Collector Insights

Nidorina is a Psychic-type Pokémon with 80 HP. It has a weakness to Psychic attacks, which deal 20 more damage. The card requires two Colorless Energy to retreat. Nidorina’s attacks include Jump Tackle, which costs one Colorless Energy and deals 30 damage while inflicting 10 damage to itself and ignoring Weakness and Resistance. The second attack, Stress Poison, uses Psychic and two Colorless Energy to deal 40+ damage, adding 20 more if Nidorina has damage counters and Poisoning the Defending Pokémon. The card was released in the Rising Rivals set from the Platinum series on May 16, 2009. Artist Ken Sugimori’s design reflects Nidorina’s defensive posture, as its flavor text describes it raising barbs on its body in response to danger. This Common rarity card carries number 73 in its set.

When it senses danger, it raises all the barbs on its body. These barbs grow slower than NIDORINO's.
