Nidoking Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
Aquapolis Nidoking stands out as an e-Reader-era holo with the distinctive H18/H32 numbering, part of Aquapolis’s separate holo numbering system that collectors instantly associate with the set’s premium cards.
Set Lore
This card comes from Aquapolis, the January 15, 2003 expansion that introduced Crystal Pokémon in English and became one of the signature sets of the e-Card era.
Card History
Nidoking’s Earth Rage Poké-Power gives the card a true battlefield-boss feel by threatening every opposing Benched Pokémon while Giant Horn adds a high-risk, high-reward finishing swing.
In-Game
A hidden gem for game-and-card crossover fans is that this card’s e-Reader Pokédex entry was pulled from Pokémon Crystal, tying the Aquapolis print directly back to the Game Boy era many collectors grew up with.
Cultural Impact
Nidoking carries serious Gen I prestige: Bulbapedia notes it was designed by Ken Sugimori and was one of the first Pokémon ever created, which adds extra historical weight to a premium WotC holo like this one.
