With a base stat total of 365, Nidorina plays as a balanced Pokémon with a flexible stat spread. Its standout stat is HP at 70, while Special Attack (55) is the clear soft spot — build sets that protect that weakness.
Its Poison typing leaves Nidorina with 2 weaknesses against 5 resistances. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. On offense, its STAB moves threaten 2 types for super-effective damage.
A catch rate of 120 puts Nidorina in the moderate range — a few Great Balls usually get the job done. It levels on the Medium Slow experience curve. Defeating it grants HP +2 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
