Strategy Overview

Although it has access to Toxic Spikes, Nidoran-F is entirely outclassed as a defensive Toxic Spikes setter by Mareanie and Koffing, which boast better bulk. Other Poison-type Pokemon such as Foongus and Alolan Grimer also outclass it defensively and offensively as well. As such, Nidoran-F is bad and shouldn't be used.
