Nidoqueen can be quite fierce and is very protective of its young. This Pokémon is at its strongest when it is defending its young, and it 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. Being the result of an evolution via [[Evolution stone]], Nidoqueen is rarely found in the wild, though they can be found in {{dl|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|savannas and plains}}. | Nidoqueen can be quite fierce and is very protective of its young. This Pokémon is at its strongest when it is defending its young, and it will try to seal the entrance to its burrow to protect them. It also places it young on its gaps between its gap spikes which never relate poison when the children are placed on it. Nidoqueen is more adaptive at being defensive than offensive. Nidoqueen's scales like armor allow it to defend its children from any attack. When in contact with foes, it can poison them with the spikes from its back or cause small tremors by slamming the ground.

Nidoqueen (Japanese: ニドクイン Nidoqueen) is a dual-type Poison/Ground Pokémon introduced in Generation I.
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 body is encased with extremely hard scales that serve as excellent protection from any attack and stand up when Nidoqueen is excited or provoked. It has a blunt snout, narrow brown eyes, and large ears with brown insides. There is a small horn on its forehead, a single spine on each ear, and a line of toxic spikes running down the length of its back. Each hand has three short claws and each foot was two claws. Its lower jaw, the front of its abdomen, and two plates on its chest are cream-colored. It has a thick, powerful tail. Nidoqueen is a female-only species.
Nidoqueen can be quite fierce and is very protective of its young. This Pokémon is at its strongest when it is defending its young, and it will try to seal the entrance to its burrow to protect them. It also places it young on its gaps between its gap spikes which never relate poison when the children are placed on it. Nidoqueen is more adaptive at being defensive than offensive. Nidoqueen's scales like armor allow it to defend its children from any attack. 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. Being the result of an evolution via Evolution stone, Nidoqueen is rarely found in the wild, though they can be found in savannas and plains.
In the anime
In the main series
Major appearances
In Mewtwo Strikes Back, Fergus's Nidoqueen was 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♀. Fergus's Nidoqueen reappeared in Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution, a remake of Mewtwo Strikes Back, where she played the same role.
In Navel Maneuvers, Danny's Nidoqueen competed against Ash's Lapras in a challenge to freeze a super-heated geyser. Afterwards, Nidoqueen helped Danny's Machoke and Scyther carve Danny's sled. She reappeared in flashbacks in A Way Off Day Off and Hello, Pummelo!.
In A Tent Situation, Gary Oak used a Nidoqueen to defend his grandfather's laboratory from Team Rocket. In Can't Beat the Heat!, Gary used Nidoqueen during his match against Ash in the Silver Conference. She defeated Tauros and was defeated by Snorlax.
In The Bicker the Better, Andi has a Nidoqueen, while her boyfriend Oscar has a Nidoking. They had a Double Battle with Ash and May, and due to Oscar and Andi's communication with each other, they were able to defeat Ash and May with relative ease.
In the original timeline of Arceus and the Jewel of Life, a hypnotized Damos commanded his four Nidoqueen to attack Arceus with Shock Wave. When Ash and his friends traveled to the past to prevent this, Marcus, the one responsible for hypnotizing Damos, managed to use the Nidoqueen again to attack Arceus.

Trivia
- Despite its pre-evolved form Nidoran♀ and Nidoqueen's male counterpart Nidoking being able to breed, Nidoqueen and its pre-evolved form Nidorina are unable to breed.
- This also makes Nidorina and Nidoqueen the only two Pokémon that cannot breed even though their pre-evolution can breed.
- 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.
- In the Japanese games Pokémon Red and Green, Nidoqueen weighs 6.0 kg instead of 60.0 kg (as it does in all other games). This has no mechanical significance, as no game mechanics use weight in the handheld Generation I games.
Origin
Nidoqueen appears to share traits of rhinoceroses, gorillas, rabbits, mice, and porcupines. The coverings on its chest and its lower abdomen collectively resemble a two-piece bikini.
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.
