Nidoking (Japanese: ニドキング Nidoking) is a dual-type Poison- and Ground-Type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

It evolves from Nidorino when exposed to a Moon Stone. It is the final form of Nidoran♂.

It is related to Nidoran♀ and, starting in Generation V, can produce Eggs that contain either Nidoran♂or Nidoran♀ when bred with Ditto.
