75% of Pokemon gamers use cheats and specially made codes to make their pokemon battle-worthy. If you are one of the 25% percent that level their Pokemon up legally, put this in your signature.

She's not faster... Her base Speed is 76, Nidoking's base Speed is 85.

It's Nidoqueen that has better Defenses, and HP. While Nidoking has better Attacking stats and Speed.

Um... Anyway. I like Nidoking better. By a lot. I dislike Nidoqueen, actually... But I love Nidoking. He's so cool...

Hmm... Even though I like Blue, I think I'd choose Nidoking... Maybe because of the stats or because pf the fact that he's a male-only species...

Ill have to go with Nidoking. He looks meaner, tougher, and he just looks like the kinda thing that youd stay away from. ^ ^

As much as I know Nidoking hits harder and faster, I actually prefer Nidoqueen, don't really know why really either.

I agree with darknessvolt... you should have made this a pole.

Anyway, I dislike them both, but if I had to choose one, it'd be Nidoqueen.

I've never had trouble finding and raising a Pokemon with good Attack/Speed, but I seem to have a bit of trouble with Defense/HP... so Nidoqueen would be who I'd choose.

But, like I said before, I don't use either of them.

Nidoking. I have some good memories of using it in the first two generations. Nidoqueen - not so much.
Hoenn is no longer as you know it. The shadow of tyranny grips the land, and pokémon trainers despair across the region.

I always liked Nidoking, even way back in Yellow when it was believed that the only way to beat Brock was by getting a Nidoran with Double Kick...

I know differently now, but I always catch a Nidoran Male whenever I start a new game on yellow.

I have fond memories with Nidoqueen. :D -huggles Sakaka- She still needs a Moon Stone...but still.

But I like Nidoking, too. Good memories with that one, also. -huggles Caiman-

Sadly, they have been replaced by the likes of Tyranitar and such beasties.

I have preferred Nidoking since my first time playing pokemon. His lv 23 move... Thrash, in the original 3 games, was the best move I have ever seen... With one PP, it was able to defeat 3 or 4 opposing pokemon...

I always pick attack and speed when I pick pokemon. Scyther, Nidoking, Zangoose, etc...

I never vs. battle other people, so I rarely have need for Defence or HP. I kill most things before they have a chance to strike back.

Well, in the games, you have Nidoqueen, with the base stats of Health Points at Ninety, Attack at Eighty-Two, Defence at Eighty-Seven, Special Attack at Seventy-Five, Special Defence at Eighty-Five and Speed at Seventy-Six. Nidoking, however, has the base stats of Health Points at Eighty-One, Attack at Ninety-Two, Defence at Seventy-Seven, Special Attack at Eighty-Five, Special Defence at Seventy-Five and Speed at Eighty-Five. And because my strategies for competitive play are normally focused on offensive play, I'd prefer Nidoking.

Also, look at their appearance, Nidoqueen is blue and her shiny form is some sort of horrible brown, but Nidoking is purple and his shiny form is a nice crystal clear blue, because I think Nidoking looks nicer, I've got to say I prefer him there as well.

Then, we move onto the games and my stories. I used a Nidoqueen back in the good old days of Red, Blue and Yellow in all of my teams, for reasons unknown. I thought that she was better than Nidoking, so she wins that round.

Overall though, I'd say I prefer Nidoking.
'It's been a prevalent notion. Fallen sparks. Fragments of vessels broken at the Creation. And someday, somehow, before the end, a gathering back to home. A messenger from the Kingdom, arriving at the last moment. But I tell you there is no such message, no such home -- only the millions of last moments . . . nothing more. Our history is an aggregate of last moments.'

When I started the first generation games, I believe I had both Nidoqueen and Nidoking in my party in my journey. :D I loved the power both brought to the table. So, I prefer both on a level of favorites. However, competitively, I'd never use them. Unfortunately, they aren't powerhouses in competitive play like they were for me ingame. If i had to select one, it'd probably be Nidoqueen. Not really sure why, but something about it makes me like it more. :)

Hm... Nidoking. I never really liked either until I decided to train a Nidoran-Male in FireRed, and then I got this liking for Nidokings. Normally in-game I'm a heavy user of special sweeper-varieties of Pokemon, who are almost guaranteed to strike first and use mainly powerful water/fire/psychic/dark attacks. But with Nidoking, it was a bit different. I enjoyed the raw power I got with him, despite the fact that his speed wasn't as reliable as that of say, my Raichu's (who was on the same game file and party). His attacks and their types also gave him a boost, seeing as I love Earthquake, and Megahorn destroyed Psychics considering he struck before them and didn't miss. So, based on my positive experience training one, I'd have to go with Nidoking. Oh yeah, and I love to draw 'em! Nidoqueen's just... well, just...
