Attack Kingly Impact (240)
Card Details
Character Background
Team Rocket’s Nidoking ex feels like the kind of boss monster that turns a simple Poison plan into a brutal control-tempo package: Tainted Horn hits for a solid 100 while immediately threatening 80 damage from Poison during Checkup, so even bulky targets start melting fast if they can’t clear the condition. That makes it especially strong in decks that want to soften the opponent’s Active and force awkward switch decisions, then cash in with Kingly Impact’s huge 240 to close the game. Because it’s a Stage 2, the best support comes from consistency and acceleration: pair it with reliable search for Nidoran/Nidorino lines, Darkness energy support, and cards that keep Poison pressure or trap effects online. It shines most when you play patient, leaning into control and attrition rather than racing every turn, since its real strength is making every turn after the first attack increasingly expensive for the opponent.
