Nidoran M 055/102 Pokémon Base Set Shadowless Raw

The Nidoran M 055/102 from the Pokémon Base Set (Shadowless) is a highly sought-after collectible card for fans and traders alike. As a Basic Grass-type Pokémon, this common card features the iconic artwork of Ken Sugimori and captures the youthful, spiky charm of the Poison Pin Pokémon. With 40 HP and a single [G] Horn Hazard attack dealing 30 damage, it may not dominate battles, but its nostalgic value and status as part of the original 102-card Base Set make it a cornerstone of any vintage Pokémon TCG collection. The "Shadowless" designation refers to the absence of a drop shadow behind the artwork—a subtle but important trait that distinguishes early print runs from later Unlimited editions.

Released in 1999 as part of the first English expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, the Shadowless Base Set represents a golden era of Pokémon nostalgia. The Nidoran M card, in particular, stands out due to its 1st Edition and gray 3D stamp variants, which significantly increase its desirability among collectors. Its card text notes that "the larger, more powerful of its horns secretes venom," adding to the creature’s intriguing lore.
