Its Ability

Potent Glare

As long as this Pokémon is in the Active Spot, your opponent can't play any Pokémon that has an Ability from their hand, except for Team Rocket's Pokémon.

Its attacks

Spinning Tail

This attack does 30 damage to each of your opponent's Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)

What to make of it

Have a look at what it does well, then at what will get in your way. After that you'll know whether it belongs in your deck.

  1. A strength

    It has an Ability, Potent Glare. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.

  2. A strength

    rocket-nidoking-ex runs it in 11 of the 22 lists we have read, seen across 11 different tournaments.

  3. A strength

    Mark I. The next rotation takes mark H away, so this one stays tournament legal.

  4. Keep in mind

    Weakness Fighting ×2. Against a Fighting Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,299 tournament lists we have read, 760 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
