Flavor Text
The female's horn develops slowly. Prefers physical attacks such as clawing and biting.
When resting deep in its burrow, its thorns always retract. This is proof that it is relaxed.
The female has a gentle temperament. It emits ultrasonic cries that have the power to befuddle foes.
When feeding its young, it first chews and tenderizes the food, then spits it out for the offspring.
It has a calm and caring nature. Because its horn grows slowly, it prefers not to fight.
It has a docile nature. If it is threatened with attack, it raises the barbs that are all over its body.
When Nidorina are with their friends or family, they keep their barbs tucked away to prevent hurting each other. This Pokémon appears to become nervous if separated from the others.
