In-Depth Analysis
With a base stat total of 365, Nidorino plays as a balanced Pokémon with a flexible stat spread. Its standout stat is Attack at 72, while Special Attack (55) is the clear soft spot — build sets that protect that weakness.
Defensively, the Poison combination gives Nidorino 5 resistances and 2 weaknesses to plan around. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. Offensively it pressures 2 types with super-effective STAB coverage.
A catch rate of 120 puts Nidorino in the moderate range — a few Great Balls usually get the job done. It levels on the Medium Slow experience curve. Defeating it grants Attack +2 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
