'''Nidoran♀''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ニドラン♀''' ''Nidoran♀'') is a {{type2|Poison}} Pokémon.
|friendship=70
}}
'''Nidoran♀''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ニドラン♀''' ''Nidoran♀'') is a {{type|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].
 
It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Nidorina}} starting at [[level]] 16, which evolves into {{p|Nidoqueen}} when exposed to a [[Moon Stone]].
 
It is related to the {{p|Nidoran♂}} line, and when bred with either one of them, it can produce {{pkmn|Egg}}s that contain either Nidoran♀ or Nidoran♂. However, it is the only one of its line that can breed as its evolutions are in the {{egg3|No Eggs Discovered}}.


==Biology==
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Nidoran♀ is a small, quadrupedal, {{wp|mammalian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has large, spiny ears; oversized front teeth; red eyes; and a pair of whiskers on each cheek. It is light blue with several darker blue spots. There are two white claws on each of its paws. Its back is covered with small toxic spines, and it has a small forehead horn.
Nidoran♀ is a small, rabbit-based Pokémon with large ears, whiskers and front teeth. They are covered with small spines primarily on their back which can release potent poisons if Nidoran♀ is threatened.  Nidoran♀ doesn't seem to possess any fur, similar to reptiles. Nidoran♀ have a smaller forehead horn than their male counterparts, Nidoran♂.


====Gender differences====
The poisons secreted by the spines and horn are extremely potent, and even a scratch from its horn or a drop of poison from its barbs can be deadly. However, this docile Pokémon only uses its poison when it feels threatened. Nidoran♀ is more sensitive to smell than {{p|Nidoran♂}}. It can use its whiskers to check the wind while either searching for berries or to avoid predators. Nidoran♀ can use its incisor teeth for crushing the berries it forages for. Nidoran♀ lives in open spaces, such as {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|savannas and plains}}. Nidoran♀ is a female-only species.
Nidoran♀ is the female of the species, and is noted to be the first Pokémon to denote [[gender]] differences. In the later generations, however, Pokémon with genders are marked with a ♀ or ♂ symbol, rather than being actual different Pokémon.


Compare with {{p|Nidoran♂}}. Note how the male Nidoran has a longer horn and more spines, as well as a different color.
===Evolution===
Nidoran♀ evolves into {{p|Nidorina}}, which evolves into {{p|Nidoqueen}}.


====Special abilities====
(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data&rarr;Evolution data]].)
Nidoran♀ usually attacks by {{m2|Scratch|clawing}} and {{m2|Bite|biting}} her foes. She also has the aforementioned ability to {{a2|Poison Point|secrete poison from her small spikes}}.  Nidoran♀ can also wield a couple of {{t|Ice}} and {{t|Electric}} attacks.

===Behavior===
==Game data==
Nidoran♀ are known to be rather docile and reserved. However, angering one can result in being poisoned by one of its toxic spines. These are thought to have developed to counteract its small size.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Nidoran was the first Pokémon to feature gender, and even gender differences; however, their difference is much greater than later Pokémon.
[[File:Baby Nidoran Battle Pencils.jpg|200px|thumb|Baby Nidoran]]
*Despite the addition of Genders in all Pokémon starting in Generation II, the two variations of Nidoran remained seperate species, rather than a singular species that splits down different evolution paths based on gender.
* Nidoran was the first {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to feature [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences]], or even any indication of [[gender]] at all.
*Nidoran♀'s [[alternate coloration]] is based on {{p|Nidoran♂}}'s normal coloration.  
* Despite the addition of genders to most Pokémon starting in [[Generation II]], the two variations of Nidoran remained separate species, rather than a singular species that splits down different evolution paths based on gender.
* A Nidoran♀ {{pkmn|egg}} has a chance of hatching into a Nidoran♂.
** An {{pkmn|Egg}} laid by a Nidoran♀ does, however, have a chance of hatching into a Nidoran♂, while an Egg laid by a Nidoran♂ with a {{p|Ditto}} has a chance of hatching into a Nidoran♀.
*Nidoran♀ and {{p|Nidorina}} share the same [[species]] ,the Poison Pin Pokémon, name with their male counterparts {{p|Nidoran♂}} and {{p|Nidorino}}.
* Nidoran♀ is the only Pokémon that loses the ability to breed upon evolution.
* Nidoran♀'s {{pkmn2|Shiny|alternate coloration}} is similar to {{p|Nidoran♂}}'s normal coloration, and vice versa for Nidoran♂.
* Nidoran♀ shares its {{pkmn|category}} name with {{p|Nidorina}}, {{p|Nidoran♂}}, {{p|Nidorino}}, {{p|Poipole}}, and {{p|Naganadel}}. They are all known as the Poison Pin Pokémon.
* Due to the fact that its gender, ♀, is included in its name, checking Nidoran♀'s summary from [[Generation II]] onward will display as if it were gender unknown if it does not have a nickname. If its nickname is anything other than "Nidoran♀", its gender will appear as normal.
 
===Origin===
Nidoran♀ appears to draw inspiration from {{wp|rabbit}}s  and {{wp|porcupine}}s, with aspects of {{wp|venomous mammal}}s. Anatomically, however, they resemble {{wp|hyrax}}es – small, {{wp|rodent}}-like mammals that are genetically more closely related to much larger mammals like {{wp|elephant}}s and {{wp|manatee}}s featuring thickset bodies with tough hides (similar to Nidorina and Nidoqueen). It may also reference the mythical {{wp|Moon rabbit}} due to its rabbit like appearance and the fact that it reaches its final evolved form using a [[Moon Stone]]. The coloration of Nidoran and its evolutions may be a reference to the {{wp|gendered associations of pink and blue}} in previous centuries.


==Origin==
====Name origin====
Nidoran♀ appears to be based on a [[wp:rabbit|rabbit]].
Nidoran♀ may be derived from ''needle'' with ♀ as an indication of its female gender. It may also involve 二度 ''nido'' (twice). It may be derived from ''nidor'', a strong, unpleasant smell.
===Name origin===
Nidoran♀'s name may be based on the word ''needle''. 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 with similar names and traits. The ''♀'' in its name is an indication of its female gender.

Nidoran♀ (Japanese: ニドラン♀ Nidoran♀) is a Poison-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

It evolves into Nidorina starting at level 16, which evolves into Nidoqueen when exposed to a Moon Stone.

It is related to the Nidoran♂ line, and when bred with either one of them, it can produce Eggs that contain either Nidoran♀ or Nidoran♂. However, it is the only one of its line that can breed as its evolutions are in the No Eggs Discovered Egg Group.

Biology

Nidoran♀ is a small, quadrupedal, mammalian Pokémon. It has large, spiny ears; oversized front teeth; red eyes; and a pair of whiskers on each cheek. It is light blue with several darker blue spots. There are two white claws on each of its paws. Its back is covered with small toxic spines, and it has a small forehead horn.

The poisons secreted by the spines and horn are extremely potent, and even a scratch from its horn or a drop of poison from its barbs can be deadly. However, this docile Pokémon only uses its poison when it feels threatened. Nidoran♀ is more sensitive to smell than Nidoran♂. It can use its whiskers to check the wind while either searching for berries or to avoid predators. Nidoran♀ can use its incisor teeth for crushing the berries it forages for. Nidoran♀ lives in open spaces, such as savannas and plains. Nidoran♀ is a female-only species.

Evolution

Nidoran♀ evolves into Nidorina, which evolves into Nidoqueen.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to Game data→Evolution data.)

Trivia

Baby Nidoran
  • Nidoran was the first Pokémon to feature gender differences, or even any indication of gender at all.
  • Despite the addition of genders to most Pokémon starting in Generation II, the two variations of Nidoran remained separate species, rather than a singular species that splits down different evolution paths based on gender.
    • An Egg laid by a Nidoran♀ does, however, have a chance of hatching into a Nidoran♂, while an Egg laid by a Nidoran♂ with a Ditto has a chance of hatching into a Nidoran♀.
  • Nidoran♀ is the only Pokémon that loses the ability to breed upon evolution.
  • Nidoran♀'s alternate coloration is similar to Nidoran♂'s normal coloration, and vice versa for Nidoran♂.
  • Nidoran♀ shares its category name with Nidorina, Nidoran♂, Nidorino, Poipole, and Naganadel. They are all known as the Poison Pin Pokémon.
  • Due to the fact that its gender, ♀, is included in its name, checking Nidoran♀'s summary from Generation II onward will display as if it were gender unknown if it does not have a nickname. If its nickname is anything other than "Nidoran♀", its gender will appear as normal.

Origin

Nidoran♀ appears to draw inspiration from rabbits and porcupines, with aspects of venomous mammals. Anatomically, however, they resemble hyraxes – small, rodent-like mammals that are genetically more closely related to much larger mammals like elephants and manatees featuring thickset bodies with tough hides (similar to Nidorina and Nidoqueen). It may also reference the mythical Moon rabbit due to its rabbit like appearance and the fact that it reaches its final evolved form using a Moon Stone. The coloration of Nidoran and its evolutions may be a reference to the gendered associations of pink and blue in previous centuries.

Name origin

Nidoran♀ may be derived from needle with ♀ as an indication of its female gender. It may also involve 二度 nido (twice). It may be derived from nidor, a strong, unpleasant smell.
