Nidoran♂ (Japanese: ニドラン♂, HepburnNidoran♂) (NEE-doe-ran[1]) is a Poison-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I and is the male counterpart to Nidoran♀.

Biology[]

Physiology[]

Nidoran♂ is a small, rabbit-based Pokémon with large ears, whiskers and front teeth. They are covered with spines, primarily on their back, which can release potent poisons if Nidoran♂ is threatened. Nidoran♂ have a larger forehead horn than their female counterparts, Nidoran♀. He has darker spots all over his body.

Behavior[]

Like females, males are shy and try to avoid fights, only using their venom to defend themselves as necessary when confronted. However, they will risk their lives to defend females that they are enamored with. Nidoran♂ are herbivores and consume plants as their main source of food, and can even devour toxic ones without any ill effects; some scientists even believe that Nidoran♂ gather their poison from such plants.

Natural abilities[]

His large horns can secrete a powerful venom, unlike his female counterpart, the size of the horns is indicative of the strength of the venom. He also has unique muscles around its ears, which permit them to be moved in any direction.

Evolution[]

Nidoran♂ evolves into a Nidorino at level 16. Nidorino evolves into Nidoking, by use of a Moon Stone.

Goh Nidoran♂

Goh's Nidoran♂.

Nidoran♂ with its counterpart, Nidoran♀, were featured in the episode Wherefore Art Thou, Pokémon? . A young boy named Ralph owned a Nidoran♂ which evolved into a Nidorino after kissing his friend Emily's Nidoran♀.

Trivia[]

Origin[]

Nidoran♂ is mostly based on small mammalian animals, mainly mice, rabbits, or porcupines. It may also be based on some venomous mammals, mainly the insectivore types. The two Nidorans altogether seem to be based on the concept of sexual dimorphism in which two genders of the same animal species have two very different appearances.

Etymology[]

Nidoran♂ may come from cnidocyte (a type of cell responsible for the venom in stinging animals) and ran (orchid in Japanese, orchids can be either blue or purple, just like the colors of the two Nidorans). It may also derive from needle. ♂ signifies it being an only-male species.
