Origins[]
It is based on various mammals such as Hamsters, Rabbits, or Mice. As well as being based on some reptiles, mostly theropod dinosaurs. Its name is possibly a combination of a parody word of needle and queen.
Trivia[]
- Despite having genders, Nidoqueen, along with its pre-evolution Nidorina, are unable to breed, due to solely being female.
- No other Pokémon have the same type combination as Nidoking and Nidoqueen.
- Despite being in the No Eggs group in the games, Nidoqueen was capable of breeding in the anime.
