Japanese: ニドラン♂ Nidoran♂

Nidoran comes from Generation 1. It belongs to the poison-type. Its evolution starts at level 16, where it first evolves into Nidorino. Nidorino then further evolves into Nidoking when exposed to a Moon Stone.

Nidoran♂ is related to the Nidoran♀ Pokémon line and breeds in Generation V. It breeds with Ditto to produce eggs. Its eggs contain both Nidoran♂ and Nidoran♀. They are mostly found in open spaces like plains and savannas.

Characteristics

Nidoran♂ is a small Pokémon. It weighs around 9.0 kilograms and is half a meter tall. It is male-only Pokémon. Nidoran has 4 legs.

It’s pinkish-violet in color, with patches all over its body. Some of its distinct features are; large ears with venomous spines, large front teeth, large spines on its back, and red eyes. The spines of its back are poisonous and its biggest weapon in case of an attack.

Nidoran♂ also has a horn on its forehead, which it uses during fights. It is very alert and is always on the lookout for approaching enemies. Its large ears aid it in doing so. It has special muscles that allow it to detect even the slightest movement and sound around.

Nidoran♂ also flaps its large ears in wing-like motion to detect noise from a distance. It uses its horns to inject poison and is a very brave Pokémon. It can risk its own life to protect its kin.
