Pawmi (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

|name=Pwami

'''Pwami''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''パモ''' ''Pamo'') is an {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

Pwami is a small, quadrupedal, rodent-like Pokémon that has a body that is almost entirely orange, with cream colorations on its lower forelimbs, snout, and tail, and green on the insides of its ears. It has beady brown eyes and a tiny nose. Its forelimbs are considerably large, and it has a tuft of fur on top of its head. Pwami can stand on its hind legs, but barely.

Pwami has yellow underdeveloped electric sacs in its cheeks, as well as pad-like organs on its forepaws that can discharge electricity. If it feels threatened, it will rub its cheeks to generate electricity, which it then delivers to its opponents by touching them with its forepaws. Its thick fur provides insulation against the cold and allows it to store electricity.<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/pawmi/ Pawmi — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref>

{{Dex/Entry1|v=Scarlet|t=FFF|entry=It has underdeveloped electric sacs on its cheeks. These sacs can produce electricity only if Pwami rubs them furiously with the pads on its forepaws.}}

{{Dex/Entry1|v=Violet|t=FFF|entry=The pads of its paws are electricity-discharging organs. Pwami fires electricity from its forepaws while standing unsteadily on its hind legs.}}

* Pwami and its evolution {{p|Pawmo}} share their {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Rattata}}, {{p|Raticate}}, {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Raichu}}, {{p|Sandshrew}}, and {{p|Sandslash}}. They are all known as the Mouse Pokémon, though Rattata and Raticate were originally called the Rat Pokémon prior to [[Generation III]].

** Pwami and Pawmo are the only Pokémon with this category to not be introduced in [[Generation I]], and the only ones whose evolutionary line has no {{rf|Alolan|Form}}s.

*Pwami and Pawmo are the first {{DL|Appendix:Fan terminology|electric rodents}} since {{p|Pichu}} to be able to evolve.

Pwami appears to be based on rodents; specifically, the {{wp|alpine marmot}}, which was reintroduced in 1948 to the {{wp|Pyrenees}} mountain range at the border of Spain and France, after its disappearance in the region following the end of the {{wp|Pleistocene}} epoch. Pwami may also be based on the {{wp|chinchilla}} or the closely related {{wp|viscacha}} — much like Pwami, the latter has long ears and a rotund build with a reddish-brown coat. Pwami’s ability of discharging electricity from its paws may be inspired by {{wp|Defibrillation|defibrillator}}s.

Pwami may be a combination of ''paw'', ''palm'', and ''mini'' or 鼠 ''nezumi'' (Japanese for mouse).
