Nidorina

() is a -type Pokémon introduced in Generation I. She is the female counterpart of Nidorino.
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Nidorina is a rodent-like Pokémon with big ears, reminiscent of a rabbit. She has blue skin, with darker spots around the body. Her male counterpart is Nidorino. She has horns on her back.
===Behavior===
Like Nidoran♀, Nidorina tend to avoid confrontation but are fiercely defensive of their young.Like the rest of their relatives, they lives in burrows in open plains with their large family groups. These Pokémon are very affectionate with those in their tightly bonded family groups, and can easily become nervous or even upset when separated from them. When threatened, they will band together and screech loudly to bewilder predators with ultrasonic waves. To feed their young, they first chew food before spitting it out for their children to eat.
===Natural abilities===
Nidorina has the abilities Poison Point and Rivalry along with the hidden ability Hustle. Poison Point has a 30% chance of poisoning the opponent's Pokémon when it hits Nidorina with a Physical move while Rivalry deals more damage to the opponent when she is an opposite gender. Hustle lowers Nidorina's accuracy, but raises attack.
==Evolution==
Nidorina is the evolved form of a Nidoran♀ as of level 16. Nidorina evolves into Nidoqueen by use of a Moon Stone.

===Origin===
Nidorana is mostly based on small mammalian animals, mainly mice, rabbits, or porcupines. It may also be based on some venomous mammals, mainly the insectivore types.
===Etymology===
Nidorana may come from cnidocyte (a type of cell responsible for the venom in stinging animals), rhino, and the -a suffix, which is usually used at the end of female-denoting names in some languages. It may also derive from needle.
