Everything we know about Nidorino

Nidorino appears to be inspired by a combination of different animals. It’s horn and the inclusion of ‘rino’ in its name, demonstrates that rhinoceroses definitely inspired part of its design.

Yet, the large ears and spikes also suggest that Nidorino’s design was influenced by both porcupines and rabbits as well.

What we do know, however, is that Nidorino’s design originates from Capsule Monsters, which was the precursor to the Pokémon franchise. It shares this origin with Gengar, which is why the pair are seen fighting at the beginning of the Pokémon anime and in the openings for certain games, including Pokémon Red and Green.

Nidorino is also the Pokémon shown to you in the introductory cutscene for Pokémon Red and Blue. The cry it makes, however, is that of a Nidorina!
