Nidorino (Japanese: ニドリーノ Nidorino) is a Poison-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.
It evolves from Nidoran♂ starting at level 16 and evolves into Nidoking when exposed to a Moon Stone.
It is related to the Nidoran♀ line, serving as Nidorina's male counterpart. Starting in Generation V, it can produce Eggs that contain either Nidoran♂ or Nidoran♀ when bred with Ditto.
Biology
Nidorino is a light-purple, quadrupedal mammalian Pokémon. It has several darker purple patches 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. Nidorino 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. The more adrenaline Nidorino has in its body, the more potent the poison is. Its short legs have three claws on each foot. Nidorino is a male-only species.
Nidorino is independent, nervous, and fierce, and it is 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's harder-than-diamond horn can destroy diamonds, and it uses that horn to destroy boulders in its search for Moon Stones. Nidorino live in hot savannas and plains.
Evolution
Nidorino evolves from Nidoran♂ and evolves into Nidoking.

In the TCG
- Main article: Nidorino (TCG)
Trivia
- Nidorino is one of the first two Pokémon to appear in a Pokémon battle both in Pokémon the Series and in the games, the other being Gengar. This is due to their appearance in the opening animation of Pokémon Red and Green (as well as their remakes, Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen), on which the beginning of the first Pokémon the Series episode was based on.
- It is also the first Pokémon to be both seen and captured in Pokémon Adventures, in much the same way.
- Nidorino, along with Gengar (and possibly other Pokémon), originate from the Capsule Monsters game design pitch, which would eventually become the Pokémon series.
- The Nidorino that appears in Professor Oak's introduction in Pokémon Red and Blue has the cry of a Nidorina.
- Nidorino's Shiny coloration is the same as Nidorina's normal coloration. Likewise, Nidorina's Shiny coloration matches Nidorino's normal coloration.
- Nidorino shares its category with Nidoran♂, Nidoran♀, Nidorina, Poipole, and Naganadel. They are all known as the Poison Pin Pokémon.
Origin
Nidorino appears to be based on rabbits, rhinoceros and porcupines. 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
Nidorino may be a combination of needle, rhinoceros, and -ino (masculine diminutive suffix in Spanish and Italian). It may also involve 二度 nido (twice). It may be related to nidor, a strong, unpleasant smell.
