Nidoking.

0:00What if I told you the most intimidating powerhouse in the original games has exactly one weakness, and it isn't a stronger opponent?

0:04This is Nidoking, it is built entirely out of force.

0:07Its tail can knock down a metal tower in one swing.

0:11Its horn is hard enough to crush a diamond.

0:14The Pokédex says that once Nidoking goes on a rampage, there is no stopping it.

0:18Not by an army.

0:22Not by a stronger Pokémon.

0:25Nothing in the world can settle it once it starts.

0:29Except one thing.

0:32The Pokédex says when Nidoking is near the Nidoqueen it has lived with for a long time, it calms down.

0:36The unstoppable thing stops.

0:40Not because something finally overpowered it.

0:43Because it's home, next to the family it built.

0:47The only force on earth strong enough to quiet all that fury is the quiet presence of the ones it loves.

0:50Some of you grew up with a Nidoking.

0:54He was all hard edges.

0:58Strong, intimidating, hard to read, hard to reach.

1:01The kind of man who felt more like a wall than a person, who showed up as force when you wanted softness.

1:05And it took you years to understand that the wall was the point.

1:08He made himself into something that could topple towers so that nothing would ever get to you.

1:12The strength you sometimes flinched from was him standing between you and the whole world.

1:16That was the only language he had for love.

1:19And the only place he ever set it down was home, next to you.

1:23If your dad was a Nidoking, hard on the outside, all of it pointed at protecting you, send him this today.

1:26He'll understand it better than you think.
