08 //Pokédex entries
Small but brave, this Pokémon will hold its ground and even risk its life in battle to protect the female it’s friendly with.
The horn on a male Nidoran’s forehead contains a powerful poison. This is a very cautious Pokémon, always straining its large ears.
Nidoran♂ has developed muscles for moving its ears. Thanks to them, the ears can be freely moved in any direction. Even the slightest sound does not escape this Pokémon’s notice.
It scans its surroundings by raising its ears out of the grass. Its toxic horn is for protection.
It stiffens its ears to sense danger. The larger its horns, the more powerful its secreted venom.
Its large ears are flapped like wings when it is listening to distant sounds. It extends toxic barbs when angered.
