Nidoran ♂

Description

Released in 2016, the Pokémon Evolutions set pays homage to the original Kanto region by recreating the aesthetic of the earliest Pokémon Trading Card Game expansions. Within this collection, the Nidoran ♂ card, designated as number 43, serves as a fundamental Basic Pokémon for players and collectors alike. Illustrated by Ken Sugimori, this card represents the first stage of the Nidoran evolution line, capturing the creature's distinctive design from the franchise's inception. In gameplay, Nidoran ♂ is a Psychic-type Basic Pokémon with 60 HP and a retreat cost of 1. Its primary attack, Psychic Double Stab, requires the player to flip two coins; the attack deals 10 damage for each heads result, offering a variable damage output that encourages strategic deck building. This mechanic highlights the simple yet engaging design philosophy of the original era that Evolutions seeks to celebrate. For collectors, this product is a vital piece for completing the Evolutions base set. Whether you are building a complete collection of the Evolutions series or adding a nostalgic staple to your portfolio, this card offers a tangible connection to the roots of the Pokémon universe.
