- Nidoking’s ears positioned at a wider angle than Nidoqueen’s and have more spikes on them.
- Nidoking has spikes on its jaw but Nidoqueen does not.
- Nidoking’s shoulder takes on a taller circular shape whereas Nidoqueen’s is oval
- Nidoking’s chest plating has a different shape and angle than Nidoqueen’s
- Nidoking has teeth while Nidoqueen does not.
- Nidoking has one toe on each foot while Nidoqueen has two.
The closest we can compare these two are Angemon and Angewomon, where they share similar design appearances but clearly have gendered differences.
Mimikyu isn’t even remotely close to being a Pikachu. We don’t see its true form at all and based on its egg group it isn’t even remotely biologically similar to Pikachu. That’s like comparing Betsumon to Tailmon. It’s wearing a costume. Hell, Mimikyu’s tail is just a carved piece of wood. Mimikyu doesn’t even have its own tail as far as we know.
Dedenne has unique properties such as the shape of its whiskers and tail, and it needing to sleep constantly to charge electricity compared to pther Electric type Pokémon. Just because it has a similar coloration to Kantonian Raichu doessn’t make it a clone.
That’s like saying Gammamon and Hackmon are identical.
