'''Nidorina''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ニドリーナ ''' ''Nidorina'') is a {{type|Poison}} Pokémon.
'''Nidorina''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ニドリーナ ''' ''Nidorina'') is a {{type|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].
 
It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Nidoran♀}} starting at [[level]] 16 and evolves into {{p|Nidoqueen}} when exposed to a [[Moon Stone]].


She [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Nidoran♀}} starting at [[level]] 16, and evolves into {{p|Nidoqueen}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Moon Stone}}.
It is related to the {{p|Nidoran♂}} line, but unlike Nidoran♀, Nidorina cannot breed.


==Biology==
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Nidorina is a quadrupedal, sky-blue {{wp|mammalian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with dark-blue patches. It has red eyes, large, spiny ears, and has two pointed teeth protruding from its upper jaw. It possesses large poison spikes, which it retracts whenever it is with a group, feeding its children,  or while resting in its burrow. Its paws have three claws each, and it is able to stand on its hind legs. The hind legs are longer and thicker than its forelegs. It has a stubby tail. Nidorina is a female-only species.
Nidorina is comparatively larger than her {{p|Nidoran ♀|pre-evolution}}, though she loses the forehead horn, whiskers, and incisor teeth. She remains {{dl|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a quadruped body|quadruped}}. Nidorina is also turquoise in coloration instead of bluish lavender, with a pale underside. Nidorina's poison spikes are larger and probably more potent; she has also gained the ability to stand on her hind legs.  


====Gender differences====
Nidorina is a gentle Pokémon, and it is known to be a caring mother that chews food for its young. It seems to display close family bonds with others of its kind, and becomes nervous when separated. Nidorina prefers not to fight since its horn grows slowly, but if forced or enraged, it prefers physical attacks such as clawing and biting. Nidorina prefers to chew its food into a paste before spitting it out and feeding its children. It also emits ultrasonic cries to befuddle foes. Nidorina live in burrows at hot {{dl|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|savannas and plains}}.
Nidorina is the female equivalent of {{p|Nidorino}}. This is shown even in her name, which ends in ''a'' as opposed to ''o'' in ''Nidorino''. ''A'' is traditionally a feminine vowel in the English language, particularly at the ends of names.


Nidorina seems to be more docile and relaxed than her counterpart Nidorino.
===Evolution===
Nidorina evolves from {{p|Nidoran♀}} and evolves into {{p|Nidoqueen}}.


===Special abilities===
(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data&rarr;Evolution data]].)
Nidorina's abilities are stronger than Nidoran♀'s, but are otherwise the same.

{{Evobox-3
===Behavior===
|type1=Poison
Nidorina is a gentle Pokémon like her pre-evolution, Nidoran♀. She is a caring mother, chewing food for her young. Although she would rather not attack at all, she prefers attacks like clawing and biting. She seems to display close family bonds with others of her own kind, and becomes nervous when separated. However, when angered, a Nidorina can become a formidable foe.

==Trivia==
* Despite being a non-legendary, gendered species, Nidorina and her evolution Nidoqueen are unable to breed.
* Nidorina and Nidoqueen's inability to lay Eggs was established by Japanese media before breeding became a game mechanic.<ref>[[Pocket Monsters Encyclopedia]]: 「ニドラン♀の進化形だが、ニドリーナになると、卵を産む能力はなくなる。」 (''"It is the evolved form of Nidoran♀, but upon becoming Nidorina, has lost the ability to lay Eggs."'')</ref><ref>ポケットモンスター公式ファンブック ''Official Fan Book of Pocket Monsters'': 「ニドラン♀の進化形だが、卵は産めない。」 (''"It is the evolved form of Nidoran♀, but it cannot lay Eggs."'')</ref>
** However, her pre-evolution Nidoran♀ can breed.
** Despite this, however, several of Nidorina's Pokédex entries imply it's still capable of childrearing.
* Nidorina's Shiny coloration is similar to {{p|Nidorino}}'s regular coloration.
* Nidorina and Nidoqueen are the only two Pokémon that cannot breed even though their unevolved form can breed.
* Nidorina's {{v2|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} Sugimori artwork has the exact same pose as its original [[Generation I]] artwork. It shares this trait with {{p|Furret}} and {{p|Heracross}}, whose artwork was in the same pose in both their original [[Generation II]] and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, respectively, art.
* Nidorina's Shiny coloration is similar to Nidorino's regular coloration and vice versa.
* Nidorina shares its {{pkmn|category}} name with Nidoran♀, {{p|Nidoran♂}}, Nidorino, {{p|Poipole}}, and {{p|Naganadel}}. They are all known as the Poison Pin Pokémon.


===Origin===
===Origin===
Nidorina appears to be based on a {{wp|porcupine}} or a {{wp|rabbit}}, {{wp|mouse}}, or even a {{wp|hamster}}.
Nidorina appears to draw inspiration from {{wp|rabbit}}s, {{wp|porcupine}}s and {{wp|rhinoceros|rhino}}s, with aspects of {{wp|venomous mammal}}s. It may also reference the mythical {{wp|Moon rabbit}} due to its rabbit like appearance and the fact that it reaches its final evolved form using a [[Moon Stone]].


====Name origin====
====Name origin====
Nidorina may be a combination of ''needle'' and ''{{wp|rhinoceros}}''. ''Nido'' may also be based on ''{{wp|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 the two distinct evolutionary lines using the name with similar names and traits. ''Rina'' likely alludes to its female gender; in some languages, such as {{wp|Spanish language|Spanish}} and {{wp|Italian language|Italian}}, names and words ending in ''a'' are an indication to the female gender.
Nidorina may be a combination of ''needle'', ''{{wp|rhinoceros}}'', and ''-ina'' (feminine diminutive suffix in Spanish and Italian). It may also involve 二度 ''nido'' (twice). It may be derived from ''nidor'', a pungent, unpleasant smell.

Nidorina (Japanese: ニドリーナ Nidorina) is a Poison-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

It evolves from Nidoran♀ starting at level 16 and evolves into Nidoqueen when exposed to a Moon Stone.

It is related to the Nidoran♂ line, but unlike Nidoran♀, Nidorina cannot breed.

Biology

Nidorina is a quadrupedal, sky-blue mammalian Pokémon with dark-blue patches. It has red eyes, large, spiny ears, and has two pointed teeth protruding from its upper jaw. It possesses large poison spikes, which it retracts whenever it is with a group, feeding its children, or while resting in its burrow. Its paws have three claws each, and it is able to stand on its hind legs. The hind legs are longer and thicker than its forelegs. It has a stubby tail. Nidorina is a female-only species.

Nidorina is a gentle Pokémon, and it is known to be a caring mother that chews food for its young. It seems to display close family bonds with others of its kind, and becomes nervous when separated. Nidorina prefers not to fight since its horn grows slowly, but if forced or enraged, it prefers physical attacks such as clawing and biting. Nidorina prefers to chew its food into a paste before spitting it out and feeding its children. It also emits ultrasonic cries to befuddle foes. Nidorina live in burrows at hot savannas and plains.

Evolution

Nidorina evolves from Nidoran♀ and evolves into Nidoqueen.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to Game data→Evolution data.)

Trivia

  • Nidorina and Nidoqueen's inability to lay Eggs was established by Japanese media before breeding became a game mechanic.[1][2]
    • Despite this, however, several of Nidorina's Pokédex entries imply it's still capable of childrearing.
  • Nidorina and Nidoqueen are the only two Pokémon that cannot breed even though their unevolved form can breed.
  • Nidorina's Shiny coloration is similar to Nidorino's regular coloration and vice versa.
  • Nidorina shares its category name with Nidoran♀, Nidoran♂, Nidorino, Poipole, and Naganadel. They are all known as the Poison Pin Pokémon.

Origin

Nidorina appears to draw inspiration from rabbits, porcupines and rhinos, with aspects of venomous mammals. It may also reference the mythical Moon rabbit due to its rabbit like appearance and the fact that it reaches its final evolved form using a Moon Stone.

Name origin

Nidorina may be a combination of needle, rhinoceros, and -ina (feminine diminutive suffix in Spanish and Italian). It may also involve 二度 nido (twice). It may be derived from nidor, a pungent, unpleasant smell.
