About the Pokémon

Nidoqueen is the Drill Pokémon, recorded as No. 031 in the National Pokédex. It was introduced in Generation I, associated with the Kanto generation of games. Its tough scales provide protection for its substantial body. It evolves from Nidorina. Its species identity is shared across its different TCG appearances.

About the Expansion

Pokémon Jungle arrived in Japan on 5 March 1997 as the second main expansion. Its 48-card checklist expanded the original Kanto selection with Pokémon including Eevee's evolutions and Snorlax. These Japanese cards retain the original Pocket Monsters back and predate the differently structured English Jungle release of 1999.

Artwork & Collector's Notes

Ken Sugimori is credited for this Pokémon Jungle illustration of Nidoqueen. The holofoil finish, original Pocket Monsters reverse and Japanese text identify this printing. The No. 031 identifier is a Pokédex number, not an English set checklist position.
