    Every Pokémon is either male, female, or genderless. Most of them can be both male and female, which is based on their gender ratio. The majority has an equal 1/1 ratio, but it can vary up to 1/7. And some of those ratios just don't really make sense... What Pokémon would you prefer to have a different gender ratio?

    For me, it's basically all Pokémon that have a 1/7 ratio. Starters, fossils, Eevee... Most Eeveelutions look more feminine in my opinion, yet they are male 87.5% of the time... That's just weird to me.

    Also, Hitmonchan wears a skirt, yet can only be male. This has always bothered me -_-

    Azurill and Marill are strange Pokémon in terms of gender ratios.
    Azurill has a 25% chance to be female, while Marill has a 50% chance for each gender.
    This means that Azurill can change genders while evolving (o_o)
    Very weird, and yeah, just felt it was relevant on the topic of strange gender ratios.
    It's a shame it's so hard to get a female eevee :(
    Also, I wonder why all the starters have such a low chance of being female.

    The Togepi line has a 87.5% chance of being male which is odd because Togekiss looks feminine to me.
    Granbull has a high chance of being female despite it looking rather masculine.

    There are plenty of others as well but those are the ones that stand out to me.

    Granbull has a weird gender ratio but Snubbull does look a bit more feminine to me, so it's not too bad.

    Eh, I think Hitmonchan is probably in some special fighting outfit or something... I don't know... And some of the above mention ratios like Togepi, Eevee,and Fossils don't make much sense in my eyes. Honestly, are the forces in the Pokémon world sexist about turning certain Pokémon into fossils... or maybe they died out originally cause there weren't enough females for the ancient Pokémon to mate with and thus x_x x_x

    I'm confused why starter ratios are so bad though. I just want a female Fennekin. ;_____;

    And fossils. Just, why? Amaura/Aurorus deserve at least 50/50.

    I think all Pokémon should have a 50% chance to be male and a 50% chance to be female.

    Delphox and Braixen have tiny female ratios but they seem feminine to me because of their dress-shaped bodies and the fact that they seem to be based on witches. :P

    And the fact that Lopunny has a 50% chance of being male O_O

    I'm going to comment on the Togekiss line's percentage. 7/8 of the time it is male while being a very feminine Pokémon (at least to me).

    It's so weird that most Pokémon that "look femenine" like the Eeveelutions, have a higher male ratio. I do think they should balance the ratios a bit like other Pokémon that do have that ratio.

    I'd also like to mention that the Machop line has a small female ratio yet they have male-like bodies.
