Differences between the [[gender]]s of many species are apparent in the [[Pokémon world]], where some species of Pokémon have a noticeable difference between the male and female of the species beginning in [[Generation IV]].
[[File:Pyroar gender difference anime.png|thumb|250px|{{p|Pyroar}}'s gender difference in the anime, with the male (left) and female (right)]]
Although most {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} look identical regardless of [[gender]], some species have '''differences in appearance due to gender''', with noticeable differences between the males and females. With the exception of the differences between {{p|Nidoran♂|male}} and {{p|Nidoran♀|female}} Nidoran (which are considered distinct species), gender differences were introduced in [[Generation IV]].


These differences are a reference to {{wp|sexual dimorphism}} commonly seen in many real lifeforms and may offer some clues to their biology and behavior.

==Generation I Pokémon==
In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, in the [[gate]] to [[Canalave City]], [[Professor Rowan]]'s assistant upgrades the {{player}}'s [[Pokédex]] to be able to display [[List of Pokémon with form differences|form differences]], including gender differences. In later games, they are displayed from the start.

Generation IV, in addition to introducing new Pokémon with gender differences, also modified several older Pokémon to have gender differences. In most cases, the male version retained the original design while the female was altered; however, the inverse is true for {{p|Dodrio}}, {{p|Meganium}}, {{p|Xatu}}, {{p|Aipom}}, {{p|Torchic}}, {{p|Beautifly}}, {{p|Ludicolo}}, {{p|Meditite}}, {{p|Medicham}}, and {{p|Milotic}}.
 
Later [[generation]]s would introduce far fewer Pokémon with gender differences, but those that were introduced differ much more drastically in appearance. Starting in [[Generation VI]], some Pokémon even have different {{Abilities}}, [[base stats]], and/or [[move]]s they can learn depending on their gender.
 
Starting in Generation IV, certain Pokémon's [[evolution]] is affected by their gender. {{p|Burmy}} evolves into {{p|Wormadam}} if it is female or {{p|Mothim}} if it is male. Only female {{p|Combee}} and {{p|Salandit}} can evolve into {{p|Vespiquen}} and {{p|Salazzle}} respectively, with the males unable to evolve at all. Only male {{p|Kirlia}} can evolve into {{p|Gallade}}, though either gender can evolve into {{p|Gardevoir}}; similarly, only female {{p|Snorunt}} can evolve into {{p|Froslass}}, though either gender can evolve into {{p|Glalie}}. However, Combee is the only one of these Pokémon to have a visual gender difference.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*{{p|Bidoof}}, {{p|Hippopotas}}, {{p|Combee}}, {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Sneasel}}, and {{p|Snover}} are the only Pokémon to have had their gender differences shown in the {{pkmn|anime}}.
* [[Nidoran]] is the only Pokémon introduced with gender differences before the introduction of [[gender]] as a mechanic in [[Generation II]]. This makes Nidoran unique in several ways:
*All sets of starter Pokémon and their evolutions have at least one gender differences, except for the [[Generation IV]] starter Pokémon.
** It is listed as two separate species in the [[Pokédex]], one for each gender.
*** The two species share identical names besides non-alphanumeric characters, being the only two species with this distinction.
*** Prior to [[Generation VIII]], it was the only Pokémon with unique Pokédex entries for each gender.
*** Prior to [[Generation IV]], it was the only Pokémon that could produce an egg outside its own evolutionary line when bred as the female or alongside {{p|Ditto}}, as {{p|Nidoran♀}} can produce {{p|Nidoran♂}} eggs and vice versa. As of [[Generation IX]], {{p|Volbeat}}, {{p|Illumise}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, and [[regional form]]s (under certain conditions) now share this distinction.
** It has its gender listed as part of its species name.
*** Because of this, it is the only gender-known Pokémon that does not have its gender listed in the usual place during battle, unless nicknamed.
** In games without a gender mechanic such as the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] series, it often remains as the only Pokémon with gender differences.
* Some Pokémon with gender differences have unique distinctions:
** {{p|Garchomp}} is the only [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]] to have gender differences.
** {{p|Sneasel}} is the only Pokémon to have a gender difference in both its standard form and [[regional form]].
** The {{p|Torchic}} evolutionary line is the only [[first partner Pokémon]] line to have all of its members have gender differences.
** {{p|Politoed}} is the only Pokémon with gender differences from a [[List of Pokémon with branched evolutions|branched evolution line]] that evolves from a Pokémon without gender differences.
* {{t|Fairy}} is the only [[type]] that lacks a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with gender differences.
* [[Generation IV]] introduced the most Pokémon with gender differences, with a total of 31.
** It was also the first [[generation]] to introduce [[:Category:Pokémon that evolve based on gender|gender-based evolution]], and the first to introduce new gender differences to Pokémon established in previous generations.
* [[Generation IX]] introduced the fewest Pokémon with gender differences of generations that introduced Pokémon with gender differences, introducing only one.
[[File:Krookodile HZ037.png|thumb|250px|The Krookodile from [[HZ037]]]]
* [[Generation VII]] is the only generation that did not introduce any Pokémon that have gender differences. However, it did introduce a Pokémon that can only evolve if it is a specific gender (only female {{p|Salandit}} can evolve into {{p|Salazzle}}) and a new gender difference for {{p|Eevee}} that was exclusive to the player's {{ga|partner Pokémon|partner}} Eevee.
* No [[Mega Evolution]]s or [[Gigantamax]] forms have gender differences, even if other forms of the same species do.
* Despite having very prominent gender differences, {{p|Hippopotas}} and {{p|Hippowdon}} only have artwork and a menu sprite for the male of the species.
* Despite {{p|Spinda}} not having any gender differences, the [[Rotom Pokédex]] displays separate models for male and female {{p|Spinda}}, using whichever spot pattern the player caught first for each gender.
* Some Pokémon with gender differences evolve into Pokémon that do not have gender differences, namely {{p|Golbat}} evolving into {{p|Crobat}}, {{p|Gloom}} evolving into {{p|Bellossom}}, {{p|Eevee}} evolving into the [[Eeveelution]]s, {{p|Murkrow}} evolving into {{p|Honchkrow}}, {{p|Girafarig}} evolving into {{p|Farigiraf}}, {{p|Gligar}} evolving into {{p|Gliscor}}, {{rf|Hisuian}} {{p|Sneasel}} evolving into {{p|Sneasler}}, and {{p|Ursaring}} evolving into {{p|Ursaluna}}.
* Although {{p|Krookodile}} has no gender differences in the games, in [[HZ037]], a Krookodile who plays the role of "mother" in a litter of {{p|Sandile}} and {{p|Krokorok}} has pink eyelashes.
