2023 Pokemon Company Obsidian Flames Special Illustration Rare Team Rocket's Nidoking ex #

Team Rocket's Nidoking ex is a fearsome Stage 2 Pokémon ex with a massive 330 HP, evolved from Team Rocket's Nidorino. This Special Illustration Rare (233/182) from Obsidian Flames showcases the powerful Poison-type titan alongside a Team Rocket commander in dramatic painted artwork by Uminori. In battle, Tainted Horn deals 100 damage and inflicts poisoning that escalates to 8 damage counters per Pokémon Checkup — a brutal stacking condition. Its signature Kingly Impact follows up with a devastating 240 damage. Both moves demand significant Water and Colorless energy investment, rewarding decks built around this towering boss Pokémon. As with all Pokémon ex, when it is Knocked Out, the opponent claims 2 Prize cards, raising the stakes of every matchup. A striking collector piece and a powerful competitive card in one.
