Nidoran (Female)

I was definitely looking forward to reviewing these oddballs. Before genders were officially introduced to almost all pokemon, the first generation gave us two gender-based variants on ostensibly the same monster, Nidoran, though each was treated as its own separate "species" with its own pokedex number.

The Nidorans are more than just a binary gimmick, though. While sort of rabbit-like in appearance, these critters have hairless, reptilian skin, they're covered in allegedly needle-sharp barbs, and they're venomous. They're ground/poison types, their many spines and horns injecting toxins in anything foolish enough to mess with them!
