Nidoqueen (Japanese: ニドクイン, Hepburn: Nidokuin) (NEE-doe-kween) is a Poison/Ground-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I that is the female counterpart to Nidoking.

Biology

Nidoqueen is a large Pokémon, with features resembling a rhino, mouse, and reptile. She is largely blue in color. Nidoqueen has large round ears and two small horns in the center of her head. Her jaw is cream colored. Nidoqueen also has short legs and arms with white claws (two on her feet and three on each paw) and a large bulky tail. Nidoqueen also has a couple of armor-like scales on her body. Alongside the jaw, other parts include two armored lumps on Nidoqueen's upper chest and a segmented piece on the abdomen.

Physiology

Nidoqueen is a large, powerful, bipedal Pokémon. They have thick yellow armor plates all over them. Her horn is smaller than Nidoking's, but is still strong and produces large quantities of concentrated venom. Nidoqueen can use powerful moves such as Body Slam to paralyze foes and then finish them off with Mega Punch or Iron Tail.

Behavior

They lead Nidoran families alongside Nidoking. These Pokémon are famously motherly, willing to defend their young with their lives. These Pokémon will block the entrances to their burrows using their bodies, with their venomous spines facing outwards, in order to defend their young. Nidoqueen are also known to set off earth-shaking tremors to scare potential attackers from their burrows. Younger Nidoran♀ and Nidorina look up to Nidoqueen—it is not uncommon for wandering Nidorina to end up lost in the mountains while searching for Moon Stones to evolve like their mothers. Nidoqueen placate crying offspring by placing them between the spines on their backs; these spines never secrete venom while the young are nearby.

Natural abilities

Nidoqueen can have either the ability Poison Point where a foe has 30% chance of being poisoned or Rivalry where if the foe is the same gender Nidoqueen's attack will be higher.

Evolution

Nidoqueen is the evolved form of a Nidorina by use of a Moon Stone, and is the final form of a Nidoran♀.

Supporting

Minor

• Danny's Nidoqueen
• Andi's Nidoqueen
• Queenko's Nidoqueen

Trivia

• Despite having genders, Nidoqueen, along with its pre-evolution Nidorina, are unable to breed, however their male counterparts Nidorino and Nidoking can breed and so can both genders of Nidoran.
• It is shown in Mewtwo Returns that there are "baby" Nidoqueen.
• Strangely, from Generation II to Generation III, Nidoqueen had teeth.
• Excluding alternate forms, Nidoqueen is the first Pokémon in Pokédex order who's secondary type is not Poison nor Flying.

Etymology

Nidoqueen is a combination of needle and queen. It could also come from cnidocyte, a cell that reacts to venom.

Nidoqueen's Japanese name, Nidokuin, is a corruption of her English name. It also contains the word doku (poison).

Origin

Nidoqueen is based on various mammals such as rhinoceroses or rabbits as well as being based on some reptiles, mostly theropod dinosaurs. The "armor" on her chest and lower-body clearly resemble a bikini; this is especially notable in the Pokémon's shiny form, where the plates are a pinkish hue.
