'''Nidorino''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ニドリーノ ''' ''Nidorino'') is a {{type|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].
 
It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Nidoran♂}} starting at [[level]] 16 and evolves into {{p|Nidoking}} when exposed to a [[Moon Stone]].


He [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Nidoran♂}} starting at [[level]] 16, and evolves into {{p|Nidoking}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Moon Stone}}.
It is related to the {{p|Nidoran♀}} line, serving as {{p|Nidorina}}'s male counterpart. Starting in [[Generation V]], it can produce {{pkmn|Egg}}s that contain either Nidoran♂ or Nidoran♀ when [[Pokémon breeding|bred]] with {{p|Ditto}}.


==Biology==
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Nidorino is a light-purple, quadrupedal {{wp|mammalian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has several darker purple patches across its body. It has large, spiny ears with teal insides, narrow black eyes, and a long snout with two pointed teeth protruding from the upper jaw. Nidorino has a ridge of toxic spines on its back and a long, pointed horn on its forehead. The horn is harder than a diamond and can secrete poison on impact. The more adrenaline Nidorino has in its body, the more potent the poison is. Its short legs have three claws on each foot. Nidorino is a male-only species.
Nidorino is larger than his {{p|Nidoran♂|pre-evolution}}. His forehead horn is larger, as well as his ears and the spines on his back. He has grown large fang teeth, and has three clawed toes instead of two, as was the case for its pre-evolution. He remains {{dl|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a quadruped body|quadruped}} though.


====Gender differences====
Nidorino is independent, nervous, and fierce, often described as violent and easily angered. It uses its ears to check its surroundings. If it senses a hostile presence, all the barbs on its back bristle up at once, and it challenges the foe with all its might. Nidorino's harder-than-diamond horn can destroy diamonds, and it uses that horn to destroy boulders in its search for [[Moon Stone]]s. Nidorino live in hot {{dl|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|savannas and plains}}.
Nidorino is the male of the species. For the female counterpart, see {{p|Nidorina}}.


===Special abilities===
===Evolution===
Capable of goring with his horn, Nidorino are much fiercer than Nidoran♂. Their long spines ooze poison on contact with foes. His horn is capable of piercing a diamond.
Nidorino evolves from {{p|Nidoran♂}} and evolves into {{p|Nidoking}}.


===Behavior===
(For specifics on this Pokémon's Evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data&rarr;Evolution data]].)
Nidorino is independent and are often fierce, being described as aggressive and violent.

===Origin===
===Origin===
Nidorino appears to be based on a {{wp|porcupine}}, {{wp|rabbit}}, {{wp|mouse}}, or even a {{wp|hamster}}, as seen by their aggressive and independent nature.
Nidorino appears to be based on {{wp|rabbit}}s, {{wp|rhinoceros}} and {{wp|porcupine}}s. It may also reference the mythical {{wp|Moon rabbit}} due to its rabbit like appearance and the fact that it reaches its final evolved form using a [[Moon Stone]].


====Name origin====
====Name origin====
Nidorino may be a combination of ''needle'' and ''{{wp|rhinoceros}}''. ''Nido'' may also be based on ''{{wp|cnidocyte}}'', a type of venomous cell responsible for the stings delivered by stinging animals, most notably by jellyfish. Alternatively, it may be based on 二 ''ni'' (two) or 二度 ''nido'' (two times/two degrees), referring to the two distinct evolutionary lines using the name with similar names and traits. ''Rino'' likely alludes to its male gender; in some languages, such as {{wp|Spanish language|Spanish}}, names and words ending in ''o'' are an indication to the male gender.
Nidorino may be a combination of ''needle'', ''{{wp|rhinoceros}}'', and ''-ino'' (masculine diminutive suffix in Spanish and Italian). It may also involve 二度 ''nido'' (twice).

Nidorino (Japanese: ニドリーノ Nidorino) is a Poison-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

It evolves from Nidoran♂ starting at level 16 and evolves into Nidoking when exposed to a Moon Stone.

It is related to the Nidoran♀ line, serving as Nidorina's male counterpart. Starting in Generation V, it can produce Eggs that contain either Nidoran♂ or Nidoran♀ when bred with Ditto.

Biology

Nidorino is a light-purple, quadrupedal mammalian Pokémon. It has several darker purple patches across its body. It has large, spiny ears with teal insides, narrow black eyes, and a long snout with two pointed teeth protruding from the upper jaw. Nidorino has a ridge of toxic spines on its back and a long, pointed horn on its forehead. The horn is harder than a diamond and can secrete poison on impact. The more adrenaline Nidorino has in its body, the more potent the poison is. Its short legs have three claws on each foot. Nidorino is a male-only species.

Nidorino is independent, nervous, and fierce, often described as violent and easily angered. It uses its ears to check its surroundings. If it senses a hostile presence, all the barbs on its back bristle up at once, and it challenges the foe with all its might. Nidorino's harder-than-diamond horn can destroy diamonds, and it uses that horn to destroy boulders in its search for Moon Stones. Nidorino live in hot savannas and plains.

Evolution

Nidorino evolves from Nidoran♂ and evolves into Nidoking.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's Evolution in the games, refer to Game data→Evolution data.)

Trivia

Origin

Nidorino appears to be based on rabbits, rhinoceros and porcupines. It may also reference the mythical Moon rabbit due to its rabbit like appearance and the fact that it reaches its final evolved form using a Moon Stone.

Name origin

Nidorino may be a combination of needle, rhinoceros, and -ino (masculine diminutive suffix in Spanish and Italian). It may also involve 二度 nido (twice).
