Its Ability

Power Geneパワー遺伝子

As long as Nidoking is in play, your attacks by Nidoran ♀, Nidorina, Nidoqueen, Nidoran ♂, and Nidorino do 10 more damage to the Defending Pokemon.Nidokingが機能している限り、Nidoran F、Nidorina、Nidoqueen、Nidoran M、およびNidorinoによる攻撃は、Pokã©Monにさらに10ダメージを与えます。

Its attacks

Earth Poison地球毒

40

If the Defending Pokémon already has any damage counters on it, the Defending Pokémon is now Poisoned.防衛ポケモンにダメージカウンターがすでにある場合、防御ポケモンは現在毒されています。

Bound Crushバウンドクラッシュ

Choose 1 of your opponent's Pokémon. This attack does 60 damage to that Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Nidoking can't use Bound Crush during your next turn.対戦相手のポケモンを1つ選択します。この攻撃は、そのポケモンに60のダメージを与えます。 (ベンチ付きポケモンに衰弱と抵抗を適用しないでください。)Nidkingは、次のターン中にBound Crushを使用できません。

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

    120 HP. Only 5 cards in FireRed & LeafGreen carry more.

  2. A strength

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

  3. Keep in mind

    Retreat cost 3. Once it is out front, it stays there. Pack something that moves it another way, or you will burn whole turns discarding Energy.

  4. Keep in mind

    None of the 5,417 tournament lists we have read runs it. That does not make it a bad card — it means we have not seen it on a table yet.

  5. Keep in mind

    It is a Stage 2. You have to come through Nidorino to get here, or find a Rare Candy to skip the middle step.

  6. Keep in mind

    Weakness Water ×2. Against a Water Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 5,417 tournament lists we have read, 2,181 run at least one Pokémon of that type.

Who plays it

None of the tournament lists we have read mentions this card. That happens with a card that has just come out, or one players have not tried yet.

The other cards of this Pokémon

Two cards of the same Pokémon can be worth wildly different amounts — it depends on the set, the rarity and the artwork. We put all 23 Nidoking cards on one page, priciest first.
