Dedenne

Dedenne is an Electric/Fairy type Pokémon introduced in Generation 6.

By emitting radio waves from its antenna-shaped whiskers, it can communicate with far-off allies. Dedenne can also plug its tail into outlets to drain electricity from them.

Pokédex entries

X
Omega Ruby
Its whiskers serve as antennas. By sending and receiving electrical waves, it can communicate with others over vast distances.
Y
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 much electricity on its own, it steals electricity from outlets or other electric Pokémon.
Scarlet It’s small and its electricity-generating organ is not fully developed, so it uses its tail to absorb electricity from people’s homes and charge itself.
Violet Dedenne emit electrical waves from the whiskers on their cheeks to communicate with each other. When low on electricity, they curl up and sleep.
