Togedemaru may be based on a {{wp|New World porcupine}}, given how it can stiffen its triangular body spines. It could also be based on a {{wp|hedgehog}}, a {{wp|chinchilla}}, or a {{wp|Ryukyu spiny rat}}. According to its Pokédex entry, the tail-like spike on its back serves as a {{wp|lightning rod}}. When Togedemaru's spines come out, marks may appear on its cheeks that resemble North American and Japanese electrical outlets. | Togedemaru may be based on a {{wp|New World porcupine}}, given how it can stiffen its triangular body spines.

The electric rodent design may come from tradition of creating a variant of Pokémon franchise main mascot, {{p|Pikachu}}, in every generation. | ||
