There are 13 Pokémon considered to be electric rodents, with every [[generation]] introducing at least one.  
There are 13 Pokémon considered to be electric rodents, with every [[generation]] introducing at least one. If alternate forms of {{p|Pichu}}, {{p|Pikachu}}, and {{p|Raichu}} are counted separately ([[Cosplay Pikachu]] and [[Pikachu in a cap]] variants, [[Spiky-eared Pichu]] and {{rf|Alolan}} Raichu), then by technicality, there are 29 electric rodents.


Design-wise, all of these Pokémon have big round heads, button-like eyes, and electric pouches on their cheeks. All are in the {{egg|Fairy}} or {{egg|Field}} [[Egg Group]]s, and all have English names very close to being pure transliterations of their Japanese names. Prior to [[Generation VIII]], these were the only Pokémon capable of learning {{m|Nuzzle}}; {{p|Morpeko}} is the only member that cannot learn Nuzzle.
Design-wise, all of these Pokémon have big round heads, button-like eyes, and electric pouches on their cheeks. All are in the {{egg|Fairy}} or {{egg|Field}} [[Egg Group]]s, with the [[No Eggs Discovered (Egg Group)|exception]] of Cosplay Pikachu, Pikachu in a Cap, and Pichu, and all have English names very close to being pure transliterations of their Japanese names. Prior to [[Generation VIII]], these were the only Pokémon capable of learning {{m|Nuzzle}}; {{p|Morpeko}} is the only member that cannot learn Nuzzle. Every electric rodent has a [[List of Pokémon by gender ratio|gender ratio]] of one male to one female; however, Spiky-eared Pichu and Cosplay Pikachu are exclusively female, wherreas Pikachu in a cap is exclusively male.


{{p|Pachirisu}} is the only member of this group revealed to actually be biologically related to Pikachu's evolutionary line.<ref>[[Pokédex]] entry: ''A species related to the Pikachu line. [...]'' ({{g|Legends: Arceus}})</ref> {{p|Pawmi}} is the only one (aside from Pikachu itself) to have an evolutionary line, having three stages, mirroring Pikachu — although Pikachu's evolutionary line includes a [[baby Pokémon]], while Pawmi's evolutionary line lacks one.

==Trivia==
*{{p|Emolga}} was the first electric rodent to bu dual-[[type]]. After its introduction in [[Generation V]], all subsequent [[generation]]s have introduced dual-type electric rodents.
**Every dual-type electric rodent has a type advantage against another one.
**Every unevolved dual-type electric rodent has a type immunity.
**{{p|Pawmo}} and {{p|Pawmot}} are the only electric rodents to share a type combination, and subsequently, to have a type disadvantage against two electric rodents, those being {{p|Emolga}}, {{p|Dedenne}}, and {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Raichu}}.
**{{p|Pawmi}} is the first single-type electric rodent since {{p|Pachirisu}}, being introduced five generations later.
*Emolga is the only electric rodent without a weakness to {{type|Ground}} [[move]]s, due to being part {{type|Flying}}.
*Raichu is the only electric rodent with a [[regional form]].
*{{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Morpeko}} are the only electric rodents with transformations ([[Gigantamax]] and [[Morpeko#Form data|Hangry Mode]], respectively).
**Pikachu is the only electric rodent to be a [[first partner Pokémon]] and to have a Gigantamax form.
**Morpeko is the first electric rodent since Pikachu's [[evolution]] line to have a [[signature move]] ({{m|Aura Wheel}}), and the first electric rodent since Alolan Raichu to have a [[signature ability]] ({{a|Hunger Switch}}, not counting {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}} who previously had {{a|Plus}} and {{a|Minus}} as their exclusive abilities).
*Pichu is the only electric rodent to be a [[Baby Pokémon]].
