The '''gender''' of an individual Pokémon in the anime is confirmed via explicit, verbal confirmation by a character; via the use of {{m|Attract}} or {{a|Cute Charm}}; or from clear visual [[gender differences]]. Traditional gender stereotypes (such as a Pokemon wearing a pink bow or a dress) cannot be used to infer an individual Pokemon's gender. | The '''gender''' of an individual Pokémon in the anime is confirmed via explicit, verbal confirmation by a character; via the use of {{m|Attract}} or {{a|Cute Charm}}; or from clear visual [[gender differences]].

Pokémon with very minor gender differences (such as {{p|Toxicroak}}) should not be assigned a gender based on visual differences. For species with clear visual gender differences, inferences can always be made from these if the species was introduced in Generation IV or later. | Pokémon with very minor gender differences (such as {{p|Toxicroak}}) should not be assigned a gender based on visual differences.
