Nidoqueen (Japanese:ニドクインNidoqueen) is a dual-typePoison/GroundPokémon introduced inGeneration I.

Itevolves fromNidorina when exposed to aMoon Stone. It is the final form ofNidoran♀. Nidoqueen is related to theNidoran♂ line, serving asNidoking'sfemale counterpart.

Biology

Nidoqueen is a large, bipedal bluemammalianPokémon with distinctreptilian features. Its body is encased with extremely hard scales that serve as excellent protection from any attack and stand up when Nidoqueen is excited or provoked. It has a blunt snout, narrow brown eyes, and large ears with brown insides. There is a small horn on its forehead, a single spine on each ear, and a line of toxic spikes running down its back. Each hand has three short claws, and each foot has two claws. Its lower jaw, the front of its abdomen, and two plates on its chest are cream-colored. It has a thick, powerful tail. Nidoqueen is a female-only species. As stated inAn Illustrated Book of POCKET MONSTERS, it cannot layEggs as it loses the ability to do so uponEvolution.

Nidoqueen can be quite fierce and is very protective of its young. This Pokémon is at its strongest when it is defending its young, and it will try to seal the entrance to its burrow to protect them. It also places its young in the gaps between the spines on its back, which never release poison when the children are present. Nidoqueen is more adept at being defensive than offensive. Nidoqueen's armor-like scales allow it to defend its children from any attack. When in contact with foes, it can poison them withthe spikes on its back or cause small tremors by slamming the ground. It is also adept at sending foes flying with harsh tackles, and it uses its hefty bulk to execute powerful moves. Being the result of an Evolution viaEvolution stone, Nidoqueen is rarely found in the wild. However, they can be found insavannas and plains.
