[@samreaper] That's a pretty good idea, all of these Pokémon have to be holing up somewhere...

First: Since you're not a Pokémon biologist, you have no idea. Few Pokémon have aesthetic differences between genders, which I always found strange but I'm trying to be as true to the series as possible. Even if there are any, the differences are incredibly picky as well, so it's tough to tell gender unless you catch the Pokémon or if you're a veteran trainer or some kind of researcher. Feel free to assign a gender to it in your posts, though, if that makes you feel more comfortable.

Second: You wish you knew! Same thing, have to catch it to know its ability.
