Nidorino (Japanese: ニドリーノ Nidorino) is a Poison-type Pokémon.

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

It is related to Nidoran♀ and, through Ditto, can lay Eggs that contain either Nidoran♂ or Nidoran♀.

Biology

Nidorino is a light purple, quadruped Pokémon. It has several darker purple spots across its body. It has large, spiny ears with teal insides, narrow black eyes, and a long snout with two pointed teeth protruding from the upper jaw. It has a ridge of toxic spines on its back, and a long, pointed horn on its forehead. The horn is harder than a diamond and capable of secreting poison on impact. Its short legs have three claws on each foot. This is a male only species; the female counterpart is Nidorina.

Nidorino is independent and fierce, often described as violent and easily angered. It uses its ears to check its surroundings. If it senses a hostile presence, all the barbs on its back bristle up at once, and it challenges the foe with all its might. Nidorino live in hot savannas and plains.

Trivia

Origin

Nidorino appears to be based on a rhinoceros, porcupine, rabbit, mouse, or even a hamster, as seen by their aggressive and independent nature.

Name origin

Nidorino may be a combination of needle and rhinoceros. 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 the two distinct evolutionary lines using the name with similar names and traits. Rino likely alludes to its male gender; in some languages, such as Spanish, names and words ending in o are an indication to the male gender.

In other languages

Language Title Meaning
Japan Flag.png Japanese ニドリーノ Nidorino Possibly from "needle", plus masculine ending -o
France Flag.png French Nidorino Same as English/Japanese name
Spain Flag.png Spanish Nidorino Same as English/Japanese name
Germany Flag.png German Nidorino Same as English/Japanese name
Italy Flag.png Italian Nidorino Same as English/Japanese name
South Korea Flag.png Korean 니드리노 Nidorino Transliteration of Japanese name
China and Taiwan Flags.png Mandarin Chinese 尼多力諾 / 尼多力诺 Níduōlìnuò Transliteration of Japanese name. 力 means power, strength
Hong Kong Flag.png Cantonese Chinese 尼多利 Nèihdōleih Partial transliteration of Japanese name
