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

Pokédex entries

Pokémon Emerald

Its horn is harder than a diamond. 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.

Pokémon FireRed

It is easily angered. By swinging its well-developed horn wildly, it can even punch through diamond.

Name origin

Nidorino's name may be based on the word needle. 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. The rino in its name most likely alludes to its male gender- in many languages, such as Spanish, names and words ending in o are said to be masculine.

Nidorino appears to be based on a rabbit or mouse.
