Keeps bugging me: how does pic related happened? Aint Gengar affect Nidorino's tackle?

yes
Looking at its gen I learnset, the only potential move that it looks like Nidorino could be using would be poison sting. Otherwise, all other moves that its attack looks like won't affect Gengar.

Gangar attmpted to just punch
This was probably the absolute first work they did on the game. Gengar and Nidorino were just sketches on Sugimori's desk at the time, nobody knew what a ghost type was or what it was immune to.
Also I dunno if you can tell but Gen I is sort of slapdash to begin with, especially Green. You can tell they weren't expecting it to be so popular.
