Nidoran♀ (Japanese: ニドラン♀ Nidoran♀) is a Poison-type Pokémon.
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 the Eggs it lays can contain either Nidoran♀ or Nidoran♂. However, it is the only one of its line that can breed, as Nidorina and Nidoqueen are part of the Undiscovered Egg Group.

Trivia
- Nidoran were the first Pokémon to feature gender, and even gender differences; however, their differences are much greater than those of most later Pokémon.
- 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.
- 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♀ and its evolution share their category with their male counterparts Nidoran♂ and Nidorino. 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 genderless 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 porcupine, rabbit (perhaps an Amami rabbit, specifically), mouse, hamster, or some combination thereof.
Name origin
Nidoran♀ may be derived from needle. It may also come from 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. Orchids 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 female gender.
