Nidorina (Japanese: ニドリーナ, Hepburn: Nidoriina) (NEE-doe-REE-na) is a Poison-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I. She is the female counterpart of Nidorino.

Biology

Physiology

Nidorina is a rodent-like Pokémon with big ears, reminiscent of a rabbit. She has blue skin, with darker spots around the body. Her male counterpart is Nidorino. She has horns on her back.

Behavior

Like Nidoran♀, Nidorina tend to avoid confrontation but are fiercely defensive of their young.Like the rest of their relatives, they lives in burrows in open plains with their large family groups. These Pokémon are very affectionate with those in their tightly bonded family groups, and can easily become nervous or even upset when separated from them. When threatened, they will band together and screech loudly to bewilder predators with ultrasonic waves. To feed their young, they first chew food before spitting it out for their children to eat.

Natural abilities

Nidorina has the abilities Poison Point and Rivalry along with the hidden ability Hustle. Poison Point has a 30% chance of poisoning the opponent's Pokémon when it hits Nidorina with a Physical move while Rivalry deals more damage to the opponent when she is an opposite gender. Hustle lowers Nidorina's accuracy, but raises attack.

Evolution

Nidorina is the evolved form of a Nidoran♀ as of level 16. Nidorina evolves into Nidoqueen by use of a Moon Stone.

Appearances

Anime

Emily had a Nidoran♀ that evolved into a Nidorina in Wherefore Art Thou, Pokémon?. A ton of Nidorina were found in TB033: The Flame Pokémon-athon!. Whitney used a Nidorina to battle Ash's Cyndaquil. Two different Nidorina made an appearance in RS122: Hi Ho Silver Wind! and the opening of the MS013: Pokémon—Zoroark: Master of Illusions respectively.

• Whitney's Nidorina
• Maria (Pokémon)
• Temacu's Nidorina

Trivia

• Despite being a gender-exclusive Pokémon, Nidorina, nor Nidoqueen can breed, but Nidorina's pre-evolution, Nidoran♀, can.
• Nidorina's shiny sprite resembles the coloration of Nidorino.

Origin

Nidorana is mostly based on small mammalian animals, mainly mice, rabbits, or porcupines. It may also be based on some venomous mammals, mainly the insectivore types.

Etymology

Nidorana may come from cnidocyte (a type of cell responsible for the venom in stinging animals), rhino, and the -a suffix, which is usually used at the end of female-denoting names in some languages. It may also derive from needle.
