From [[Generation III]] onward, due to how the [[core series]] Pokémon games incorrectly determine a Pokémon's gender from its [[Personality value#Gender|personality value]], the ratios stated below are idealized approximations. From Generation III to V, Pokémon are more likely to be male than the nominal ratio; from Generation VI to VII, Pokémon are more likely to be the more common gender than the nominal ratio, with Pokémon with a 1:1 ratio being unaffected; in Generation VIII, Pokémon are more likely to be the more common gender than the nominal ratio, with Pokémon with a 1:1 ratio being more likely to be male. Pokémon which are always one particular gender are unaffected.

==Male only==
==Male only{{anchor|100}}==
These Pokémon only appear as male. As a result, these Pokémon are incapable of producing offspring of the same species without {{p|Ditto}} or a female counterpart (in the case of {{p|Nidoran♂}} family, {{p|Gallade}}, and {{p|Volbeat}}).

==1 ♀ : 7 ♂==
==1 ♀ : 7 ♂{{anchor|87.5}}==
These Pokémon normally appear as male, rarely female. This specific gender ratio is used to make it more difficult in breeding more of them since players usually get them as gifts or Fossils rather than catch them in the wild. Most starter Pokémon (except Pikachu) and all Fossil Pokémon introduced prior to [[Generation VIII]] are in this group, as well as some other Pokémon normally not found in the wild.  In addition, two Pokémon that can be found in the wild, {{p|Combee}} and {{p|Salandit}}, are in this group, likely because only the females of these species evolve, thus creating a challenge for the player to find them.
