reflects a regal, armored appearance. The flavor text highlights its robust defense and reliance on physical strength for combat. As part of the Base Set 2, it was released in February 2000. This card emphasizes Nidoqueen’s role as a durable, powerful attacker in Grass-type strategies.
