Nidoking Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
This Illustration Rare gives Nidoking a uniquely flavorful battle gimmick: its Enthusiastic King Ability lets it attack for free if Nidoqueen is in play, turning the classic royal pair into one of Scarlet & Violet—151’s coolest lore-meets-gameplay nods.
Set Lore
Nidoking #174 sits in Scarlet & Violet—151, the special expansion built around all original 151 Kanto Pokémon, which is a huge reason this card hits longtime collectors with instant nostalgia.
In-Game
Nidoking has been a fan-favorite powerhouse since the original games, where Nidorino evolved into Nidoking with a Moon Stone, giving this card extra resonance in a set dedicated to Kanto’s first-generation icons.
Artist
This card is illustrated by Misaki Hashimoto, and Serebii’s artist index lists Nidoking from 151 as Hashimoto’s credited Pokémon TCG work, giving the card a distinctive one-artist spotlight feel.
Cultural Impact
Nidoking’s Pokédex identity has always leaned into brute-force majesty—its horn is described as powerful enough to crush diamonds—which makes the dramatic Illustration Rare treatment feel especially fitting for one of Kanto’s most iconic heavy hitters.
