National Pokédex #0030 · Generation 1

Nidorina

When Nidorina are with their friends or family, they keep their barbs tucked away to prevent hurting each other. This Pokémon appears to become nervous if separated from the others.

Before you throw a ball

Catching Nidorina

If you encounter a wild Nidorina, an ordinary throw outside battle requires your first non-fainted party Pokémon to be at least its level.

Party order matters: the game checks the first conscious Pokémon, not the highest level anywhere in your team.
With no conscious party Pokémon, this outside-battle rule allows only targets up to level 15.
A guaranteed-catch ball bypasses this ordinary level check. You can also battle a wild target and use a ball during your turn.

These rules describe wild encounters. Raids and scripted encounters may use their own capture flow. Read the catching guide and blocked-throw checklist · Checked 2026-10-16.

Base catch-rate value: 120. This is a species value, not a percentage or a promise that a particular ball will work.
