Nidoqueen #031 Nidoqueen (Japanese: ニドクイン Nidokuin) is a Poison/Ground-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I that is the female counterpart to Nidoking. Nidoqueen is better at defense than offense. With scales like armor, this Pokémon will shield its children from any kind of attack.
Nidoqueen is a large pokemon, with features resembling a rhino, mouse, and reptile. It is largely blue in color. Nidoqueen has large round ears and two small horns in the center of its head. Its jaw is cream colored. Nidoqueen also has short legs and arms with white claws (two on its feet and three on each paw) and a large bulky tail. Nidoqueen also has a couple of armor-like scales on its body. Alongside the jaw, other parts include two armored lumps on Nidoqueen's upper chest and a segmented piece on the abdomen.
Nidoqueen is a large, powerful, bipedal Pokémon. They have thick yellow armor plates all over them. Its horn is smaller than Nidoking's, but is still strong and produces large quantities of concentrated venom. Nidoqueen can use powerful moves such as Body Slam to paralyze foes and then finish them off with Mega Punch or Iron Tail.
They lead Nidoran families alongside Nidoking. These Pokémon are famously motherly, willing to defend their young with their lives.These Pokémon will block the entrances to their burrows using their bodies, with their venomous spines facing outwards, in order to defend their young. Nidoqueen are also known to set off earth-shaking tremors to scare potential attackers from their burrows. Younger Nidoran♀ and Nidorina look up to Nidoqueen--it is not uncommon for wandering Nidorina to end up lost in the mountains while searching for Moon Stones to evolve like their mothers. Nidoqueen placate crying offspring by placing them between the spines on their backs; these spines never secrete venom while the young are nearby.
Nidoqueen can have either the ability Poison Point where a foe has 30% chance of being poisoned or Rivalry where if the foe is the same gender Nidoqueen's attack will be higher.
Nidoqueen is the evolved form of a Nidorina by use of a Moon Stone, and is the final form of a Nidoran♀.
