08 //Pokédex entries
If the group is threatened, these Pokémon will band together to assault enemies with a chorus of ultrasonic waves.
The horn on its head has atrophied. It’s thought that this happens so Nidorina’s children won’t get poked while their mother is feeding them.
When resting deep in its burrow, its barbs always retract. This is proof that it is relaxed.
When feeding its young, it first chews the food into a paste, then spits it out for the offspring.
When it senses danger, it raises all the barbs on its body. These barbs grow slower than Nidorino’s.
The female’s horns develop slowly. Prefers physical attacks such as clawing and biting.
