I agree if I get it that would be why they got better black peoples then 2K wish they could do better. Some games doing better

cool guy 2023-02-10 - 2:48 pm

but equake has a secondary effect. it can do double damage if the opponent uses dig? or does it have to be status

Anthony Greer 2023-02-10 - 2:50 pm

Poison Jab is goat

gary seevers 2023-02-10 - 2:52 pm

Earthquake has a secondary effect tho

Ok Dude 2023-02-10 - 2:57 pm

SleepyBoii 2023-02-10 - 3:44 pm

This dude kinda sounds like Truegreen7, ngl

JukesDTJ 2023-02-10 - 4:03 pm

Nidoking also just has a huge amount of coverage moves, like it's kind of ludicrous to be honest.

Prawlyy 2023-02-10 - 4:06 pm

I had no idea that Truegreen7 had a competitive channel!

Shye X 2023-02-10 - 4:08 pm

I would just give the TMs to King because he can. Lots of Gen 1 Pokemon can learn moves that would not make sense today.

Poison Jab
Earthquake
Smart Strike
Ice Beam

We had a discussion about this in my discord server… while Physical Nidoking isn't by any means a bad attacker, it even has options such as Sucker Punch on the physical side, it's just that extra 3-6% damage it does specially that puts it over the top…

Hayden Hill 2023-02-10 - 8:12 pm

I've always wondered how much a moves power dictates it's damage when used by either the Sp.Atk or Atk. How much damage is this Nidoking's Flamethrower going to do compared to another move?

The Mythos 2023-02-11 - 3:07 am

This is why you invest in it sp Attack and not physical attack

trevor forst 2023-02-11 - 4:38 am

Talk about snorlax

KNIGH7DRAGON3 2023-02-11 - 5:03 am

Yeah, but it's the fact that special sets are ubiquitous that make the physical sets so good. Nobody expects the physical nidoking. Poison jab, fire punch, ice punch and sucker punch

HOSE B 2023-02-11 - 7:28 am

I still run Physical Nidoking… Not that I don’t like Special Attacker Nido, but incase Chansey is on the opponent’s team

ForgottenNuts Yo 2023-02-11 - 7:39 am

Nidoking has and always will be my favorite pokemon.
Had one in pokemon Yellow, His name was Kaine.
Every game I can get a Nidoking by one means or another, I have a Kaine in my party.

homosexual fry 2023-02-11 - 8:33 am

You are rigths but you probably forgot to Say that nidoking sometimes runa mixed sets to beat special walls example superpower for blissey and many others

Arturo Leal Solano 2023-02-11 - 9:12 am

I run a physical attack Nidoking and no one ever expects it. Yes, boost your special defense you fools. That won't save you…

Dawid Głowacki 2023-02-11 - 10:47 am

cool guide

Thats Quazy 2023-02-11 - 11:50 am

I want nidoking to return 😪

Kurt Hagen 2023-02-11 - 1:11 pm

This fact is exactly why physical nidoking slaps. Everyone assumes you're running the little timmy bolt/beam set. And you can use this to punish their special walls, set up rocks, steal ko's with sucker punch, sheer force rockslide… etc.

My favorite Nidoking is adamant sheer force, max speed/attack and focus sash. With stealth rock, poison jab, earthquake, sucker punch. Sure you only get 1 sheer force move, but the mind games are worth.

Super Girl 2023-02-11 - 1:48 pm

Huh

Thundermikeee 2023-02-11 - 3:13 pm

couldn't one argue that earth quake is not necessarily stronger than earth power, because of their use cases? As in hitting steel/rock types (less so for electric and I am not sure about poison) on the special side tends to be better than on the physical side. obviously it depends on the mon, but generally rock and steel types tend to have big physical def stats.

Raijin of Limgrave 2023-02-11 - 3:44 pm

Does hitting Dig for 2x not count as a secondary effect

MJ 2023-02-11 - 4:41 pm

Wouldn’t that make Nidoqueen better?

5Cinco 2023-02-11 - 7:16 pm

Don't care, i use him physical XD

thePurple 2023-02-11 - 8:37 pm

Why doesn't life orb recoil happen in combination with sheer force boosts?
