Nidorino

poison

Nidorino has a horn that is harder than a diamond. If it senses a hostile presence, all the barbs on its back bristle up at once, and it challenges the foe with all its might.

Choose one location below and meet its conditions together. Separate cards are alternative routes. A rarity label describes a spawn pool, not the chance of finding one on each attempt.

Before you throw a ball

Catching Nidorino

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

  1. Party order matters: the game checks the first conscious Pokémon, not the highest level anywhere in your team.
  2. With no conscious party Pokémon, this outside-battle rule allows only targets up to level 15.
  3. 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 .

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