Are there any ways to Identify female Salandit?

Question

I'm trying to find a female Salandit in Scarlet and Violet but I haven't seen any yet...I know the small female-male ratio, but are there any ways to identify salandit genders without initiating battle every time? Like a smaller neck tie-thing?

Comments

As you approach, you can hold the left trigger to focus in close.  if it's a Pokemon you've encountered before, it gives you the name and also the gender of the Pokemon, if it has one.

Super late but when I use ZL it doesn't show me the gender just the name and if I've caught it before.

Answer 1

Generation VII is the only generation that did not introduce any Pokémon that have gender differences. However, it did introduce a Pokémon that can only evolve if it is a specific gender (only female Salandit can evolve into Salazzle) and a new gender difference for Eevee that was exclusive to the player's partner Eevee.

Short answer:

No.

In Scarlet and Violet (as the comment above suggested), you can lock onto a mon by pressing the ZL button on your Switch. Also, it'll show you the gender of the mon if it has one.

As you already know, Salandit has a gender ratio of 7 males to 1 female. Just keep at it and you'll eventually find your female Salandit.

So, you can just lock onto a mon (IF YOU HAVE ALREADY CAUGHT IT) to determine its gender without initiating a battle.

Why does the answer say "no" then explain a way it is possible?

He asked if there are ways of identifying the gender of Salandit. There are none.

The ZL feature sounds perfect for OP's purposes. I don't understand why the lack of a design difference means "no" should be in big bold letters.

---

"There is no difference between male Salandit and female Salandit" is what I'm trying to say.

just pray you don't find a shiny male
