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]].

In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, in the [[gate]] to [[Canalave City]], [[Professor Rowan]]'s assistant upgrades the player's Pokédex to be able to display [[List of Pokémon with form differences|form differences]], including gender differences.

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.
