Pawmo is a stout, bipedal, rodent-like Pokémon. Compared to Pawmi and Pawmot, its fur is almost entirely light orange, with tan colorations on its forepaws, snout, and long, fluffy tail, and green on the insides of its ears. Its face has beady brown eyes, a tiny nose, and yellow electric sacs on its cheeks. It has tufts of fur on its forehead and near its ears. Pawmo has five fingers on its forelimbs which are considerably large, and stretches down to its tiny feet. Pawmo's forepaws contain yellow pads that turn teal-blue when releasing electricity. It uses these paw pads for its signature fighting technique, where it simultaneously strikes and zaps foes with its forepaws. Pawmo are known to travel in groups. When attacked, Pawmo will be the first to fight back, defeating foes with its electricity. As mentioned in Pokémon Sleep, Pawmo will sometimes maintain its characteristic battle stance while sleeping, possibly because it is dreaming of training its fighting moves.
