Nidoking Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
Aquapolis Nidoking is one of the set’s three famous Crystal Pokémon secret rares, numbered 150/147, which is exactly the kind of over-the-set numbering that makes WotC-era chase cards feel legendary to collectors.
Set Lore
Aquapolis was the expansion that introduced Crystal Pokémon to the TCG, and this Nidoking shows off that gimmick with its Crystal Type Poké-Body that lets it shift type when you attach certain basic Energy cards.
In-Game
This card gives Nidoking the unusual Colorless card type even though Nidoking is the original Generation I Drill Pokémon, a clever nod to Crystal cards breaking normal type expectations in a way that feels instantly memorable in a binder page.
Artist
Aquapolis #150 was illustrated by Hironobu Yoshida, a longtime Pokémon graphic designer who is also credited in broader franchise design work beyond the TCG, giving this secret rare an extra connection to Pokémon’s visual history.
Cultural Impact
Among e-Reader collectors, Crystal cards like this Nidoking are centerpieces of the Aquapolis era because the set’s secret rares helped define the mystique of late WotC Pokémon before Nintendo fully took over the TCG line.
