Strategy Overview
Nidoking is usually better suited for your competitive needs because his higher Speed and offenses, in addition to Megahorn, make it a lot easier to pulverize opposing teams. However, Nidoqueen is much better at using Counter due to higher sturdiness. Because of this tankish nature, Nidoqueen is also better at using the nice resistances given to the Poison / Ground typing, but still you should be wary of these nasty weaknesses to Earthquake, Psychic, Ice Beam, and Surf.
