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♀ and, when bred with Ditto in Generation V or later, 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.

Trivia
- 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.
- 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 hamsters, rabbits, mice, or – given their aggressive nature towards one another – 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).
Name origin
Nidoran♂ may be derived from needle with ♂ as an indication of its male gender. It may also involve 二度 nido (twice).
