Pokédex descriptions

Shield

Nidoking prides itself on its strength. It’s forceful and spirited in battle, making use of its thick tail and diamond-crushing horn.

Sword

When it goes on a rampage, it’s impossible to control. But in the presence of a Nidoqueen it’s lived with for a long time, Nidoking calms down.

Lets Go Eevee

Its steel-like hide adds to its powerful tackle. Its horns are so hard, they can pierce a diamond.
