List of Pokémon with gender differences: Difference between revisions

[[File:Pyroar gender difference anime.png|thumb|right|230px|{{p|Pyroar}}'s gender difference in the anime, with the male and Female respectively]]

Some species of Pokémon have '''differences in appearance due to [[gender]]''' in the [[Pokémon world]], with noticeable differences between the males and Females. With the exception of the differences between {{p|Nidoran♂|male}} and {{p|Nidoran♀|Female}} Nidoran (which are considered distinct species), gender differences were introduced in [[Generation IV]].

Later generations would introduce far fewer Pokémon with gender differences, but those that were introduced varied much more drastically in appearance. Two Pokémon, {{p|Meowstic}} and {{p|Indeedee}}, even have different {{DL|Ability|Abilities}} and learn different [[move]]s through [[level]]ing, [[TM]]s and [[breeding]] depending on their gender. Male and Female Indeedee even have different [[stats]]. However, most Pokémon look identical despite their gender.

* [[Generation VII]] is the only generation that did not introduce any Pokémon that have gender differences. However, it did introduce a Pokémon that can only evolve if it is a specific gender (only Female {{p|Salandit}} can evolve into {{p|Salazzle}}) and a new gender difference for {{p|Eevee}} that was exclusive to the player's {{ga|partner Pokémon|partner}} Eevee.

* Despite not having any gender differences, the [[Rotom Pokédex]] will display separate models for male and Female {{p|Spinda}}.
