[SET COMMENTS]
Nidoking is a powerful wallbreaker that is able to take advantage of its wide movepool and access to Sheer Force. With a god's Special Attack, it is able to break through common special walls like Heatran, Necrozma-DM, and Tapu Fini. Life Orb enhances Nidoking's damage output even further without drawback. Sludge Wave is its most powerful attack against neutral targets while also dealing super effective damage to common specially defensive Pokemon such as Tapu Fini and Clefable. Earth Power hits Heatran and Necrozma-DM for heavy damage, although specially defensive variants of Necrozma-DM are not OHKOed and can deal significant damage back. Ice Beam can be used to OHKO Landorus-T and is Nidoking's best option to hit Giratina, while Fire Blast OHKOes Ferrothorn and deals heavy damage or OHKOes Corviknight. Flamethrower can be used to ensure you are not PP stalled by Corviknight. Thunderbolt hits Ho-Oh, Kyogre, and Slowking for super effective damage, although Substitute can be used to ease predictions. Maximum Speed EVs and a Timid nature make sure Nidoking can outspeed non-max speed Rotom-W and Ho-Oh, although a Modest nature can be used to increase damage output even further while still outpacing Necrozma-DM without a boosting nature.

Nidoking needs a god with high Special Attack, like Mewtwo, Pheromosa, or Rayquaza, in order to function properly. Its ability to open up holes in the opposing team's defensive core makes it a great partner for fast cleaners like Kartana and Tapu Koko. Nidoking has trouble breaking through Gastrodon, Lunala, and Ho-Oh if not carrying Thunderbolt. Kartana can help improve these matchups with its ability to threaten Gastrodon and Lunala and by removing Ho-Oh's Heavy-Duty Boots with Knock Off. When using Substitute, Nidoking has to sacrifice coverage and oftentimes the ability to beat certain Pokemon, so teammates that can help with this lack of coverage are appreciated. Due to its relatively low bulk and lack of recovery, sturdy defensive partners like Corviknight, Landorus-T, and Rotom-W are appreciated. All three of these offer pivoting support, allowing Nidoking to enter the field safely. Entry hazard setters like Ferrothorn and Heatran also make good teammates, accumulating chip damage on potential checks.

[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
=============

Nidoking can receive Speed, which allows it to act as a cleaner, but comes at the expense of significant damage output.

Checks and Counters
===================

**Neutral Walls**: Bulky Ubers such as Lunala are capable of surviving any hit from Nidoking and forcing it out, while Pokemon like Rotom-W are able to force out Nidoking effectively.

**Revenge Killers**: Mewtwo, Zygarde-10%, Weavile, and and other fast offensive Pokemon are all able to revenge kill Nidoking very consistently.
