In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]], a male Pokémon has increased critical hit ratio. A female Pokémon has increased evasion.

===Individual Values in Generation II===
{{main|Individual Values #Gender}}
In Generation II games (Gold/Silver/Crystal and Stadium 2), male Pokemon have higher attack than female Pokemon of the same species. The male Pokemon in mixed-gender species all have [[Individual Values]] for [[Statistic #attack|attack]] that are in the upper portion of the possible range, while female Pokemon have Individual Values for attack in the lower portion of the range. The cutoff between the Individual Values for attack that female and male Pokemon can have depends on the gender ratio of the species, with species that are mostly female allowing female Pokemon to have a higher maximum Individual Value for attack.

Some Trainer classes have male and female variants, such as {{tc|Swimmer}}s, while others appear to be counterparts, such as {{tc|Camper}}s and {{tc|Picnicker}}s. Others, such as [[Kimono Girl]]s, have no opposite-gender counterpart.

Certain in-game events may differ depending on the player character's gender. For example, in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], [[Curtis]] will be encountered if the player is female, and [[Yancy]] if the player is male. In {{g|X and Y}} and {{g|Sun and Moon}}, availability of different [[clothing]] is gender-specific. Also, only the female player character has the option of changing their lip color using lipstick stored in a {{DL|List of Key Items in Generation VII|Makeup Bag}} in Pokémon Sun and Moon.

[[File:Nidogender.png|thumb|250px|right|Nidoran♀ and Nidoran♂ show genders twice in [[Generation II]], but only once in [[Generation III]] onward]]
*In Generation II, a Pokémon's gender was determined through its Attack [[Individual values|IV]]. Due to this, a female Pokémon could never have a maximized Attack stat, unless they were a member of an all-female species such as Nidoran♀ or Smoochum, because female Pokémon were given the lower half of the IV range. This also prevented female Pokémon of a {{cat|Pokémon with a gender ratio of seven males to one female|species with a gender ratio of seven males to one female}}, such as [[starter Pokémon]] or {{p|Eevee}}, from being {{Shiny}}, due to that ''also'' being based partly on the Attack IV. From [[Generation III]] onward, neither of these traits are determined by IVs, allowing for Pokémon species with two genders to have females with maximized Attack and simultaneously retain their chances of being Shiny.

*Although its English and [[List of French Pokémon names##102 - #151 Exeggcute - Mew|French]] names suggest that it is exclusively male, {{p|Mr. Mime}} may be of either gender. This is due to the fact that it was given its name prior to the introduction of gender to the series.

*Since {{p|Azurill}} has a different gender ratio than {{p|Marill}} and {{p|Azumarill}}, one in three female Azurill will be male after evolving into Marill, dependent on the [[personality value]] of the Azurill in question, though this no longer happens in [[Generation VI]].
