Its lower jaw, chest plates and lower torso are cream-colored. It has a horn on its forehead, narrow black eyes, and large, spiny ears. There are toxic spikes running down the length of its back, and its body in encased in extremely hard scales that serve as excellent protection from any attack and stand up when Nidoqueen is excited or provoked. It has a thick, powerful tail. This is a female only species; the male counterpart is {{p|Nidoking}}. | ||

It is also adept at sending foes flying with harsh tackles and it uses its hefty bulk to execute powerful moves.

Nidoqueen (Japanese: ニドクイン Nidoqueen) is a dual-type Poison/Ground Pokémon.
It evolves from Nidorina when exposed to a Moon Stone. It is the final form of Nidoran♀.
It is related to the Nidoran♂ line, but unlike Nidoran♀, Nidoqueen cannot breed.
Biology
Nidoqueen is a large, bipedal blue Pokémon with distinct reptilian features. Its lower jaw, chest plates and lower torso are cream-colored. It has a horn on its forehead, narrow black eyes, and large, spiny ears. There are toxic spikes running down the length of its back, and its body in encased in extremely hard scales that serve as excellent protection from any attack and stand up when Nidoqueen is excited or provoked. It has a thick, powerful tail. This is a female only species; the male counterpart is Nidoking.
Nidoqueen can be quite fierce and is very protective over its young. This Pokémon is at its strongest when it is defending its young, and will try to seal the entrance to its burrow to protect them. When in contact with foes, it can poison them with the spikes from its back or cause small tremors by slamming the ground. It is also adept at sending foes flying with harsh tackles and it uses its hefty bulk to execute powerful moves. Nidoqueen lives in hot savannas and plains.
In the anime
Major appearances
Nidoqueen's first appearance was in Mewtwo Strikes Back. A Nidoqueen owned by Fergus was one of the Pokémon that were captured and cloned by Mewtwo. The Nidoqueen clone was seen again in Mewtwo Returns, along with what was apparently a Nidoqueen baby despite the fact that Nidoqueen cannot breed and her unevolved form is Nidoran♀.
Navel Island Gym Leader Danny owns a Nidoqueen. This Nidoqueen was shown competing against Ash's Lapras in Navel Maneuvers in which the challenge was freezing a super-heated geyser. Afterwards, this Nidoqueen helped Danny's Machoke and Scyther carve Danny's sled. She reappeared in a flashback in A Way Off Day Off and in another flashback in Hello, Pummelo!.
Gary Oak was shown to have a Nidoqueen after Ash's trip on the Orange Islands. Gary first used his Nidoqueen to defend his grandfather's lab from Team Rocket agents Jessie, James and Meowth in A Tent Situation. Gary later used Nidoqueen in Can't Beat the Heat! in the Johto League. Gary's Nidoqueen defeated Ash's Tauros and was defeated by Ash's Snorlax.
A Nidoqueen appeared under the ownership of Andi in The Bicker the Better. Her boyfriend, Oscar, had a Nidoking.
Minor appearances
Nidoqueen also appeared in The Power of One.
Multiple Nidoqueen also appeared in Celebi: Voice of the Forest.
In Extreme Pokémon!, a Nidoqueen appeared with her Trainer, participating in the Extreme Pokémon Race.
A Nidoqueen appeared with a blue jaw instead of a cream-colored one due to an error in Historical Mystery Tour! with a Nidoking.

Trivia
- Despite being a non-legendary, gendered species, Nidoqueen are unable to breed. However, its male counterpart, Nidoking, can.
- Many of its Pokédex entries state that it protects its young.
- Despite being in the Undiscovered Group, Nidoqueen was shown to be capable of breeding in the anime special Mewtwo Returns, when a cloned Nidoqueen and a cloned Rhyhorn produced Eggs containing both baby Rhyhorn and baby Nidoqueen (not baby Nidoran♀).
- Nidoqueen is the only Nidoran evolutionary family member whose Shiny color is not the same as its opposite-gender counterpart's normal color.
- Nidoqueen and its male counterpart Nidoking share their category name with Rhydon and Rhyperior. They are all known as the Drill Pokémon. All four are also Ground types.
- Aside from Nidoking, no other Pokémon has the same type combination as Nidoqueen.
Origin
Nidoqueen shares traits of rhinoceroses, gorillas, rabbits and porcupines. The coverings on its chest and its lower abdomen collectively resemble a two-piece bikini worn by human females.
Name origin
Nidoqueen may be a combination of needle and queen (reflective of its gender and being the final evolution). Nido may also be based on cnidocyte, a type of venomous cell responsible for the stings delivered by stinging animals, most notably by jellyfish. Alternatively, it may be based on 二 ni (two) or 二度 nido (two times/two degrees), referring to there being two distinct evolutionary lines using the name with similar names and traits.
