PSA 10 $30,727
Moderate data
Nidoking rears up in a snarling side profile, purple hide and white spikes set against a dark, sparkling cosmos holo, with the whole card glossed in the reverse foil finish typical of the e-Card era. It is one of the Crystal Type secret rares from Aquapolis, a hard-to-find chase subset, and the colorless type plus that starry background make it a favorite for fans of the classic Kanto bruiser. Art by Hironobu Yoshida.

$250
Ungraded
PSA 10 $12,000
Moderate data
Nidoking crouches low and lunges forward in this Aquapolis holo, its horned head pushed toward the viewer and spiky back rising against a sparkling holofoil night sky, with a fiery orange slope at the left. Art by Naoyo Kimura gives the poison drill Pokémon real weight and menace. E-Card holos are scarce and the brittle, edge-sensitive card stock makes clean copies of this Rare Holo hard to find.

PSA 10 $3,250
Moderate data
Giovanni's Nidoking fills nearly the whole frame, a purple close-up of the Drill Pokémon leaning forward with its horn jutting toward you over a sparkling holo field. Art by Ken Sugimori gives it that clean, classic look of the early sets. As a Rare Holo tied to Team Rocket's boss in Gym Challenge, it draws fans of Giovanni, Nidoking, and the Gym series alike.

Nidoking stands with arms crossed beside a huge cracked boulder, glaring sideways against a dark sky filled with the sparkly cosmos holo pattern this era is known for. Art by Hisao Nakamura gives it a heavy, grounded presence with rocky cliffs behind. Collectors chase it as a Kanto favorite from the FireRed & LeafGreen holo lineup, where the starry foil makes the purple stand out.

Strong data
Team Rocket's Nidoking ex charges straight at you through shattered rock, mouth open and horn lowered, while Giovanni stands behind it in a dark suit with one hand extended like he's giving the order. Art by Uninori uses a sketchy, hand-colored look with debris flying everywhere. As a Special Illustration Rare from Destined Rivals, it pairs a classic Kanto favorite with the boss himself, which Team Rocket fans love.

Strong data
Nidoking δ stands squat and heavy at the mouth of a rocky cave, recolored in the deep red and violet of the Delta Species line, with a hazy golden sky glowing behind it. Art by Mitsuhiro Arita gives the scene a soft, painterly warmth. Collectors chase it as a holo from Dragon Frontiers, one of the most loved EX-era sets, and for the odd charm of a Darkness-type Nidoking.

PSA 10 $1,770
Moderate data
Nidoking stands in a squat, side-on pose against a swirling holofoil burst, its purple hide shaded in the clean, flat style of the original game art by Ken Sugimori. The spiked back, curled tail and sneering grin give it plenty of attitude. As one of the original Base Set holos, it sits in a run that many collectors chase as a complete group, and fans of the Nido line prize it in its own right.

PSA 10 $10,088
Moderate data
Nidoking crouches in a heavy, hunched pose with its fangs bared and claws raised, drawn in the clean, flat style of Ken Sugimori's original artwork against a sparkling holo starburst. This Base Set 2 reprint carries the same art as the Jungle-era original, so collectors chasing classic Wizards holos often grab it as an alternate version of a favorite Kanto bruiser.

Nidoking stands on a mossy log in a sunlit jungle, drawn in a soft, painterly style with hanging vines, broad leaves and hazy light filtering through the canopy. Art by Misaki Hashimoto, this Illustration Rare from the 151 set gives a classic original Pokémon a calm, storybook setting, and fans of the Nidoran line often chase it alongside its Nidoqueen counterpart.
