Female Only nee-door-EE-nuh The female's horn develops slowly. Prefers physical attacks such as clawing, and biting. When resting deep in its burrow, its thorns always retract. This is proof that it is relaxed. When feeding its young, it first chews, and tenderizes the food, then spits it out for the offspring. It has a calm, and caring nature. Because its horn grows slowly it prefers not to fight. It has a docile nature. If it is threatened with attack, it raises the barbs that are all over its body. 70 62 67 56 55 310 70 62 67 56 55 55 365

Nidorina is comparatively larger than its pre-evolution, though she loses the forehead horn. Nidorina's poison spikes are larger, and probably more potent; she has also gained the ability to stand on her hind legs. Nidorina is the female equivalent of Nidorino. This is shown even in its name, which ends in a as opposed to o in Nidorino. A is traditionally a feminine vowel in the English language, particularly at the ends of names. Nidorina seems to be more docile, and relaxed than her counterpart Nidorino. Nidorina is a gentle Pokémon like its pre-evolution, Nidoran♀. She is a caring mother, chewing food for her young. Although she would rather not attack at all, she prefers attacks like clawing, and biting. She seems to display close family bonds with others of her own kind, and becomes nervous when separated. However, when angered, a Nidorina can become a formidable foe. Nidorina live in expansive hot savannas, and plains. (Unconfirmed!) Nidorina appears to be based on a rabbit or mouse, or even a hamster. Nidorina's name may be based on the word needle. Alternatively, it may be based on 二 ni, two, or 二度 nido, two times/two degrees, referring to there being two distinct evolutionary lines using the name with similar names, and traits. The rina in its name most likely alludes to its female gender- in many languages, such as Spanish, names, and words ending in a are said to be feminine.
