Team Rocket’s Nidoking EX (Special Illustration Rare) is an ultra-rare Pokémon TCG trading card from the 2025 Scarlet & Violet “Destined Rivals” expansion, a set celebrating Team Rocket lore. This Darkness-type Stage 2 card features 330 HP and a vibrant full-art illustration by Uninori, with Nidoking charging through shattered earth and Giovanni looming behind – all rendered in a dramatic holofoil pattern. In play, its high HP and powerful attacks (like a 240-damage Kingly Impact and poison-inflicting Tainted Horn) give it strong offense, balanced by the Pokémon‐EX rule of yielding two Prize cards if knocked out. Both players and collectors will appreciate its competitive Dark-type firepower and striking foil artwork; the Team Rocket theme and Giovanni’s iconic Nidoking make this card a nostalgic standout in any collection.
