What are the differences between male and female Pokemon in Sword and Shield?

I don't understand what you wanted to mean.

You mean female-male forms?

Depends, if you want breeding you would need a female and a male. But if your just using it for battles there might be slight form changes but has no actual difference between male-female for fights. Hope I helped!

No.......

Do you mean the difference between different genders?

Answer 1

The gender mechanic is fundamental to Pokémon breeding.

There are also gender differences between different Pokemon. Most are aesthetic only, but four (Meowstic, Indeedee, Basculegion, and Oinkologne) have differing movepools and Abilities depending on their gender. For a full list of gender differences, check this.

If the father or, starting in Generation VI, the mother knows any specific Egg Moves that the baby can learn, the baby will inherit the move.

If this would result in the baby possessing more than four moves, the moves take priority in the order listed... mother's Egg Moves, father's Egg Moves...

In most cases, if a hatched species has multiple forms (not dependent on in-battle conditions), it will often inherit the form of the mother or non-Ditto parent.

Answer 2

When most Pokemon species are in battle, their genders make a difference only if the Pokemon is affected by attract, captivate, Gmax cuddle, cute charm, or rivalry. The only species with other gender differences (that have an effect in battle) are Meowstic and Indeedee.

Depends, if you want breeding you would need a female and a male. But if your just using it for battles there might be slight form changes but has no actual difference between male-female for fights (like indeedee https://pokemondb.net/pokedex/indeedee ). Hope I helped!

Answer 4

Gender can only help in battle when using Attract, Captivate, etc. In breeding with say, a Inteleon and a Lucario, you have a higher chance of getting an egg of the same evolution line as the mother. Other differences are gender based evolutions and forms(Vespiquen, Meowstic, Indeedee just to name a few). And the abilities rivalry and cute charm are the last factors from what I know.
