Nidoking is a dual Poison- and Ground-type Pokémon available in 4-star Raids.
It’s duo-able for high-level Trainers with teams consisting of top Psychic-type counters such as Mewtwo, Alakazam, Latios, and Metagross. Lower-level Trainers or Trainers lacking proper counters should Raid in larger groups (3-20) to take out the King of the Nidos.

I JUST CAN'T WAIT TO BE KING
King Nido is Raid most Trainers can and will probably skip. It definitely has a place in PvP, and a level 20 Raid Nido is right there below the 1500 CP cap for Great League play, so if you want to add a Nido to your PvP squad, getting a raid or two in is one way to do so. Keep up to date with the availability of Nidoking in Raids by checking out the Current Raid Boss List on our Homepage.
