It is worth noting that Nidorino caught during the Pokémon Go New Year 2023 Event will be wearing a party hat, and can be shiny!
Nidorino Counters
Since Shadow Pokémon are extremely expensive to power up and require specific events to remove Frustration with a Charge TM, they will NOT be listed as raid counters in this article. That being said, if you have the shadow form of a listed raid counter Pokémon powered up and TMed, use it.
