Togedemaru is a spherical, rodent-like Pokémon. Most of its front is white, while its back is primarily gray. It has black eyes, a short pointed snout with a black nose, and a circular, yellow marking on each cheek. Scattered across its back are yellow and brown triangular markings, which this Pokémon is able to extend straight up when attacking. There is a tail-like needle on the back of its head. The needle is gray with a yellow tip and is shaped like a lightning both. Additionally, it has stubby arms and legs. | Togedemaru is a spherical, rodent-like Pokémon.

Togedemaru uses the needle on top of its head to attract and gather electricity. Groups can be seen gathered with their needles standing upright, waiting to be struck by lightning on stormy days. Some Trainers use its ability to absorb electricity as strategy in battle. The opponent is coaxed into unleashing an Electric-attack, and then has that power turned against it.<ref>http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/togedemaru/</ref> | Togedemaru uses the needle on top of its head to attract and gather electricity.

Togedemaru can also curl into a ball to make its fur stand up in a ball of prickles.<ref>http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/togedemaru/</ref> | ||
