Giovanni's Nidorina 44/132 Gym Challenge Pokémon Card
This is a Giovanni's Nidorina Pokémon trading card from the Gym Challenge expansion, released in 2000. The card is a Stage 1 Grass-type Pokémon with 60 HP. It features Ken Sugimori's signature illustration style, depicting Nidorina with a fierce expression against a muted natural background. The card shows classic late-90s/early-2000s Wizards of the Coast construction including the yellow border, green textured background for Grass types, and the unique Gym Series symbol of a gym leader's silhouette (Giovanni) in the bottom right of the art frame and next to the attacks. Notable attacks listed are Poison Sting Tackle for 30 damage and Body Slam for 20 damage. In terms of condition, the card is currently housed in a plastic binder sleeve which has some light scuffing and surface glare. The card itself appears to have some whitening or edge wear visible along the right-hand border and bottom right corner. There is a visible dark smudge or speck of debris near the bottom right corner of the card's face. The centering appears slightly heavy toward the bottom border. As an unlimited edition card from the Gym Challenge set (indicated by the 44/132 set number and lack of a 1st Edition stamp), it represents a key era of the early competitive Trading Card Game.
