Every Nidorino card

The short version

Nidorino 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 Stage 1 Darkness-type Pokémon with 90 HP, weak to Fighting, with a retreat cost of 2. They run to two rarities — one Uncommon 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 Nidorino #227, from an expansion that shipped in July 2025. That printing attacks with Horn Attack, which costs one Darkness and one Colorless energy and hits for 40. The card’s own words: “With a horn that’s harder than diamond, this Pokémon goes around shattering boulders as it searches for a moon stone.” It has been drawn by two artists.
