07Why Collectors Want It
- Released in 2009's Rising Rivals, the DP-era Platinum-block set that introduced character-themed Pokémon prints across the dex.
- A clean middle-evolution Nidorina print from the DP era, distributed widely through sealed product.
- Raw asking sits below $1; the headline Rising Rivals grails are the LV.X cards and character-themed chases, not the base mid-evolutions.
- A foundational entry for any DP-era Nidoqueen-line collection.
08Competitive Playability
Tier: None
Stage 1 Nidorina with 80 HP; top attack around 40 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.
09Card Moves and Abilities
Jump Tackle
Nidorina does 10 damage to itself, and don't apply Weakness and Resistance to this damage.
Stress Poison
If Nidorina has any damage counters on it, this attack does 40 damage plus 20 more damage and the Defending Pokémon is now Poisoned.

10Grading and Population
PSA 10 estimate: Modern Common/Uncommon — most copies are not graded because raw value rarely justifies the fee.
Graded populations stay low; usually collected raw or sleeved rather than slabbed.
Other graders: Negligible BGS/CGC submission volume.
