Collector Insights

Nidoran ♂ is a Grass-type Pokémon with 50 HP, featuring a theme color of #c2bd87. It was first released in the Vending Machine Series 1 (Blue) set on March 23, 1998, and is classified as a Common rarity card. The card is illustrated by artist Mitsuhiro Arita. Its primary attack, Focus Energy, requires one Colorless energy to activate and grants Nidoran♂ a doubled base damage for its Horn Rush attack during the next turn. Horn Rush demands one Grass and one Colorless energy, dealing 40 damage but with a 50% chance to have no effect based on a coin flip. The card’s design and mechanics align with its Grass-type attributes, emphasizing strategic play through its dual attack options. Nidoran♂’s ability to manipulate its own damage output reflects its role in balancing offensive and defensive tactics within gameplay. The card’s number in the set is 7, contributing to its distinct identity within the series.
