Description
The Nidorina reverse holo card #73 from the 2009 Pokémon Rising Rivals set offers collectors a distinct piece of TCG history. Designed by Ken Sugimori, this Stage 1 Psychic-type Pokémon features 80 HP and evolves from Nidoran ♀. Gameplay mechanics make this card particularly interesting for deck builders. Its Colorless Jump Tackle attack deals 30 damage but causes Nidorina to take 10 damage to itself, bypassing standard Weakness and Resistance calculations. Meanwhile, the Stress Poison attack deals 40 plus 20 additional damage for every damage counter on Nidorina, while also poisoning the opponent. This duality allows for strategic play that rewards careful resource management. For those completing the Rising Rivals set, this reverse holo variation provides the necessary foil treatment to finish the collection. The card remains a staple for players exploring Psychic-type strategies and collectors seeking to preserve the aesthetic of the 2009 era.
