How to play the Nidoran♂ line

Nidoran♂'s line is the King, the boss-hunting half of the Nidoran pair. Its passive, Rivalry, gives +10% damage and +25% against elites, Alphas and bosses, and the challenge to join it is to defeat 6 Alpha Pokémon. The kit is Horn Attack, Thrash and Horn Drill (Normal) plus Earth Power (Ground). The Ultimate opens as Poison Horn, a 16 m charge; as Nidorino it becomes Driller, which finishes off enemies below 25% HP (not bosses); as Nidoking it is King Earthquake, three stomps that end in a Megahorn. The game’s code puts the evolutions at about level 24 and level 42. In a gameplay video from October 18, 2026, a player cleared the first map with it using a physical setup. Pick it if you want big targets to fall faster.
