Pokedex Entry

Nidorin venenosus is a small, herbivorous mammal characterized by its distinctive, rounded horn that secretes a potent venom. This adaptation serves as a defense mechanism against predators, allowing the species to deter threats effectively. Nidoran is primarily found in grassland and scrub habitats, where it forages for a diet consisting mainly of berries, roots, and leaves. The species exhibits a docile temperament, preferring to avoid confrontation; however, when threatened, it can deliver a venomous sting from its horn, which can incapacitate smaller predators. Notably, females possess heightened olfactory sensitivity, enabling them to detect danger more efficiently through the use of specialized sensory whiskers. This species relies on thermoregulation to maintain body temperature in varying climates, demonstrating a remarkable ability to adapt to diverse environmental conditions.
