Why are Nidorina and Nidoqueen unable to breed?
Nidorina and Nidoqueen are unable to breed because they are female-only species and are part of a unique evolutionary line, divided by Nidoran’s gender, which may have caused issues with the game’s mechanics in Gen 2. This led GameFreak to make them barren, meaning they cannot produce eggs with any partner, including Ditto.
