Nidoking [1st Edition] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
Base Set Nidoking is one of the original holo rares from the very first main English Pokémon TCG expansion, giving this 1st Edition copy a direct link to the hobby’s January 9, 1999 launch era.
Artist
This card was illustrated by Ken Sugimori, the original Pokémon character designer, which gives it the unmistakable early-era artwork style collectors associate with the franchise’s roots.
Card History
Nidoking’s Toxic attack is a memorable Base Set mechanic because it upgrades Poison to deal 20 damage between turns instead of the usual 10, making it one of the nastier status effects in early play.
In-Game
Nidoking is a Generation I Pokémon that traces straight back to the original Red, Green, and Blue era, so its Base Set holo feels like a cardboard snapshot of Pokémon’s first wave of monsters.
Cultural Impact
Nidoking also carried anime nostalgia, appearing on Gary Oak’s team as one of his powerhouse fully evolved Pokémon, which helped cement its reputation as a classic Kanto bruiser.
