| ===Physiology===
| | Nidoran♀ is a small, quadruped, porcupine or rodent-based Pokémon with large ears, whiskers and front teeth. Its back is covered with small toxic spines, which are thought to have been developed to counteract her small size. Nidoran♀ is the female of the species, and is noted to be the first Pokémon to denote [[gender]] differences. At the same time, its family is the only one that consists on a species for each gender. Nidoran♀ has a smaller forehead horn than her male counterpart, {{p|Nidoran♂}}. It also has lesser spines, and is of a different color. {{pkmn|Egg}}s produced by Nidoran♀ can hatch into Nidoran♂; Eggs produced by {{p|Ditto}} and a Nidoran♂, {{p|Nidorino}}, or {{p|Nidoking}} can hatch into Nidoran♀. |
