'''Nidoqueen''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ニドクイン''' ''Nidoqueen'') is a dual-type {{2t|Poison|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Nidoqueen is  a large, blue, mammal-like reptile Pokémon.  She has thick tail and mouse-like ears.  A horn has grown on Nidoqueen's forehead.  Nidoqueen has  spikes running down the length of her back.  Her lower-jaw, chest-plates and torso are cream-colored.
====Gender differences====
Nidoqueen is the female of the species. For the male equivalent, see {{p|Nidoking}}.
===Special abilities===
Nidoqueen have long spikes that ooze poison on contact with foes. Nidoqueen can also cause small tremors by slamming the ground.


===Behavior===
It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Nidorina}} when exposed to a [[Moon Stone]]. It is the final form of {{p|Nidoran♀}}.
Very protective of any babies, Nidoqueen is fierce.
===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Grassland Pokémon|Grassland Pokémon]]]]
Nidoqueen live in expansive hot savannas and plains.


===Diet===

{{main|Pokémon food}}


==In the anime==
==Biology==
The Nidoqueen's first appearance was in ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''. Nidoqueen was one of the Pokémon that were captured and cloned by {{an|Mewtwo}}.
Nidoqueen is a large, bipedal blue {{wp|mammalian}}  {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with distinct {{wp|reptilian}} 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.


[[Navel Island]] [[Gym Leader]] [[Danny]] owns a Nidoqueen. This Nidoqueen was shown competing against [[Ash's Lapras]] into freezing a super-heated geyser. Afterwards, this Nidoqueen helped Danny's {{p|Machoke}} and {{p|Scyther}} carve Danny's sled.
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 with {{a|Poison Point|the 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 via [[Evolution stone]], Nidoqueen is rarely found in the wild. However, they can be found in {{dl|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|savannas and plains}}.


[[Gary Oak]] has a {{TP|Gary|Nidoqueen}} that he may or may not have obtained as a Nidoran♀ or Nidorina. Gary first used his Nidoqueen to defend [[Professor Oak|his grandfather]]'s [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|lab]] from [[Team Rocket]] agents [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} in ''[[EP115|A Tents Situation]]''. Gary later used Nidoqueen in ''[[EP270|Can't Beat the Heat]]'' in the [[Johto League]]. [[Gary's Nidoqueen]] defeated [[Ash's Tauros]] and was defeated by [[Ash's Snorlax]].
===Evolution===
Nidoqueen evolves from {{p|Nidorina}} and is the final form of {{p|Nidoran♀}}.


A Nidoqueen appeared under the ownership of [[Oscar and Andi|Andi]] in ''[[AG072|The Bicker the Better]]''. Her boyfriend, Oscar, had a Nidoking.

==In the anime==
===Main series===
[[File:Queenko.png|thumb|250px|Nidoqueen in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'']]
====Major appearances====
Nidoqueen debuted in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', under the ownership of [[Fergus]]. She was captured and cloned by {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}. She also appeared in the remake ''[[M22|Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution]]'', where the exact same thing happened to her. The Nidoqueen clone was seen again in ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'', along with what appeared to be Nidoqueen babies, despite the fact that Nidoqueen cannot [[Pokémon breeding|breed]] and her unevolved form is Nidoran♀.
Nidoqueen made her main series debut in ''[[EP093|Navel Maneuvers]]'', under the ownership of [[Danny]]. She competed against [[Ash's Lapras]] in a challenge to freeze a super-heated geyser. Afterward, Nidoqueen helped Danny's {{p|Machoke}} and {{p|Scyther}} carve Danny's sled. She reappeared in flashbacks in ''[[EP098|A Way Off Day Off]]'' and ''[[EP111|Hello, Pummelo!]]''.
In ''[[EP115|A Tent Situation]]'', [[Gary Oak]] used a Nidoqueen to defend {{an|Professor Oak|his grandfather}}'s [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|laboratory]] from {{TRT}}. In ''[[EP270|Can't Beat the Heat!]]'', Gary used Nidoqueen during his match against Ash in the [[Silver Conference]]. She defeated {{AP|Tauros}} and was defeated by {{AP|Snorlax}}.
In ''[[AG072|The Bicker the Better]]'', [[Oscar and Andi|Andi]] has a Nidoqueen, while her boyfriend Oscar has a {{p|Nidoking}}. They had a [[Double Battle]] with {{Ash}} and {{an|May}}, and due to Oscar and Andi's communication with each other, they were able to defeat Ash and May with relative ease.
In the original timeline of ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', a {{m|Hypnosis|hypnotized}} [[Damos]] commanded his four Nidoqueen to attack {{OBP|Arceus|M12}} with {{m|Shock Wave}}. When Ash and {{ashfr}} traveled to the past to prevent this, [[Marcus]], the one responsible for hypnotizing Damos, managed to use the Nidoqueen again to attack Arceus.
====Minor appearances====
In ''[[PK01|Pikachu's Vacation]]'', a Nidoqueen was at the [[Pokémon Theme Park]].
In ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', a Nidoqueen sensed the disturbance caused by [[Lawrence III]].
Multiple Nidoqueen appeared in ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]''.
A Nidoqueen appeared in ''[[EP228|Extreme Pokémon!]]'', under the ownership of a participant in the [[Extreme Pokémon Race]].
In ''[[DP140|Historical Mystery Tour!]]'', Ash encountered a Nidoqueen in [[Xatu's Forest]]. In this episode, Nidoqueen was depicted with a blue jaw instead of a cream-colored one due to [[DP140#Errors|an error]].
In ''[[XY091|A Performance Pop Quiz!]]'', [[Queenko]]'s Nidoqueen competed in the [[Anistar City]] [[Pokémon Showcase]]. In ''[[XY112|Master Class is in Session!]]'', she competed in the Master Class Pokémon Showcase in [[Gloire City]].
In ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', a Nidoqueen fell under the control of {{OBP|Marshadow|M20}}.
A Nidoqueen appeared in ''[[JN136|This Could be the Start of Something Big!]]''.

{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|Hoenn}}
===Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Giovanni Nidoqueen PO.png|thumb|250px|Nidoqueen in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]
In ''[[PO01|File 1: Red]]'', a Nidoqueen was one of the Pokémon seen in [[Professor Oak]]'s introduction.
Two Nidoqueen appeared in ''[[PO03|File 3: Giovanni]]''. The first one was seen during the explanation of the [[Master Ball]]'s capabilities, and the other was sent out by [[Giovanni]] to battle [[Red's Charizard]] at the [[Silph Co.]] building. She was able to defeat Charizard, allowing Giovanni to successfully retreat.
===Pokémon Evolutions===
In ''[[PE07|The Show]]'', a Nidoqueen briefly appeared under the ownership of a {{pkmn|Trainer}} watching the [[Kimono Girl]]s' performance in [[Ecruteak City]].
===POKÉTOON===
A Nidoqueen appeared in ''[[PT03|Blossom's Dream]]''.

[[File:Nido.png|thumb|200px|Nidoqueen in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
{{adv|Red}} accidentally {{pkmn2|caught}} a Nidoqueen in ''[[PS021|Long Live the Nidoking!]]'' while attempting to catch a Nidoking.


====By [[TM]]/[[HM]]====
{{adv|Giovanni}} has a Nidoqueen, as seen in his [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} against Red in ''[[PS037|Golly, Golem!]]''. She almost defeated [[Snor]] by throwing him through the wall, but was eventually beaten by [[Pika]]'s {{m|Thunderbolt}} in ''[[PS038|Long Live the Nidoqueen!?]]''. She was later seen very briefly again in the [[Sevii Islands]], when Giovanni used her and his {{p|Nidoking}} to manhandle a biker whom {{adv|Deoxys}} had ambushed.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* One piece of information of note is that Nidoqueen cannot breed, although it is not a genderless species, and its male counterpart, Nidoking, can breed. The same is true for Nidorina and Nidorino, respectively.
[[File:Baby Nidoqueen and Baby Rhyhorn.png|thumb|250px|Baby Nidoqueen and Rhyhorn in ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'']]
* For some reason, Nidoqueen's shiny form is not the same color as her male counterpart's normal color, unlike her previous evolutions.
* Nidorina and Nidoqueen's inability to lay Eggs was established by Japanese media before breeding became a game mechanic.<ref>[[Pocket Monsters Encyclopedia]]: 「ニドラン♀の進化形だが、ニドリーナになると、卵を産む能力はなくなる。」 (''"It is the evolved form of Nidoran♀, but upon becoming Nidorina, has lost the ability to lay Eggs."'')</ref><ref>ポケットモンスター公式ファンブック ''Official Fan Book of Pocket Monsters'': 「ニドラン♀の進化形だが、卵は産めない。」 (''"It is the evolved form of Nidoran♀, but it cannot lay Eggs."'')</ref>
* Nidoqueen and her male counterpart {{p|Nidoking}} share the same [[species]] name with {{p|Rhydon}} and {{p|Rhyperior}}. They are all known as Drill Pokémon.
** Despite being in the {{egg2|No Eggs Discovered}}, Nidoqueen was shown to be capable of breeding in the TV special ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'', when a [[Cloning|cloned]] Nidoqueen and a cloned {{p|Rhyhorn}} produced Eggs containing both baby Rhyhorn and ''baby Nidoqueen'' (not baby {{p|Nidoran♀}}). In addition, several of Nidoqueen's Pokédex entries imply it's still capable of childrearing.
* The patterns on Nidoqueen's stomach resemble a two-piece {{wp|bikni}}; this is especially noticeable in her shiny form.
* Nidorina and Nidoqueen are the only two Pokémon that cannot breed even though their pre-evolved form can breed.
* Nidoqueen is the only Nidoran evolutionary line member whose {{Shiny}} color is not the same as its opposite-gender counterpart's normal color.
* Nidoqueen and its male counterpart Nidoking share their {{pkmn|category}} name with {{p|Rhydon}} and {{p|Rhyperior}}. They are all known as the Drill Pokémon. Additionally, all four are partly {{type|Ground}}s.
* In the Japanese games {{game|Red and Green|s}}, Nidoqueen [[List of Pokémon by weight|weighs]] 6.0&nbsp;kg instead of 60.0&nbsp;kg (as it does in all other games). This has no mechanical significance, as no game mechanics use weight in {{game|Red and Green|s}}.
 
===Origin===
===Origin===
It shares traits of rhinoceroses, gorillas, rabbits and porcupines.
Nidoqueen appears to share traits of {{wp|kaiju}}, {{wp|rhinoceros}}es, {{wp|gorilla}}s, {{wp|rabbit}}s, and {{wp|porcupine}}s and is most likely based on its male counterpart, Nidoking. The coverings on its chest and its lower abdomen collectively resemble a two-piece {{wp|bikini}}.


====Name origin====
====Name origin====
Nidoqueen's name may be based on the word ''needle''. Alternatively, it may be based on 二 ''ni'', two, or 二度 ''nido'', two times/two degrees, referring to there being two distinct evolutionary lines using the name with similar names and traits. The second part of its name is simply ''{{wp|queen}}'', referring to its feminine gender.
Nidoqueen may be a combination of ''needle'' and ''{{wp|queen}}''. It may also involve 二度 ''nido'' (twice).

Nidoqueen (Japanese: ニドクイン Nidoqueen) is a dual-type Poison/Ground Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

It evolves from Nidorina when exposed to a Moon Stone. It is the final form of Nidoran♀.

It is related to the Nidoran♂ line, but unlike Nidoran♀, Nidoqueen cannot breed.

Biology

Nidoqueen is a large, bipedal blue mammalian Pokémon with distinct reptilian 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.

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 with the 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 via Evolution stone, Nidoqueen is rarely found in the wild. However, they can be found in savannas and plains.

Evolution

Nidoqueen evolves from Nidorina and is the final form of Nidoran♀.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's Evolution in the games, refer to Game data→Evolution data.)

In the anime

Main series

Nidoqueen in Pokémon the Series

Major appearances

Nidoqueen debuted in Mewtwo Strikes Back, under the ownership of Fergus. She was captured and cloned by Mewtwo. She also appeared in the remake Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution, where the exact same thing happened to her. The Nidoqueen clone was seen again in Mewtwo Returns, along with what appeared to be Nidoqueen babies, despite the fact that Nidoqueen cannot breed and her unevolved form is Nidoran♀.

Nidoqueen made her main series debut in Navel Maneuvers, under the ownership of Danny. She competed against Ash's Lapras in a challenge to freeze a super-heated geyser. Afterward, Nidoqueen helped Danny's Machoke and Scyther carve Danny's sled. She reappeared in flashbacks in A Way Off Day Off and Hello, Pummelo!.

In A Tent Situation, Gary Oak used a Nidoqueen to defend his grandfather's laboratory from Team Rocket. In Can't Beat the Heat!, Gary used Nidoqueen during his match against Ash in the Silver Conference. She defeated Tauros and was defeated by Snorlax.

In The Bicker the Better, Andi has a Nidoqueen, while her boyfriend Oscar has a Nidoking. They had a Double Battle with Ash and May, and due to Oscar and Andi's communication with each other, they were able to defeat Ash and May with relative ease.

In the original timeline of Arceus and the Jewel of Life, a hypnotized Damos commanded his four Nidoqueen to attack Arceus with Shock Wave. When Ash and his friends traveled to the past to prevent this, Marcus, the one responsible for hypnotizing Damos, managed to use the Nidoqueen again to attack Arceus.

She almost defeated Snor by throwing him through the wall, but was eventually beaten by Pika's Thunderbolt in Long Live the Nidoqueen!?. She was later seen very briefly again in the Sevii Islands, when Giovanni used her and his Nidoking to manhandle a biker whom Deoxys had ambushed.

A Nidoqueen appeared in a flashback along with Nidoking while the Day-Care Couple was reminiscing about the times they had raising Pokémon in Gligar Glide.

A Nidoqueen was seen in a Poké Ball at Professor Oak's Laboratory in Cherrygrove City in Off Course with Corsola.

Green had a Nidoran♀ that later evolved into a Nidorina. In Give It Your Best, Blastoise, she evolved into Nidoqueen to provide support for Blasty's Hydro Cannon alongside her Granbull and Jiggly.

Trivia

Baby Nidoqueen and Rhyhorn in Mewtwo Returns
  • Nidorina and Nidoqueen's inability to lay Eggs was established by Japanese media before breeding became a game mechanic.[1][2]
    • Despite being in the No Eggs Discovered Group, Nidoqueen was shown to be capable of breeding in the TV special Mewtwo Returns, when a cloned Nidoqueen and a cloned Rhyhorn produced Eggs containing both baby Rhyhorn and baby Nidoqueen (not baby Nidoran♀). In addition, several of Nidoqueen's Pokédex entries imply it's still capable of childrearing.
  • Nidorina and Nidoqueen are the only two Pokémon that cannot breed even though their pre-evolved form can breed.
  • Nidoqueen is the only Nidoran evolutionary line member whose Shiny color is not the same as its opposite-gender counterpart's normal color.
  • Nidoqueen and its male counterpart Nidoking share their category name with Rhydon and Rhyperior. They are all known as the Drill Pokémon. Additionally, all four are partly Ground-types.
  • In the Japanese games Pokémon Red and Green, Nidoqueen weighs 6.0 kg instead of 60.0 kg (as it does in all other games). This has no mechanical significance, as no game mechanics use weight in Pokémon Red and Green.

Origin

Nidoqueen appears to share traits of kaiju, rhinoceroses, gorillas, rabbits, and porcupines and is most likely based on its male counterpart, Nidoking. The coverings on its chest and its lower abdomen collectively resemble a two-piece bikini.

Name origin

Nidoqueen may be a combination of needle and queen. It may also involve 二度 nido (twice).
