Dedenne (Japanese: デデンネ, Hepburn: Dedenne) (deh-DEN-nay[1]) is an Electric/Fairy-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VI.
Biology[]
Physiology[]
Dedenne is a small, rodent-like Pokémon. Most of its round, pudgy body is a vibrant orange color, and it has a cream-colored belly. It has a very long, black, wire-like tail and spiny, black whiskers on its reddish-orange cheek patches. It has small oval ears that are black on the outside with cream-colored insides. Dedenne has small, black eyes, a tiny black nose, and small, sharp incisor teeth. Its feet and paws are short and stubby, with tiny digits.
Behavior[]
Dedenne send and receive electrical waves using their whiskers in order to communicate with others over vast distances, as a means to alert the location of food or electricity. They use their long cord-like tail to absorb electricity. Due to their rather weak self-generation for electricity, they tend to sneak into homes and steal electricity from people's outlets.
Natural Abilities[]
Being a member of the Pikachu-family Pokémon, Dedenne can emit electricity from its cheek pouches.
Evolution[]
Dedenne does not evolve.
