Steam Siege is a set in the XY series. It was released on 3 August 2016. The printed size is 114. This checklist is longer, at 116 cards. Nidorino is 44/114, in position 44 of 116 on this checklist. Before it is 43 Nidoran ♂, and after it is 45 Nidoking. The listed rarity is Uncommon.

Nidorino is a Stage 1 Psychic Pokémon with 80 HP. In the Pokédex this is Nidorino (#033), generation 1 (Kanto). The card says it evolves from Nidoran ♂. In this catalog that name is Nidoran♂ (#032). The card lists Nidoking, Nidoking (#034) under evolves to.

TOKIYA illustrated this card. The same name is on 93 other cards in the catalog.

Nidorino (#033) has 15 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 15 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2025. The earliest other card is Nidorino 37/102 in Base (1999). That card lists 60 HP, and this one lists 80 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated that card, and TOKIYA illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 1, and here it is 2. 12 other cards of Nidorino list a different HP.

If Nidorina is on your Bench, this attack does 40 more damage. Weakness is Psychic ×2. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "An aggressive Pokémon that is quick to attack. The horn on its head secretes a powerful venom."

I keep a set binder for Steam Siege, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Steam Siege set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Nidorino can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
