#11 Nidoking - Base (base1)
Nidoking is a Grass-type Pokémon with 90 HP, featuring a retreat cost of three Colorless energy. It possesses two attacks: Thrash, which requires one Grass and two Colorless energy to deal 30 damage plus an additional 10 if a coin flip lands heads, or inflicts 10 damage to itself on tails, and Toxic, a Grass-cost attack that deals 20 damage and poisons the Defending Pokémon, causing it to take 20 Poison damage each turn. The card’s flavor text describes Nidoking using its tail to smash and break prey’s bones. It has a Psychic-type weakness multiplied by two and no resistances. Designed by artist Ken Sugimori, this Rare Holo card belongs to the Base set, released in 1999. Its themecolor is a muted green, reflecting its Grass typing. The card’s rules and regulation markings are unspecified, but its strategic versatility lies in its dual attacks and status effects.
