Nidoking is a Pokémon TCG card with 130 HP, featuring two distinct attacks. Its first attack, Poison Rub, costs two Colorless energy and deals 20 damage. The attack inflicts Poison on the Defending Pokémon and allows switching it with an opponent’s Benched Pokémon, also applying Poison to the new Defending Pokémon. The second attack, Pride Attack, requires four energy—two Psychic and two Colorless—and deals 60 damage plus 30 additional damage for each heads flipped for every Nidoqueen on the Bench. The card is part of the Shining Darkness set, released on July 5, 2007, and is classified as a Rare card. It was illustrated by artist Kouki Saitou and is numbered 56 in the set. The card’s design emphasizes its dual-type attributes and strategic versatility through its attack mechanics. Its ability to manipulate the battlefield via switching and Poison effects highlights its unique gameplay role.
