Collector Insights

Nidoking is a Psychic-type Pokémon with 130 HP. It has two attacks: Poison Rub, which costs two Colorless Energy and deals 20 damage, and Pride Attack, requiring four Energy (Psychic and Colorless) to deal 60+ damage. Poison Rub inflicts Poison on the defending Pokémon and allows switching it with an opponent’s Benched Pokémon, also applying Poison to the new defender. Pride Attack flips a coin for each Nidoqueen on your Bench, adding 30 damage per head. The card has no resistances but is weak to Psychic-type attacks, taking 30 extra damage. It retreats with a cost of two Colorless Energy. Designed by artist Kouki Saitou, this card belongs to the Diamond & Pearl series, released as part of the Secret Wonders set in 2007. Its flavor text describes a powerful tail capable of breaking telephone poles with a single strike.

One swing of its mighty tail can snap a telephone pole as if it were a matchstick.
