Are male pokemon stronger than females or is it vice versa?
May. 26, 2011I noticed that alot of people have mostly male pokemon. Is that there to make it harder or something??

Back in Gen 2, a Pokemon’s gender actually used to be decided by its IVs. Males could have all 31 IVs, while females couldn’t. Essentially, it meant that females could never be as strong as a Male of the same species, in generation. Of course, this was due to file space being used quickly, so Game Freak couldn’t perfect some mechanics.
From Bulbapedia:
A Pokémon’s gender was determinedbased solely on its Attack IV whencompared to a specific value native toeach Pokémon species. If the Attack IVwas less than the gender codeassociated with the Pokémon’s species,it would be female, whereas in allother instances, the Pokémon would bemale. For species of only one gender,or those with no gender, thecalculation based on the Attack IV isignored.ignored.

Of course, Game Freak got around to fixing this in Gen 3.
No, Gender doesn’t effect anything but breeding.
