The short version
Nidoking is a Stage 2 Darkness-type Pokémon with 150 HP, weak to Fighting and a retreat cost of 3. It is card 228 of 241 in Wisdom of Sea and Sky, printed at Shiny, and it turns up in the Ho-Oh pack. It evolves from Nidorino. 10 cards in the expansion are rarer than this one. Opening for it means about 1,285 packs to be reasonably sure of one, which at 2 free packs a day is 1.8 years. The art is by Souichirou Gunjima, who has 93 other cards in the game.
When it goes on a rampage, it’s impossible to control. But in the presence of a Nidoqueen it’s lived with for a long time, Nidoking calms down.
