Abilities

- Poison-Point
  Whenever a move makes contact with this Pokémon, the move's user has a 30% chance of being poisoned.
- Rivalry
  This Pokémon inflicts 1.25× as much regular damage against Pokémon of the same gender and 0.75× as much regular damage against Pokémon of the opposite gender. If either Pokémon is genderless, damage is unaffected.

Hidden Abilities

- Sheer-Force
  This Pokémon's moves with extra effects have 1.3× their power, but lose their extra effects. An effect chance is a move's chance to inflict a status ailment, cause a stat change, or make the target flinch in addition to the move's main effect. For example, thunder shock's paralysis is an extra effect, but thunder wave's is not, nor are knock off's item removal and air cutter's increased critical hit rate. Moves that lower the user's stats are unaffected.

Nidoking

Nidorino is the final stage of Nidoran♂ Pokémon line. It is a dual-type Pokémon from Generation one, being both poison and ground Pokémon. Nidoking evolves from Nidorino on exposure to Moon Stones.

Nidoking breeds with Ditto during Generation V. Its eggs may contain Nidoran♂ or Nidoran♀. Nidoking itself is a male Pokémon of the Nidoran Pokémon line. It is found in savannas and plains and is rarely caught in the wild as it evolves from an evolution stone.

Characteristics

Nidoking is a large Pokémon and is the last of its evolution stage. It has two feet. It is very large, over 1.4 meters in height and 60 kilograms or 130 pounds in weight.

It is very proud of their strength and power. Its distinct features include very large ears with spines, narrow eyes, a snout with pointed front teeth, and a very long venomous horn. It also has gray plates on the front of its body and spines down its back. There is a round spine on each of their elbows.

It has three claws on each of its feet. According to manga, Nidoking also has acid within its claws as additional protection. It has very large tails capable of overbalancing and bringing down a metal transmission tower.

It uses its tail for everything. Whether it is to break, constrict, or fight its enemies. It also uses its tail to make space to charge at its enemies during a fight. On the other hand, its horns are capable of breaking diamonds.

Nidoking is a very powerful Pokémon. Once it goes on a rampage, it is very hard to control it. Only a Nidoqueen is capable of calming it down.
