Nidorino/Nidoking is Underrated

For me, Nidorino is the most underrated Pokemon ever. He's actually a killing machine. Can learn a wide variety of TMs allowing him to have a variety of types. When faced against a Psychic or Ground foe, all we need is a really speed improves stat of a Nidorino so he can strike before the enemy does.

Nidoking, well he's the same really. Only that he becomes part ground and that means he'll shitbrix upon encountering a water. But then again, speed is the key to winning. Your thoughts?

I'm doing a Nidorino only run on Pokemon Blue. But I was playing on midnight, so sleepy that I idiotically evolved him to a Nidoking. Didn't really affect much but I prefer Nidorino than Nidoking. King looks awesome yeah, but I still prefer the little one.

There's a reason my pokemon on here is a Nidorino. I Cannot. *******. Stand. That Aggron got a Mega Evolution and Nidoroyals didn't. Nidoroyals deserved it so much more... I mean for gods sake, you gave kangaskhan one but not Nidobro?

Maybe there'll be more. Hopefully. I love Nidoking, he's on my top 10 for sure.

nidoking looks awesome, but the few times i got one, he couldnt keep up with the rest of the team

I agree. They should've gave it to Nidoking instead. A bigger and sharper claws and a really even more beast-king persona would be better for him.

Atlas, maybe you're not using him well. Or you evolved him too early. Never evolve a Nidorino until Lv. 50. But then again, Nidoking is just an option if you want your little fella to look more awesome. 'Cause type-wise Nidoking gains a set of weakness he'd commonly encounter: Water and Grass-types.

I'm actually a huge fan of Nidorina. Sure, she's not as pointy, but her huge movepool and big, red eyes get me every time. I seem to have a thing for red eyed Pokemon since Quilava and Nidorina are in my top ten XD

And on the topic of evolving it, you really shouldn't have to if you want it to stay Nidorino. Just EV train its attack and speed, which is tremensously easier in X and Y, and give it an Evolite to cover its defenses. Bam, instant powerhouse.

Hell yeah. Both the nidos are awesome, and they're the only gimmick pokemon that are actually appealing.

I never know what EV crap is about. Tell me more? Thanks. I'm playing Pokémon Blue. Thought I'd start playing the games all over again from the oldest to latest. Now that's something badass! <- Muh new catchphrase by the way...
