Nidoran F overview
Nidoran F is a Poison type Poison Pin Pokémon and holds number #29 in the National Pokédex.
It stands 0.4 m tall and weighs 7 kg, and it was first introduced in Generation I where it is typically found in Grassland habitats.
It uses its hard incisor teeth to crush and eat berries. The tip of a female nidoran’s horn is a bit more rounded than the tip of a male’s horn. Females are more sensitive to smells than males. While foraging, they’ll use their whiskers to check wind direction and stay downwind of predators. A mild-mannered Pokémon that does not like to fight. Beware—its small horn secretes venom.
