From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
Pawmi (Japanese: パモ Pamo) is an Electric-type Pokémon introduced in Generation IX.
It evolves into Pawmo starting at level 18, which evolves into Pawmot when leveled up while outside of its Poké Ball after the player walks 1000 steps using the Let's Go! feature.[1][2]
Biology
Pawmi's forepaws discharging electricity
Pawmi is a small, quadrupedal, rodent-like Pokémon that has a body that is almost entirely orange, with cream colorations on its lower forelimbs, snout, and tail, and green on the insides of its ears. It has beady brown eyes and a tiny nose. Its forelimbs are considerably large, and it has a tuft of fur on top of its head. Pawmi can stand on its hind legs, but barely.
Pawmi has yellow underdeveloped electric sacs in its cheeks, as well as yellow pad-like organs on its forepaws that can discharge electricity. If it feels threatened, it will rub its cheeks to generate electricity, which it then delivers to its opponents by touching them with its forepaws.[3] The organs on its forepaws turn teal-blue when discharging. Pawmi's thick fur provides insulation against the cold and allows it to store electricity.[3] As mentioned in Pokémon Sleep, Pawmi will occasionally discharge electricity while sleeping, by rubbing its cheeks with its palms. It is theorized that it does this to practice generating electricity.
Evolution
Pawmi evolves into Pawmo, which evolves into Pawmot.

Trivia
Concept and development
Pawmi and its Evolutions were designed by Atsuko Nishida,[4] who was responsible for designing Pikachu and Raichu.
Origin
Pawmi appears to be based on rodents, specifically the alpine marmot, which was reintroduced in 1948 to the Pyrenees mountain range at the border of Spain and France, after its disappearance in the region following the end of the Pleistocene epoch. Pawmi may also be based on the chinchilla or the closely related viscacha — much like Pawmi, the latter has long ears and a rotund build with a reddish-brown coat. Pawmi's ability of discharging electricity from its paws may be inspired by defibrillators.
Name origin
Pawmi may be a combination of paw, palm, and mini or 鼠 nezumi (Japanese for mouse).
Pamo may be a combination of パチパチ pachipachi (onomatopoeia for electric crackling), palm, marmot, dynamo, and mho (unit of electric conductance).
