#8 Nidoking - FireRed & LeafGreen (ex6)

Nidoking is a Fighting-type Pokémon with 120 HP and a weakness to Water attacks that deal double damage. It has a retreat cost of three Colorless energy and is part of the EX series released in FireRed & LeafGreen. The card features an ability called Power Gene, which grants Nidoking’s attacks additional effects when used with other Nidoran family Pokémon. Its primary attack, Earth Poison, costs one Fighting and one Colorless energy to deal 40 damage and inflicts Poison if the Defending Pokémon already has damage counters. The secondary attack, Bound Crush, requires two Fighting and two Colorless energy, dealing 60 damage to a chosen opponent’s Pokémon while bypassing Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon. This attack can only be used once per turn. Nidoking was illustrated by Hisao Nakamura and is classified as a Rare Holo card. The card’s design incorporates its role as a dual-type Fighting/Ground Pokémon, though its specific artwork details are not described here.
