Collector Insights

Nidoking is a Fighting-type Pokémon with 110 HP, featuring a retreat cost of three Colorless energy. It belongs to the E-Card series, released in the Aquapolis set on January 15, 2003, and is illustrated by Naoyo Kimura. The card includes a Poké-Power called Earth Rage, which allows the player to flip a coin during their turn if Nidoking is the Active Pokémon; heads result in damage counters on each of the opponent's Benched Pokémon. Its primary attack, Giant Horn, costs two Fighting and two Colorless energy, dealing 50 damage plus an additional 30 if a coin flip lands heads. Nidoking resists Lightning-type attacks by 30 damage but is weak to Grass-type attacks, which deal double damage. The card’s theme color is a warm orange-brown, reflecting its rugged, earthy design. It is classified as a Rare Holo card, emphasizing its collectible value within the Pokémon TCG.
