Yellow:When resting deep in its burrow, its thorns always retract. This is proof that it is relaxed.
Gold:When feeding its young, it first chews and tenderizes the food, then spits it out for the offspring.
Silver:It has a calm and caring nature. Because its horn grows slowly, it prefers not to fight.
Crystal:It has a docile nature. If it is threatened with attack, it raises the barbs that are all over its body.
Ruby, Sapphire:When NIDORINA are with their friends or family, they keep their barbs tucked away to prevent hurting each other. This POKéMON appears to become nervous if separated from the others.
