By checklist position it is 55 of 102, which puts it in the middle third of the binder. Its binder neighbours are Metapod (#54) and Onix (#56). 48 Base Set cards print a higher HP than its 40. Nidoran ♂ was printed without a holofoil panel; 16 of the 102 cards carry one.
Which printing you are holding
Three Base Set printings exist, and a Nidoran ♂ from each is a different card to price. 1st Edition carries the edition stamp and a flat frame; Shadowless drops the stamp and keeps the flat frame; Unlimited restores the drop shadow. Each printing of Nidoran ♂ therefore gets its own cell here, never one blended number.
