Shiny Pawmot
Pawmot's shiny swaps the orange-and-cream electric mouse for a warmer brown-and-gold palette. The golden fur tones give this fighting mouse a sun-baked look that separates it from the standard version cleanly. A B-tier shiny that rewards the 1000-step evolution grind.

Odds marked verified are cross-checked against multiple independent sources before we publish them. Where a rate is not yet confirmed we mark the row pending rather than guess a number.

Base Stats
Everything pushes toward physical damage here. Pawmot's Attack does the work, Sp. Def pays the price. But you're still getting 3 Attack EVs per KO. Tough to catch, on a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
Pawmot’s fluffy fur acts as a battery. It can store the same amount of electricity as an electric car.
Pawmot Event Distributions
Pawmot has had only a single Mystery Gift event distribution to its name.

Pawmot Guide
Use Pawmot as a sweeper. Physical side carries the damage. It outspeeds most threats,
Build your team around Iron Hands, Rotom Wash, and Pincurchin. These have the highest co-usage rates with Pawmot in competitive formats. They cover each other's weaknesses.
Iron Fist is the hidden ability. Strengthens punch-based moves to 1.2× their power. Not always the best choice. Compare it to Pawmot's regular abilities before committing.
Run Jolly on Pawmot. +Speed is what matters, and the -Sp. Atk cut doesn't hurt this set. Fits the sweeper role.
Game Availability
