Togedemaru, the Roly-Poly Pokémon, is an Electric/Steel-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VII. Native to the Alola region, Togedemaru is often found in mountainous areas or on Ula'ula Island, where it rolls around like a ball. Its diet primarily consists of berries, which it gathers by using its tail to attract them. Togedemaru's unique behavior involves curling into a ball and using its fur spikes, which are actually modified needles, to discharge electricity. This discharge can be indiscriminate, affecting anything in its vicinity. In the games, Togedemaru is known for its ability to learn various electric and steel moves, making it a versatile combatant. In the anime, it often appears as a loyal companion, most notably as Sophocles' partner in Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon, showcasing its playful yet powerful nature. Its design is inspired by hedgehogs and porcupines, integrating the concept of a "roly-poly" toy, giving it a distinct charm and cultural significance as a cute yet formidable electric creature.
