 ==Trivia==
+* {{p|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:
+** 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/alongside Ditto, as {{p|Nidoran♀}} can produce {{p|Nidoran♂}} eggs and vice-versa. As of [[Generation XI]], {{p|Manaphy}}, as well as [[Regional form]]s in 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.
