Nidoran FemaleSkyridge #82 Pokémon Card

Nidoran♀, the Poison Pin Pokémon, is a charming and distinctive creature introduced in Generation I. This quadrupedal Pokémon is characterized by its light blue fur, large ears, and prominent fangs. As a pure Poison-type, Nidoran♀ is known for its ability to secrete venom, which it uses for self-defense. Its natural habitat typically includes grasslands and savannas, where it lives in small groups, often with its male counterpart, Nidoran♂. Nidoran♀ is primarily herbivorous, foraging for berries and roots, but it can become aggressive if provoked, using its toxic barbs to deter threats. It evolves into Nidorina starting at level 16, and then into Nidoqueen when exposed to a Moon Stone, forming a unique gender-specific evolutionary line that culminates in powerful, versatile Pokémon. In the games, Nidoqueen is a formidable Special Attacker and tank, while in the anime, Nidoran♀ is often portrayed as a gentle yet protective Pokémon. Its distinct design and early introduction in the franchise have solidified its place as a recognizable and beloved Pokémon, representing the diversity of early Pokémon designs and the concept of gender differences in the Pokémon world.
