History
Nidoking is a Poison/Ground-type Pokémon stemming from the male Nidoran line, evolving from Nidorino after being exposed to a Moon Stone. They are large, bipedal, purple mammalian Pokémon with distinct reptilian features, with a long horn on its head in particular is sharp and highly venomous, along with a tail capable of toppling a metal transmission tower. In the wild, it uses this tail to smash, constrict, or break the bones of its prey and enemies, as well possessing a steel-like hide that adds to its powerful tackle. And it has been said to have horns so hard, they can pierce a diamond. With such power and one sturdy body, Nidoking has become quite an asset to many Trainers, such as Gym Leader Giovanni and Ash Ketchum's rival, Gary Oak.
