Dedenne

Dedenne is an Electric/Fairy-type Antenna Pokémon introduced in Generation VI (Kalos region), resembling a small orange-and-white rodent with large round ears and whisker-like antennae. It uses those whiskers as antennae to send and receive electrical signals, allowing Dedenne to communicate with distant companions. Because it produces little electricity itself, it draws power from outlets and other Electric-type Pokemon, and it is often grouped with the other Kalos 'Pikachu-like' Electric rodents.

The Japanese name デデンネ (Dedenne) is onomatopoeic, combining 'デンデン' (denden), a sound evoking electricity/buzzing, with the Japanese mouse squeak; many fans also link the 'デン' (den) element to '電' (den, meaning 'electric'). The repeated 'de-de' syllables suggest a small creature's chittering, while the 'ne' softens it into a cute, mouse-like name. The English name 'Dedenne' is borrowed directly from the Japanese, retaining the same playful sound rather than being translated.
