Dedenne (Japanese: デデンネ, HepburnDedenne) (deh-DEN-nay[1]) is an Electric/Fairy-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VI.

Dedenne concept art

Concept artwork of Dedenne.

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.

Pokédex entries[]

  • X

    Its whiskers serve as antennas. By sending and receiving electrical waves, it can communicate with others over vast distances.

  • Y

    It uses its tail to absorb electricity from power plants or from outlets in houses, and then it fires the electricity from its whiskers.

  • Omega Ruby

    Its whiskers serve as antennas. By sending and receiving electrical waves, it can communicate with others over vast distances.

  • Alpha Sapphire

    It uses its tail to absorb electricity from power plants or from outlets in houses, and then it fires the electricity from its whiskers.

  • Ultra Sun

    It sneaks into people’s homes and steals electricity from their outlets. When your electric bill seems off, it’s the handiwork of this rascal.

  • Ultra Moon

    Its upper whiskers are sensors that survey its surroundings. Its lower whiskers are organs that shoot electricity.

  • Sword

    A Dedenne's whiskers pick up electrical waves other Dedenne send out. These Pokémon share locations of food or electricity with one another.

  • Shield

    Since Dedenne can't generate as much electricity on its own, it steals electricity from outlets or other electric Pokémon.

Trivia[]

  • In Super Smash Bros., Dedenne is one of the Pokémon that can be freed from Poké Balls. During this time, it uses the move Discharge.
  • Dedenne is tied with Morpeko with the smallest Pikaclone, as it is only 8 inches tall.
  • Dedenne ranked 1st, among all Kalos Pokémon and all Pokémon altogether, in the Pokémon of the Year 2021 poll by The Pokémon Company.

Origin[]

Dedenne is based on a hamster or woodland jumping mouse. Its type could be a reference to La petite souris (the little mouse), the French version of the Tooth Fairy and is depicted as a mouse. Its whiskers resemble analogue TV antennae. Its tail resembles a chewed electrical chord, as mice are often considered pests for chewing on wires.

Etymology[]

Dedenne comes from 電気 (denki, electricity) and antenne (French for "antenna").
