07Why Collectors Want It

  • Released in 2002's Legendary Collection, the WotC-era set that introduced the reverse-holo parallel mechanic.
  • Reverse-holo raw ~$81 — Legendary Collection mirror-foil surface scarcity drives the lift.
  • Mirror-foil surfaces scratch easily; gem-mint copies require legitimately clean pulls.
  • A natural pickup for any vintage Nidoking-line collector building toward a complete LC run.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Stage 1 Nidorino with 60 HP; top attack around 50 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Double Kick Cost: Grass + Colorless + Colorless · 30× damage

Flip 2 coins. This attack does 30 damage times the number of heads.

Horn Drill Cost: Grass + Grass + Colorless + Colorless · 50 damage

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: Reverse-holo verified ~$81 raw (PriceCharting realized, May 2026).

Reverse-holo surfaces scratch and whiten readily, and few were graded, so the gem-mint population is small.

Other graders: PSA leads resale on reverse-holo sleepers; BGS and CGC copies trade beneath an equivalent PSA 10.
