Nidoking's base attack got raised in X/Y. You may want to look at its physical options now that it has a higher base attack. I don't know if they can compare to the sheer spectrum of special moves it has available to it, but it may be worth a second look.

Did the math before breeding for my own.
Sheer Force+Life orb still makes his special movepool much better even with the attack buff he got.
If only he had more physical attacks that benefited from Sheer Force.

Something like Earthquake/Rock slide/Megahorn and a Poison Jab.

However like >>15783707 said, they don't get any benefit from sheer force, except for Rock Slide, not sure if Poison Jab

Poison Jab would.

The main issue is that Earthquake wouldn't get anything

In December, he gets the three elemental punches, so at least OP can look forward to that. Something like Poison Jab/Ice Punch/Fire Punch?

For now though, Life Orb special attacking set is probably the best.

Has anyone considered the viability of a mixed attacker Nidoking?

It's probably viable, but likely not very strong. You'd have to split EVs or one side would end up being too weak, and he will always need the max speed because he's a little slow.

Did some quick calculations again.
This is Modest/Adamant Nidoking vs Normal type 100 base stat defenses with different special/physical moves.

Earth Power
62.28-73.71
Earthquake
58.85-69.71

Sludge Wave
65.14-77.71
Poison Jab
62.28-73.71

Ice Beam
41.71-49.14
Ice Punch
38.85-46.28

The differences really is fairly minimal actualy.

Is Modest/Adamant even worthwhile over Timid/Jolly? I feel like NIdoking needs all the speed it can get.

Did they change Life Orb and Sheer Force?

If not, you might want to consider the combo, so you're not locked into a move.

Of course, you might end up missing the little bit of extra oomph that Specs provides.

And just do 4/HP/252 Special Attack/252 Speed

It already misses the 100 speed mark, so not having a speed nature shouldn't matter as much when it'll get outsped a lot of the time anyway. Speed tiering puts a +speed nidoking equal to a 98 neutral base speed pokemon, which I guess lets it outspeed modest hydreigon. Neutral speed nidoking gets outsped by base 75 positive natures, but I'm not too sure on what is in that bracket you need to worry about.
