Nidorino [1st Edition] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
Base Set Nidorino is a memorable early-game translation to cardboard because its attacks, Double Kick and Horn Drill, are both moves Nidorino can learn in the video games.
Artist
This card was illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, one of the original defining artists of the Pokémon TCG, who has been contributing artwork since the game’s inception.
Set Lore
As card #37/102 from the original English Base Set, this 1st Edition Nidorino comes from the release that helped ignite the 1999 Pokémon card boom in the West.
In-Game
For many longtime fans, Nidorino feels iconic beyond its rarity because a Nidorino was one of the very first Pokémon seen battling in the opening of Pokémon Red and Blue.
Card History
Collectors also love that this Base Set artwork preserves Nidorino’s original Pokédex personality, calling it aggressive and warning that the horn on its head secretes powerful venom.
