Nidorino

Nidorino, known as ニドリーノ in Japanese, is a Poison-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I. It evolves from Nidoran♂ starting at level 16 and evolves into Nidoking when exposed to a Moon Stone. Nidorino serves as the male counterpart to the Nidoran♀ line. Physically, Nidorino is a light-purple, quadrupedal mammalian Pokémon with darker purple patches across its body. It features large, spiny ears with teal insides, narrow black eyes, and a long snout with two pointed teeth protruding from the upper jaw. Nidorino has a ridge of toxic spines on its back and a long, pointed horn on its forehead. This horn is harder than diamond and can secrete poison upon impact, which becomes more potent with increased adrenaline. Nidorino is independent, nervous, and fierce, known to be easily angered. It uses its ears to monitor its surroundings, and if it senses hostility, the spines on its back bristle, and it will fight with full force. It can use its horn to break diamonds and destroy boulders in its search for Moon Stones. Nidorino typically inhabits hot savannas and plains.
