Nidoking Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
Base Set 2 gave Nidoking’s iconic early holo artwork a second life in the February 2000 reprint era, making this card a nostalgic bridge between the original Base Set boom and the next wave of Wizards of the Coast collecting.
Artist
This card is illustrated by Ken Sugimori, the original Pokémon character designer and one of Game Freak’s founders, which gives Nidoking the unmistakable classic Gen I look collectors instantly recognize.
In-Game
Nidoking is one of the original 151 Pokémon from Generation I, and this card’s Toxic attack echoes the signature status-heavy battle identity Nidoking carried in the early games, where it could learn Toxic as a TM in Red and Blue.
Card History
As a Stage 2 holo with 90 HP, Thrash, and Toxic, Nidoking felt like a true heavyweight of early Pokémon TCG design—big retreat cost and all—capturing the high-risk, high-reward style of the game’s earliest power cards.
Set Lore
Collectors love Base Set 2 because it remixed favorites from Base Set and the early expansions into one silver-bordered nostalgia set, and Nidoking stands out as one of its memorable holo rares.
