Where the Nidoking money is

Value is not spread evenly across the printings — the ranking below is by total tracked value, not by card count, the same measure as the most valuable Pokémon cards.

The top 4 of 23 Nidoking cards hold 84% of the $1,705 total. The remaining 19 share what is left, which is why a “complete Nidoking collection” in the collection tracker costs far less than the headline suggests until you reach the top row.

This is the median, not the average. Averaging the ratios gives 89.3×, which only 5 of 22 cards (23%) actually reach: a card worth a few cents raw with a three-figure slab produces a ratio in the hundreds and drags the mean above almost the whole set. The median is what a card in the middle really does, and it is the figure to take to the grading ROI calculator.

Indexed over 13 of this set's 23 cards — the ones with enough PriceCharting sales history to track continuously.

1 year is withheld: the weighted index and the basket total disagree over that window, which means the index was re-based rather than the cards re-priced. A number we cannot stand behind is worse than no number.

Strongest Nidoking grading opportunities

Ranked by expected net — every grade weighted by how often this card actually earns it (the gem rate beside each card is its PSA 10 share). Best case is the PSA 10 outcome, which is why it is the larger number and the one to trust least.

Collecting Nidoking cards

Nidoking has been printed in every era of the game, from 1999 (Base) to 2025 (Destined Rivals). The Vintage (1999–2003) era holds the most printings, 7 of the 23, and it holds the value too: $1,445, 85% of the total.

Nidoking cards are affordable but not bulk: 10 of the 23 priced cards sit under $5 raw, the cheapest being the Nidoking, and the median card is worth about $10.77. 5 are worth $50 or more, and 1 clears $500. Those 5 cards hold 87% of the total on this page.

By rarity the printings split into 9 tiers, led by Rare Holo (8), Rare (8) and Rare Secret (1). 22 of the 23 cards carry a PSA 10 price, the figure the grading section uses; those cards are worth about $10.77 raw at the median, against $3.96 for the 1 with no gem-mint price on file.

The grid filters by set and rarity and sorts by value, era, the PSA 10 gap or the 30-day move, so the cheapest Nidoking is one sort away (add the rarity filter for the cheapest holo); the by-set index above lists every card as text for when you know the number. Prices are CardTrack's blended raw value from real sold results, updated today.
