Gender Differences

In the anime, gender differences don't always confirm a Pokemon's gender, dialogue would help confirm it for Bulbapedia--BigDocFan (talk) 08:34, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

That's ridiculous. In the anime, no one confirmed that Cynthia has a female Garchomp too, but by the differences in gender, we know that this is a woman. So why is the case of Gyarados different?--Modesty Elyon 23:32, 16 August 2022 (UTC)

Please refer to the Speculation policy regarding genders. Garchomp was introduced in Gen IV, so we can use its gender difference to confirm its gender, whereas Gyarados was introduce prior to Gen IV, so we can't use its gender difference to confirm its gender. In order for its gender difference to be used as confirmation, the female variant must be shown in the anime (and even then, all Gyarados that appeared before the female variant is shown must appear again afterwards). The anime has messed up in the past with Tierno's Raichu, so the anime not acknowledging Gyarados's gender difference is not out of the question.--Force Fire 03:00, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
