TogedemaruCosmic Eclipse #74 Pokémon Card

Togedemaru is a dual Electric/Steel-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VII, native to the Alola region. Known as the Roly-Poly Pokémon, its unique typing gives it resistances to many common attacking types while also having a distinct set of weaknesses. Togedemaru is characterized by its round, spiny body and small, mouse-like face. It often curls into a ball and rolls, using its sharp fur spikes to defend itself or to gather static electricity. In the wild, Togedemaru are frequently found in mountainous areas and electric power plants, where they can easily absorb electricity. Their diet primarily consists of mineral-rich rocks, which help them maintain their metallic spikes. In the anime, Togedemaru gained prominence as Sophocles' partner Pokémon, showcasing its playful yet determined personality and its signature ability to absorb and redirect electricity. Its design draws inspiration from porcupines and hedgehogs, combined with the concept of a lightning rod, making it a memorable and endearing Pokémon. Its role in the games often involves being a fast, physically offensive Pokémon with access to powerful Electric and Steel-type moves, often seen as a cuddly but dangerous companion.
