Condition Details
The card appears to be stored in a plastic pocket without a sleeve. Significant edge wear and whitening are visible on the corners even through the plastic. Centering appears slightly shifted to the right. The surface shows reflectiveness that suggests light scratching or pocket wear.

Not recommended for grading unless it is a personal collection piece. The cost of grading (approx. $15-25) exceeds the current market value of an uncommon card in this condition.
Card Description
Nidorino is a purple Stage 1 Poison-type Pokémon. It features the attacks 'Horn Attack' for 20 damage and 'Fury Attack' for 30x damage. The artwork is by Mitsuhiro Arita and depicts Nidorino in a desert-like setting. This specific version is 'Shadowless,' identifiable by the lack of a drop shadow behind the character art frame.
Notable Features
Shadowless variant; 1995, 96, 98, 99 Nintendo/Creatures/GAMEFREAK copyright date line; HP text is thin compared to Unlimited printings.
Authentication Notes
The font styles, 'Shadowless' design elements (no drop shadow, thin HP font), and color saturation appear consistent with genuine Wizards of the Coast production from 1999.
