Item Description

Purple, horned and built like a battering ram, Nidoking was one of the heavy hitters of Base Set when the Pokémon Trading Card Game reached English-speaking players in 1999. Card 011/102 is among the set's sixteen holo rares, and Ken Sugimori's art puts the hulking Pokémon front and center against the shimmering holofoil that made pulling a holo from a Base Set booster feel like an event.

As the Stage 2 evolution of Nidorino, Nidoking carries 90 HP and two attacks with real personality. Thrash hits for 30 and flips a coin: heads adds 10 more damage, tails makes Nidoking hit itself for 10. Toxic Poisons the Defending Pokémon and doubles the usual Poison damage to 20 after each player's turn. Like other early Poison Pokémon, he was printed as a Grass type, a quirk that instantly marks the card as part of the hobby's first wave.

This is the Base Set printing, collector number 011/102, illustrated by Ken Sugimori, in holofoil, and its Pokédex entry describes the powerful tail Nidoking uses to overwhelm its prey.
