Trivia

Origin

Nidorino appears to be based on a rabbit or mouse.

Name origin

Nidorino's name may be based on the word needle. Alternatively, it may be based on 二 ni, two, or 二度 nido, two times/two degrees, referring to there being two distinct evolutionary lines using the name with similar names and traits. The rino in its name most likely alludes to its male gender- in many languages, such as Spanish, names and words ending in o are said to be masculine.
