Appearances

Anime

Emily had a Nidoran♀ that evolved into a Nidorina in Wherefore Art Thou, Pokémon?.

Trivia

Nidoran♀'s shiny color appears to be Nidoran♂'s regular color.
Despite lacking genders in Generation I, Nidoran♀ and Nidoran♂ were completely different species.
Nidoran♀ is one of the nine Pokémon to have a non-alphabetical character in its name, along with Nidoran♂, Farfetch'd, Mr. Mime, Ho-Oh, Porygon2, Mime Jr., Porygon-Z, and Flabébé.
Nidoran♀ is the only Pokémon to lose the ability to breed after it evolves.

Origins

The name Nidoran♀ follows the same conventions as those of the other Pokémon in the Nidoran family. Nido (二度, Nido?) is the Japanese word for "two times" or "two degrees," which is indicative of the differences in the genders of the species. Nīdoru (ニードル, Nīdoru?) is also the Romanticized pronunciation of "needle", which Nidoran are covered in. "Ran" may derive from pacarana, a South American type of rodent.
