Nidoking is a Grass-type Pokémon with 90 HP, featured in the Legendary Collection set released in 2002.

Its flavor text describes using a powerful tail to smash, constrict, and break prey’s bones. The card is numbered 31 and marked as Rare, with artwork by Ken Sugimori. It lacks any abilities beyond its attacks, and its theme color is a warm beige tone. The set’s release date and classification as part of the "Other" series are also noted.
