Nidoking

Rain

<- "Pull my finger."
Hi,

I want a Nidoking in Gold with this moveset:

-Shadow Ball
-Sludge Bomb
-Earthquake
-Megahorn

The problem is, I don't know if it is possible to get Megahorn on a Nidoking in Gold. Is it possible?

Thanks in advance.

Nidoking cant learn Megahorn in Gold.It learns it in the new versions.You could replace it with something like Thunderbolt.

Is thunder ok too? Because I can't get Thunderbolt.

While Thunder is more powerful, it has a shockingly low accuracy rate, making it a very risky move to use in battle. TM41 gives you Thunderpunch, which could be a good alternative, though it only has 75 power as opposed to Thunderbolt's 95.

Ah darn I made a mistake. Nidoking can't learn Sludge Bomb in gold. What is a good alternative?

Maybe Rock Slide? You can get the Rock Slide TM in RBY, so just trade it over.

Or you could use a Thunder/Ice punch combination. Thunderpunch for water types and Ice punch for Ground types. Both will help with Normal/Flying types too, which your other moves can't touch.

Psychical Sweeper:

Rock Slide
Earthquake
Shadow Ball
Return?

Mixed Sweeper:

Earthquake
Shadow Ball
Thunderpunch
Ice Punch

Both should be almost as good as the set you had in mind. IMO, the mixed set is more fun.
