Pokédex No. 34

How much is a Nidoking card worth?

It depends which one. We buy 16 Nidoking cards: here they are, the one we pay the most for first. Every number is cash, and it goes to you if you send us the card in mint shape.

Two Nidoking cards can be worth wildly different amounts, and that is normal: they are different cards. Every set prints its own version, often at several rarities, and a rare version printed in small numbers can be worth a hundred times the common one. The code and number at the bottom of the card tell you which one you are holding.

The number in that column is what we pay you for that version, if it turns up mint. Worked out on the market of 22 September 2026.

The numbers on this page are for a card as it is, straight out of your binder. A graded card — scored and sealed in a case by a specialist company — sells on a different market, and its price is not this one.

Our catalogue also knows 5 more versions of Nidoking that we are not taking right now. They still exist, and they still sell elsewhere.

There are also 2 Nidoking cards we are leaving without a price, and you deserve to know why. On the market those cards are kept together under a single reference. The price sitting there is a real one. Trouble is, nothing tells us which of the cards it belongs to, so we hand it to none of them. The day each card gets a reference of its own, its price turns up here by itself.

The decks that play it

We read tournament decklists one by one. When a deck plays a Nidoking card, it shows up here — matched on the exact code the player wrote on the list.
