It is said that Nidoking's tail is capable of toppling a metal transmission tower. Nidoking uses this tail smash, constrict, or break the bones of its prey and enemies. The tail can be swung to create distance between it and its foes before Nidoking charges. Its steel-like hide adds to its powerful, rampaging charges. Nidoking lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|grasslands}}, rough terrain, and forests. | It is said that Nidoking's tail is capable of toppling a metal transmission tower.

[[Gary Oak]] has a Nidoking that first appeared in ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]''. He called on it to battle [[Giovanni]]'s {{p|Golem}} during their Gym battle. Nidoking was shown to have tremendous power as he managed to {{m|Tackle}} Golem head on, launching it across the battlefield, and defeating it in one hit. However, when Giovanni used {{OBP|Mewtwo|original series}} to battle, Nidoking was no match, and was defeated handily. Gary's Nidoking was briefly seen again in ''[[EP077|The Fourth Round Rumble]]'' battling [[Melissa]]'s Golem, but much unlike his battle with Giovanni's Golem, he was defeated easily. | [[Gary Oak]] has a Nidoking that first appeared in ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]''.

Nidoking (Japanese: ニドキング Nidoking) is a dual-type Poison/Ground Pokémon.
It evolves from Nidorino when exposed to a Moon Stone. It is the final form of Nidoran♂.
It is related to Nidoran♀ and, through Ditto, can lay Eggs that contain either Nidoran♂ or Nidoran♀.
Biology
Nidoking is a large, bipedal, purple Pokémon with distinct reptilian features. It has small, narrow eyes, large, spiny ears, fur-like tufts on its cheeks, and a short snout filled with pointed teeth. There is a long, venomous horn on its forehead. It has a gray chest and belly plates, three claws on each hand, rounded spines on its elbows, and a single large nail on each foot. There is a ridge of long spines down its back, and it has a long, powerful tail. This is a male only species; the female counterpart is Nidoqueen.
It is said that Nidoking's tail is capable of toppling a metal transmission tower. Nidoking uses this tail to smash, constrict, or break the bones of its prey and enemies. The tail can be swung to create distance between it and its foes before Nidoking charges. Its steel-like hide adds to its powerful, rampaging charges. Nidoking lives in grasslands, rough terrain, and forests.

However, when Giovanni used Mewtwo to battle, Nidoking was no match, and was defeated handily.

Trivia
- Nidoking and its female counterpart Nidoqueen share their category name with Rhydon and Rhyperior. They are all known as the Drill Pokémon. Additionally, all four are partly Ground types.
- Although its female counterpart Nidoqueen cannot be bred, Nidoking can.
- Nidoqueen and Nidoking are the only Pokémon with a Poison/Ground type combination.
- Nidoking is a popular choice with anime rivals as both of Ash's main rivals (Gary and Paul) have one as well as Jimmy's main rival.
Origin
Nidoking shares traits of rhinoceroses, gorillas, rabbits and porcupines.
Name origin
Nidoking may be a combination of needle and king (reflective of its gender and being the final evolution). Nido may also be based on cnidocyte, a type of venomous cell responsible for the stings delivered by stinging animals, most notably by jellyfish. Alternatively, it may be based on 二 ni (two) or 二度 nido (two times/two degrees), referring to there being two distinct evolutionary lines using the name with similar names and traits.
