Collector Insights
Nidoking is a Grass-type Pokémon with 90 HP, featuring two distinct attacks. The Thrash attack requires one Grass and two Colorless Energy, dealing 30 damage plus an additional 10 if a coin flip results in heads, while inflicting 10 damage to Nidoking itself on tails. The Toxic attack uses three Grass Energy to deal 20 damage and poison the defending Pokémon, causing it to take 20 Poison damage each turn instead of 10. Nidoking is part of the Pokémon Web set, released in October 2001, and is classified as a Rare card. The card’s design is attributed to artist Ken Sugimori, known for his work on Pokémon illustrations. Its attacks emphasize both offensive and status effects, with Thrash offering a probabilistic damage boost and Toxic introducing a sustained damage mechanic. The card’s strategic versatility lies in its ability to disrupt opponents through direct damage or prolonged penalties.
