SPEED 0; TOGEDEMARU IS A SPHERICAL, RODENT-LIKE POKÉMON. MOST OF ITS FRONT IS WHITE, WHILE ITS BACK IS PRIMARILY GRAY. IT HAS BLACK EYES, A SHORT POINTED SNOUT WITH A BLACK NOSE, ROUNDED EARS, AND A CIRCULAR, YELLOW MARKING ON EACH CHEEK. SCATTERED ACROSS ITS BACK ARE 14 FUR SPIKES THAT APPEAR AS YELLOW AND BROWN TRIANGULAR MARKINGS. WHEN ATTACKING, SURPRISED, OR AGITATED THESE SPIKES WILL STAND STRAIGHT UP. THERE IS A TAIL-LIKE NEEDLE ON THE BACK OF ITS HEAD. THE NEEDLE IS GRAY WITH A YELLOW TIP AND IS SHAPED LIKE A LIGHTNING BOLT. ADDITIONALLY, IT HAS STUBBY ARMS AND LEGS. THE SPINY FUR ON ITS BACK IS NORMALLY AT REST. WHEN THIS POKÉMON BECOMES AGITATED, ITS FUR STANDS ON END AND STABS INTO ITS ATTACKERS.
THE LONG HAIRS ON ITS BACK ACT AS LIGHTNING RODS. THE BOLTS OF LIGHTNING IT ATTRACTS ARE STORED AS ENERGY IN ITS ELECTRIC SAC.
WHEN IT'S SURPRISED OR AGITATED, THE 14 FUR SPIKES ON ITS BACK WILL STAND UP INVOLUNTARILY.
ITS CAPACITY TO PRODUCE ELECTRICITY IS SOMEWHAT LIMITED, SO IT GETS CHARGED UP BY LETTING LIGHTNING STRIKE IT! STAT RANGE
