Are you seeing female Raichu?

I'm on IOS so haven't been able to get the new update yet. But after reading on TSR that those who do are seeing both sexes of Raichu and Pikachu, I restarted my phone and both of my Raichu now lost the tip off their tails, so I guess they are female!

For those that don't know what this is referencing, look at gender diferences between Pikachu and Raichu

I don't have the new update yet either, but in the previous version going by the tails, all of my Pikachus are male and all of my Raichus are female. I don't have enough candy to evolve one to test if this gender split is an incredible coincidence in which Pikachus I have chosen to evolve or if Niantic just didn't realized there were gender differences when they selected the 3D models. The second seems more likely though.

Yeah same here: all male Pikachu, all female Raichu. That doesn't make sense to me ><

All Raichus have been female and all pikachu males for a while. That may change when you get the update.

Besides appearance, will there be any other way to differentiate pokemon by sex? Do any Pokemon besides Pikachu and Raichu look different depending on their gender?
