It pacifies offspring by placing them in the gaps between the spines on its back. The spines will never secrete poison while young are present.

It’s interesting to see the Nidoqueen line be Darkness-type for the first time!
Interestingly enough the Nidoking line was already Darkness-type once, due to Delta Species shenanigans in Dragon Frontiers. (There was a Nidoqueen line in DF; it was Metal-type.)

Not counting Arceus or Ditto, is Nidoqueen the Pokemon that’s been printed as the most different elemental types in TCG history? Grass, Fighting, Psychic, and now Darkness – that’s four. I don’t think any of the other Poison/whatever types were printed as Grass mons (e.g. there wasn’t a grass-type Tentacruel).
I’m not counting Delta Species here, although even then she might be on top with the Metal-type one.

The “obvious” pick would be Arceus, which in the Arceus expansion was printed in every type that existed in DP/Pt block (G/R/W/L/P/F/D/M/C)… but I’m guessing that’s not in the spirit of the exercise :)
If you count Delta Species then you get stuff like Rayquaza: Colorless, Dragon, Lightning, Fire, Water+Metal (a dual-type card)… six types, plus it’s also on a Psychic-type LEGEND card with Deoxys.

Nidoking’s been printed with 5 types as well, since it was a Colorless-type Crystal Pokémon, so that makes Grass, Psychic, Fighting, Darkness, and Colorless.
If you count alternate forms and/or Delta/Tera types, you’ve also got Charizard, Flygon, Dragonite, and Rotom clocking in at 6 types each. There could be more as well, that’s just me checking those specific ones off the top of my head.

The background looks a lot like the Crown Tundra, a place where wild Nidoqueen can be found.

151 doesn’t link its cards to the new games, so you can enjoy the set even if you don’t buy the games anymore. It’s a general theme.
