Is Nidorino worth hunting?
Among the 24 Pokémon in the level 30 hunt, Nidorino ranks 15th for loot per kill, 1% below the level's median.
Its loot-to-XP ratio sits close to the level median — neither a money hunt nor a pure XP hunt, it serves both at a similar pace.
65% of all loot comes from a single item: Venom Stone. If its price changes in game, this hunt's income changes with it.
The rare drop worth waiting for is Venom Stone (5,000 at the NPC), at 0.57% chance — on average one every 175 kills.
For XP it ranks 5 of 24 at this level — 548 per kill.
