Nidoran is a creature from the popular Pokémon franchise which was very popular early on. It is a rodent-like Pokémon which has two distinct forms -male and female- that were both introduced in 1996 as part of the first iteration of the Pokémon franchise. As a part of the original 151, Nidoran quickly became a well-known and popular Pokémon.
Nidoran is first seen at level 16, and it will evolve depending on the version of Pokémon chosen or whichever evolutionary level it attains when given certain items or through gaining a certain experience level. For example, when a male Nidoran is at level 16 it will evolve into Nidorino, while a female Nidoran will turn into Nidorina at that same level. However, it is typically recommended that trainers have Nidoran reach a higher level (usually level 26 or higher) if they wish to have the strongest versions of each Pokémon.
To reach level 26, players should look to use a combination of training and battling. Every time Nidoran defeats a wild Pokémon or another trainer’s Pokémon in battle, it will gain experience. This can be done by battling other wild Pokémon in tall grass, by trying to catch them, or even simply by talking to other trainers and participating in tournaments. Training can also be completed by feeding and playing with Nidoran day-to-day. Once the creature has accumulated enough experience and reached level 26, then the evolution process will begin.
Once Nidoran reaches level 26, male Nidoran evolves to Nidorino, which evolves to Nidoking at level 36. Additionally, the female version of Nidoran evolves to Nidorina and then culminates in Nidoqueen by reaching level 36. These end- evolution forms are very powerful, and they gain a greater increase in stats versus their respective counterparts that evolved at level 16.
Nidoran is a classic and beloved Pokémon, so it is no surprise many trainers like to take them through the full evolution process. To reach the highest level of evolution, players should try to raise their Nidoran up to level 26 by engaging in wild Pokémon battles, training their creature and conversing with other trainers. By doing this, players can experience the greatest level of evolution available for this character.
