Every Nidoran♂ (male) card

The short version

Nidoran♂ (male) has two printings in Pokémon TCG Pocket, across two expansions — the earliest in Genetic Apex and the most recent in Wisdom of Sea and Sky. It is a Basic Darkness-type Pokémon with 60 HP, weak to Fighting, with a retreat cost of 1. They run to two rarities — one Common and one Shiny. The hardest to pull is the Shiny from Wisdom of Sea and Sky, at about 1 in 559 packs, or 1,000 Pack Points to buy outright. Nine hunts in ten end inside 1,285 packs, which is about 1.8 years at the two free packs a day the game gives you. The printings come out of the Ho-Oh and Pikachu packs. The most recent is Nidoran♂ #226, from an expansion that shipped in July 2025. That printing attacks with Peck, which costs one Darkness energy and hits for 20. The card’s own words: “The horn on a male Nidoran’s forehead contains a powerful poison. This is a very cautious Pokémon, always straining its large ears.” It has been drawn by two artists.
