Pokemon: Shiny vs. Default, 0029-0031

Man, remember when Pokemon having genders and sexual dimorphism made them count as two separate species? Man, Gen I was wild.

Anyway, today we’re covering Nidoran-F and its evolutions, one of those Pokemon that’s great for pretty much any team and a welcome addition to any run.

First up, Nidoran.

Okay, I love the Nidoran line’s shinies, for the most part, because they (mostly) switch colours between the two genders/lines. These are auto-generated shinies, so it’s pretty impressive that they managed to land on these colours. While I generally prefer that Nidoran-F is blue and Nidoran-M is pink (gotta break those gender roles), the shiny forms switching that up is such a good concept that I’m going to give the shiny the nod here. I prefer the originals, but this is such a good switch that I have to give it points.

Now for Nidorina.

Second verse, same as first, honestly. Helps that these pink shades are pretty good. I will say that I’m not wild about the green ears, but nonetheless, still giving the shiny points.

Finally, Nidoqueen.

God fucking damnit, we were so close. So close! All they had to do was make her Nidoking colours and instead we end up with one of the worst green shades and one of the worst pink shades, combined into this thing.

Default wins.

Default: 32

Shiny: 12

Draw: 3

Pokemon Card of the Day #2779: Giovanni’s Nidoran-F (Gym Challenge)

Giovanni’s Nidoran-F was a Pokemon you wouldn’t expect to be good. It did, however, have some decent power for its cheap attacks, and if anything around had a Grass Weakness it might have some potential. Sadly, peak Grass Weakness came after Double Colorless Energy rotated out. The other side of that was that there was a point that there was one dominant deck, and with that deck having the right Weakness people were going to try anything to deal with it. That included Giovanni’s Nidoran-F.

50 HP was nothing to write home about, especially on a Pokemon with an attack that had recoil. One attack lowered the HP to 30 which was enough to have it fall to almost anything. It did mean that the Psychic Weakness meant little, and the Retreat Cost was just 1 but Giovanni’s Nidoran-F would struggle to survive long enough to take advantage of it.

Horn Thrust needed a Grass Energy and had a coin flip. 20 damage was done with a heads flip and nothing was done on tails. This wasn’t the attack you’d normally be going for.

Double-Edge was surprisingly decent for 2 Colorless Energy. 30 damage was like a Scyther Slash for less Energy, but there was 20 recoil which made it even easier for a revenge KO. This attack was mostly worth something against Pokemon with a Grass Weakness. If trying it in Base-Gym or Prop 15/3, you had the benefit of Double Colorless Energy and PlusPower, letting you target the occasional Aerodactyl or Dark Gyarados.

In reality, this saw the most play in the early stages of the Rocket-On format. The issue here was that it took 2 turns to charge up, which made it telegraphed. Some Typhlosion/Blaine’s Arcanine decks still used this since it could KO a Totodile, with the goal being to get it out quickly before things started evolving. It was still doing half a Feraligatr’s health, at least.

GIovanni’s Nidoran-F had a short-lived niche as a way to try to give Fire decks a way to take down Totodile before they evolved. Modern players of the format don’t really use it due to the full Rocket-On format being more diverse (especially with the Slowking errata). It really only shined at a time with an extremely centralized game, and even then some tried other Pokemon like Erika’s Bellsprout. It’s at least interesting that a Pokemon like Nidoran-F could even get into some decks for a short period of time, especially since it was done as an attacker.

#029. Nidoran F

Its highly toxic barbs are thought to have developed as protection for this small-bodied Pokémon. When enraged, it releases a horrible toxin from its horn.

Colour and symbol charts can be found here.

A note on colours: in my experience, floss looks different irl than in online pattern makers. If you think a different colour will work better, go with your gut!

Headcanon: Shiny nidorans are trans nidorans

So like. The normal colored female evolutionary line for nidoran is blue right. And the male is purple. But the shines are swapped. The males are blue and the females are purple (up until nidoqueen, who’s green)

So shiny nidoran females are transfem, retaining their old color but changing in looks, and shiny nidoran males are transmasc, doing the same.

The hormone change is what makes nidoqueen end up green.

As such
