Design-wise, all of these Pokémon have big round heads, black button-like eyes (except for {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Raichu}}, whose eyes are blue), and electric pouches on their cheeks. All are in the {{egg|Fairy}} or {{egg|Field}} [[Egg Group]]s, except for certain special forms and {{p|Pichu}}, which are in the {{egg|No Eggs Discovered}} Egg Group. Additionally, all of these Pokémon have English names very close to being pure transliterations of their Japanese names. 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. | Design-wise, all of these Pokémon have big round heads, black button-like eyes (except for {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Raichu}}, whose eyes are blue), and electric pouches on their cheeks.

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.
