Evolve now or wait
from the game's learnsets and the relearner ruleNidorino evolves whenever you use the Moon Stone; the comparison below assumes you do it at level 30, the level you first meet it. Evolving then forfeits 3 moves that Nidorino would still learn: Fury Attack at 34, Flatter at 43, Horn Drill at 53. Nidoking learns 1 move of its own after that: Megahorn at 43.
| Move you would forfeit | Level | Can you get it back? |
|---|---|---|
| Fury Attack | 34 | No. The Move Relearner only teaches moves from the current form's own level-up list, so once it is Nidoking this move is gone. |
| Flatter | 43 | No. The Move Relearner only teaches moves from the current form's own level-up list, so once it is Nidoking this move is gone. |
| Horn Drill | 53 | No. The Move Relearner only teaches moves from the current form's own level-up list, so once it is Nidoking this move is gone. |
Rule the game applies: the Move Relearner on Two Island (he takes two Tiny Mushrooms or one Big Mushroom) teaches only the level-up moves of the form you hand him, at or below its current level. Delaying an evolution costs the evolved form's higher base stats for every level you wait; a move you barely use is not worth that.
