Origin

Togedemaru is likely based on a hedgehog, hamster, porcupine or a Ryukyu Spiny Rat. It continues the pattern of electric-type rodent-like Pokémon like Pikachu, Pichu, Raichu, Plusle and Minun, Pachirisu, Emolga, and Dedenne before it. It may also be a reference to Hedgeshock (a hedgehog-like robot boss with electrical powers from the video game Mega Man ZX Advent), or possibly a tongue-in-cheek reference to the webcomic "Sonichu" (named after the titular character, a fusion of Sonic the Hedgehog and Pikachu), infamous for its low-quality artwork and bizarre storylines.

Etymology

Togedemaru is the same name in every language, meaning that it has Japanese origin. It might come from "toge" (spiky), "denki" (electric), possibly "debu" (fat, referring to its chubby appearance) and "maru" (round). It could also come from "toge de maru" (spiked and round). It may also come from togenezumi, the Japanese name for the Ryukyu Spiny Rat.
