Nidorino evolves from the male Nidoran at Level 16. It is an aggressive Pokémon that is quick to attack. Like the other members of the Nido-family, its horn contains a powerful venom. Nidorino's horn might be the most powerful of the family (barring its evolution), as the horn is said to be harder than diamond. When it punctures the enemy with the horn, it pumps venom into the wound, and the impact makes the poison leak out. Like its pre-evolved form, it is also distinguished by its large horns, which it uses to check its surroundings. The bristles on Nidorino's back rise, and they attack immediately with their horns upon detecting an enemy.
 
 
 
Nidorino evolves into its final form, [[Nidoking]], when exposed to a [[Moon Stone]].

*In the Pokémon anime, the very first scene was a televised battle of a Nidorino fighting a [[Gengar]], making it the first Pokémon to appear in the anime. An episode later in the Kanto series about two Nidoran in love ended with the two Pokémon evolving into Nidorino and Nidorina. Aside from that, Nidorino have mostly made minor appearances throughout the series.
 
*In the Pokémon Adventures manga, Nidorino was shown in the first chapter where [[Red]] caught one to demonstrate to some children how to catch a Pokémon, but he was never shown using it afterwards. During the ''FireRed''/''LeafGreen'' chapter, Red advised a young trainer to use a Gengar against a wild Nidorino in another reference to the ''Red''/''Blue'' opening sequence.
 
 
 
=Trivia-
 
 
 
*Nidorino's name is possibly a combination of "needle" and "rhinoceros". Its name could also refer to "ni", Japanese for "two" in reference to the two  separate genders and evolution paths of Nidoran. Its name ending in an "o" is reflective of its gender due to the Spanish custom of ending names of male nouns with an "o".
 
*The opening sequence of ''Red'', ''Green'' and ''Blue'' shows a Nidorino in battle with [[Gengar]], a scene referenced in the various adaptations. This makes Nidorino the first Pokémon to technically appear within the games.
 
*Unlike its female counterpart [[Nidorina]] or that one's evolved form [[Nidoqueen]], Nidorino and Nidoking can be bred with other Pokémon,
