Nidorina

Description

Evolving from Nidoran ♀, this card brings a classic evolution line into the modern trading card game format, appealing to fans of the original series and collectors of the Black & White era. The card was illustrated by Atsuko Nishida, whose artwork remains a staple for many Pokémon enthusiasts. From a gameplay perspective, Nidorina offers strategic flexibility with 90 HP and access to two distinct moves. The Poison Sting attack deals 20 damage and applies a poison status effect, making it a useful tool for gradual damage over time. Alternatively, the Double Kick attack allows players to flip two coins, dealing 40 damage for each head flipped. This variance makes the card a dynamic choice for building decks that rely on risk and reward mechanics. The card also has a retreat cost of 3, which collectors should consider when evaluating its utility in competitive play. Collectors often seek out cards from the Plasma Freeze set due to its distinct design language and the nostalgic value of the Pokémon featured within. Nidorina #41 stands out as a reliable piece for completing set collections, with its Uncommon rarity making it accessible yet desirable for serious hobbyists. The card’s evolution line connects to the broader Pokémon lore, adding depth for those who appreciate the storytelling aspect of the franchise. Whether you are building a nostalgic deck or simply adding to your catalog, this card represents a solid addition to any Pokémon TCG collection.
