The Nidoran family is a special case in terms of gender. Introduced in [[Generation I]], before gender was known for all Pokémon, {{p|Nidoran♀}} and {{p|Nidoran♂}} are considered separate species of Pokémon and indeed have many differences, from appearance to moveset. However, all Nidoran Eggs have a 50/50 chance of hatching into either Nidoran♀ or Nidoran♂, confirming that they are related.

The following is a list of all Pokémon that are either 100% male or 100% female and have not been mentioned in an above section. In particular, these Pokémon have no explicit relation to a Pokémon of the opposite gender through evolution or breeding.

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.

In [[Kanto]], [[O-Hina Town]] hosts a female-exclusive tournament during the annual [[Princess Festival]]. In [[Kalos]], [[Pokémon Performer]]s are exclusively female, as only girls may participate in [[Pokémon Showcase]]s.

*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 [[statistic|stat]] (unless they were a member of an {{cat|Female-only Pokémon|all-female species}}, such as {{p|Smoochum}}), because female Pokémon were given the lower portion 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.
