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

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

It is related to Nidoran♀, serving as its male counterpart. When bred with Ditto as of Generation V, it can produce Eggs that contain either Nidoran♂ or Nidoran♀.

Biology

Nidoran♂ is a small, quadrupedal, mammalian Pokémon. It is pinkish purple with darker patches. It has large, spiny ears with teal insides, oversized front teeth, and red eyes. Its back is covered with three lines of large spines that can release potent poisons if threatened. The center line of spines is taller than the other two. The size of the long, pointed horn on its forehead is indicative of the strength of its venom. Nidoran♂ is a male-only species.

Nidoran♂ constantly listens for the sounds of approaching enemies with its large ears. Said ears have unique muscles that allow them to be moved in any direction, and even the slightest sound does not escape Nidoran♂'s notice. In order to listen to distant locations, it flaps its ears like wings. When angry, it extends its toxic spikes and charges, stabbing with its horn to inject poison. Nidoran♂ is brave, and will risk its own life to protect Nidoran♀. Nidoran♂ lives in open spaces, such as savannas and plains.

Evolution

Nidoran♂ evolves into Nidorino, which evolves into Nidoking.

(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 in all 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.
- When an Egg is produced from Nidoran and Ditto parents, the gender ratio of the Egg favors the gender of the non-Ditto parent by an unknown margin.
- A Nidoran♀ Egg has a chance of hatching into a Nidoran♂ when bred with a non-Nidoran♂ compatible father.
Nidoran♂'s Shiny color scheme is similar to Nidoran♀'s normal coloration. The same goes for Nidoran♀ .
Nidoran♂ shares its category name with Nidorino, Nidoran♀, Nidorina, 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.
Nidoran♂ is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 273.

Origin

Nidoran♂ appears to draw inspiration from rabbits and porcupines, with aspects of venomous mammals. However, anatomically 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 Nidorino and Nidoking). 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 male gender. It may also involve 二度 nido (twice). It may be derived from nidor, a pungent and unpleasant odor.

 ==Biology==
-===Physiology===
+Nidoran♂ is a small, quadrupedal, {{wp|mammalian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It is pinkish purple with darker patches. It has large, spiny ears with teal insides, oversized front teeth, and red eyes. Its back is covered with three lines of large spines that can release potent poisons if threatened. The center line of spines is taller than the other two. The size of the long, pointed horn on its forehead is indicative of the strength of its venom. Nidoran♂ is a male-only species.
-Nidoran♂ is a small, {{dl|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a quadruped body|quadruped}}, porcupine-based Pokémon with large ears, front teeth and red eyes. They are covered with spines primarily on their back which can release potent poisons if Nidoran♂ is threatened.
+Nidoran♂ constantly listens for the sounds of approaching enemies with its large ears. Said ears have unique muscles that allow them to be moved in any direction, and even the slightest sound does not escape Nidoran♂'s notice. In order to listen to distant locations, it flaps its ears like wings. When angry, it extends its toxic spikes and charges, stabbing with its horn to inject poison. Nidoran♂ is brave, and will risk its own life to protect {{p|Nidoran♀}}. Nidoran♂ lives in open spaces, such as {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|savannas and plains}}.

-====Gender differences====
+===Learnset===
-Nidoran♂ is the male of the species, and is noted to be one of 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.
+Nidoran♂ is available in {{pkmn|Sword and Shield}} Version 1.3.0+ and {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}.
-Nidoran♂ have a larger forehead horn than their female counterparts, {{p|Nidoran♀}}. They also have more spines, and are of a different color.
+====By [[Level|leveling up]]====
-===Special abilities===
+{{learnlist/levelh/8|Nidoran♂|Poison|Poison|1}}
-Nidoran♂'s large horns can {{a|Poison Point|secrete a powerful venom}}; unlike his female counterpart, the size of Nidoran's horns are indicative of the strength of the venom. He also has unique muscles around his ears, which permit them to be moved in any direction.

-===Behavior===
+====By [[TM]]/[[TR]]====
-Nidoran♂ are fairly docile Pokémon, although they tend to be more alert and nervous than their female counterparts, constantly listening for the sounds of approaching enemies with their large ears. Their potent venom is used primarily as a defense, and most likely evolved to counteract their small body size.

 ==Trivia==
-* Nidoran was the first Pokémon to feature gender differences, and even gender; 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 separate 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.
-** A Nidoran♀ {{pkmn|Egg}} does, however, have a chance of hatching into a Nidoran♂.
+* Despite the addition of genders in all 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.
-* Nidoran♂'s {{pkmn2|Shiny|alternate coloration}} is similar to {{p|Nidoran♀}}'s normal coloration.
+** When an {{pkmn|Egg}} is produced from Nidoran and Ditto parents, the gender ratio of the Egg favors the gender of the non-Ditto parent by an unknown margin.
-* Nidoran♂ and {{p|Nidorino}} share the same [[species]] name with their female counterparts {{p|Nidoran♀}} and {{p|Nidorina}}. They are all known as Poison Pin Pokémon.
+** A Nidoran♀ {{pkmn|Egg}} has a chance of hatching into a Nidoran♂ when bred with a non-Nidoran♂ compatible father.
-* Due to the fact that his gender, ♂, is included in his name, checking Nidoran♂'s summary from [[Generation II]] onward will display as if he were genderless if he does not have a nickname. If his nickname is anything other than "Nidoran♂", his gender will appear as normal.
+* Nidoran♂'s {{Shiny}} color scheme is similar to {{p|Nidoran♀}}'s normal coloration. The same goes for Nidoran♀ .
-* All of Nidoran♂'s Pokédex entries mentions his large ears except the one featured in {{game3|Gold and Silver|Gold|s}}, {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|HeartGold|s}} and {{g|Stadium 2}}.
+* Nidoran♂ shares its {{pkmn|category}} name with {{p|Nidorino}}, {{p|Nidoran♀}}, {{p|Nidorina}}, {{p|Poipole}}, and {{p|Naganadel}}. They are all known as the Poison Pin Pokémon.
-* Nidoran♂ is one of eight Pokémon whose name has a non-alphabetic character in it, the others being {{p|Nidoran♀}}, {{p|Farfetch'd}}, {{p|Mr. Mime}}, {{p|Porygon2}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Mime Jr.}} and {{p|Porygon-Z}}.
+* 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 be based on a {{wp|porcupine}} or a {{wp|rabbit}}, {{wp|mouse}}, or even a {{wp|hamster}}, as seen by their aggressive nature towards one another.
+Nidoran♂ appears to draw inspiration from {{wp|rabbit}}s  and {{wp|porcupine}}s, with aspects of {{wp|venomous mammal}}s. However, anatomically 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 Nidorino and Nidoking). 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.
 ====Name origin====
-Nidoran♂ may be derived from ''needle''. It may also come from ''{{wp|cnidocyte}}'', a type of venomous cell responsible for the stings delivered by stinging animals, most notably jellyfish. Alternatively, it may be based on 二 ''ni'' (two) or 二度 ''nido'' (two times/two degrees) referring to the two distinct evolutionary lines with similar names and traits. Also, the Japanese word ''ran'' is translated as ''orchid'' in English. {{wp|Orchid}}s are flowers that can be purple or blue, these being the same colors as the male and female evolutionary forms of Nidoran, respectively. The ''♂'' is an indication of its male gender.
+Nidoran♂ may be derived from ''needle'' with ♂ as an indication of its male gender. It may also involve 二度 ''nido'' (twice). It may be derived from ''nidor'', a pungent and unpleasant odor.
