Giovanni's Nidoking stands in a powerful pose, its muscular frame and sharp features creating an imposing presence. The background hints at a vibrant world filled with challenges, enhancing the sense of adventure. Its determined expression suggests readiness to protect its trainer or confront any foe. This scene captures a moment of strength and resolve in the life of this iconic Pokémon.
If the Defending Pokémon's maximum HP is 50 or less, it can't attack Giovanni's Nidoking during your opponent's next turn. (Benching or evolving either Pokémon ends this effect.)
Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 40 damage plus 30 more damage; if tails, this attack does 40 damage.
