Nidoking Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
Nidoking is one of the original 16 holofoils in the 102-card Base Set, giving this card a place in the very first wave of Pokémon TCG chase cards that defined the hobby in the U.S.
Artist
This holo uses artwork credited to Ken Sugimori, the original Pokémon character designer, which gives the card an especially direct link to the franchise’s earliest visual identity.
In-Game
Nidoking’s appeal in the Game Boy era came from its Moon Stone evolution, letting players turn Nidorino into a fully evolved powerhouse unusually early in Pokémon Red and Blue.
Card History
Base Set Nidoking is a fascinating early TCG oddity because the card is printed as Grass-type even though Base Set also lists Nidoking among its Psychic holofoils by element, a reminder of how experimental Pokémon’s first card set could be.
Set Lore
This exact Base Set Nidoking was important enough to be brought back in later nostalgia-driven releases, including Base Set 2 and the long-running lineage of Base Set callbacks documented for the set.
