Nidoking

Nidoking is No. 0034 in the National Pokédex and is listed here as a Poison and Ground-type Drill Pokémon. When it goes on a rampage, it’s impossible to control. But in the presence of a Nidoqueen it’s lived with for a long time, Nidoking calms down. This page brings together its key game data, including typing, abilities, base stats, evolution details, forms, Pokédex entries and moves, so it can be used as a quick reference before building out a deeper guide.

Nidoking first belongs to Generation I. Nidoking does not have a longer evolution chain recorded in the current local data. Its strongest listed base stat is Attack, which helps show where it naturally fits when comparing Pokémon by role. Its abilities can include Poison Point, Rivalry and Sheer ♀orce, giving players useful options when comparing forms, movesets and team roles. The sections below are generated from the local Pokémon database and can be expanded later with matchup advice, best games to use it in, notable appearances and more detailed strategy notes.
