Jump to: navigation, search

Differences between the genders of many species are apparent in the Pokémon world, where some species of Pokémon have a noticeable difference between the male and female of the species. With the exception of the differences between male and female Nidoran, gender differences were introduced in Generation IV.

These differences are a reference to sexual dimorphism commonly seen in many real lifeforms and may offer some clues to their biology and behavior.
