In the manga
In the Pokémon Adventures manga
Nidorino debuted in the first round of the Red, Green & Blue arc, A Glimpse of the Glow, where Red caught it to show to the Pallet Town children how to catch a Pokémon.
Much later, at the beginning of the FireRed & LeafGreen arc, another Nidorino appears in the wild, against whom Red urges a child to take the Gengar on his belt and fight it to weaken it. This again references the opening sequence of the Generation I remakes Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.

Trivia
- Nidorino is one of the first two Pokémon to appear in a Pokémon battle both in the anime and in the games. The other is Gengar. This is due to their appearance in the opening animation of Pokémon Red and Green, on which the beginning of the first anime episode was based on, as well as the remakes.
- It is also the first Pokémon to be both seen and captured in Pokémon Adventures, in much the same way.
- Nidorino, along with Gengar (and, possibly, other Pokémon), originate from the old manga, Capsule Monsters, which is considered the ancestor to the Pokémon franchise.
- The Nidorino that appears in Professor Oak's introduction in Pokémon Red and Blue has the cry of a Nidorina.
- Nidorino's Shiny coloration is the same as Nidorina's normal coloration. Likewise, Nidorina's Shiny coloration matches Nidorino's normal coloration.
Origin
Nidorino appears to be based on a porcupine, rabbit, mouse, or even a hamster, as seen by their aggressive and independent nature.
Name origin
Nidorino may be a combination of needle and rhinoceros. Nido may also be based on 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 Spanish, names and words ending in o are an indication to the male gender.
