About Nidoking Nidoking is the final evolution of Nidoran♂️ and retains its dual typing as a Poison/Ground-type Pokémon known as the Drill Pokémon. This Pokémon is larger and more powerful than its pre-evolved forms, Nidoran♂️ and Nidorino. Nidoking is aggressive and territorial, using its powerful horn to bash through solid rock and to take on any challengers. Its Poison/Ground-type moves give it an advantage against Grass, Fairy, Poison, Rock, and Steel-type Pokémon, but it is weak against Water, Ice, Psychic, and Ground-type Pokémon.
Evolution Nidoking evolves from Nidorino when exposed to a Moon Stone. There is no further evolution beyond Nidoking.
Training and Experience Gain To strengthen Nidoking, focus on battles against Grass, Fairy, Poison, Rock, and Steel-type Pokémon to gain an advantage and increased experience points. Defeat wild Pokémon and participate in trainer battles to help Nidoking level up faster.
