* In the anime, cloned Pokémon appear to be fertile, even those that would normally not be.

* Notably, Nidoqueen was able to breed despite being part of the [[No Eggs Discovered (Egg Group)|No Eggs Discovered egg group]], meaning that it cannot breed at all. Even before the concept of breeding, the [[Pocket Monsters Encyclopedia]] states that upon evolving from Nidoran♀, {{p|Nidorina}} are unable to lay eggs. Additionally, baby Nidoqueen were shown rather than its first-stage of its evolution, Nidoran♀. Whether the cloned Nidoqueen were able to breed baby Nidoqueen is a property of cloned Pokémon or an oversight by the animators is unknown. | |||
