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, 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.

Prior to [[Generation VIII]], this group included 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, excluding special forms that are exclusively a single gender.


{{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.

The Pawmi family, being introduced in [[Generation IX]], have yet to be directly grouped with the electric rodents officially, though they share the same design theme and other overall similarities.
