Collector Insights

Nidorina is a Pokémon with 60 HP featured in the Vending Machine Series 3 (Green) set, released on November 24, 1998. The card is illustrated by Atsuko Nishida and belongs to the Grass-type theme with a color scheme of #abae87. It has a rarity of Uncommon and is numbered 2 in its set. Nidorina’s primary attack, Strength in Numbers, requires two Grass energy to deal 10+ damage, adding 10 points for each Benched Nidoran♂, Nidoran♀, Nidorino, Nidorina, Nidoking, or Nidoqueen. The secondary attack, Fury Swipes, uses three energy—two Grass and one Colorless—to deal 30× damage, with the multiplier determined by the number of heads from three flipped coins. The card’s design emphasizes its connection to the Nidoran family line through its abilities. Its strategic value lies in leveraging Benched Pokémon for enhanced damage output. The set’s release date and artistic style reflect its place in early Pokémon TCG history.
