What Is On This Card?

Evolves from: Nidorino

Poké-Power

Earth Rage

Once during your turn (before your attack), if Nidoking is your Active Pokémon, you may flip a coin. If heads, put a damage counter on each of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. This power can't be used if Nidoking is affected by a Special Condition.

Attack · 50+ damage

Giant Horn

Fighting + Fighting + Colorless + Colorless energy. Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 50 damage plus 30 more damage.

How To Research This Printing

Start with the image, Aquapolis set name, and H18 / 147 collector number. Those identifiers matter more than the character name alone because the Pokémon TCG can reuse names across reprints, promos, alternate artwork, and later expansions.

Next, match the finish and condition. A holofoil, reverse holofoil, unlimited, or first-edition listing may carry a different reference price even when it belongs to the same card printing. Grading adds another layer: raw marketplace references should not be treated as prices for PSA, Beckett, or CGC slabs.

Finally, compare the visible update date with current marketplace listings and recent sold results. MonZap gives you a fast catalog reference, set context, and scanner workflow, while the linked marketplaces help you check what is available right now.
