'''Misty's Togetic''' (Japanese: '''カスミのトゲチック''' ''Kasumi's Togechick'') was the sixth {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} acquired by {{an|Misty}} in the [[Pokémon anime|anime]], and the third she acquired within the series. Acquired in the [[Kanto]] [[region]], it was a Togepi for the majority of its journey with Misty.

==In the anime==
===History===
====[[Original series]]====
=====Kanto=====
[[File:Misty Togepi Giovanni.png|thumb|220px|Togepi being offered to Giovanni by the Team Rocket trio]]
Togepi was found as a [[Pokémon Egg]] by {{Ash}} in [[Grampa Canyon]] in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]''. 

In ''[[EP050|Who Gets to Keep Togepi?]]'', Ash, {{an|Misty}}, {{an|Brock}}, and {{MTR}} fought over the Egg and competed in a {{pkmn|battle}} tournament to determine who would be the eventual owner. When the Egg hatched into {{p|Togepi}}, the first thing it saw was Misty, and it subsequently chose her as its {{pkmn|Trainer}}, thinking that she was its mother. This was in spite of the fact that Ash officially won the tournament.

In ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'', Ash was startled by Togepi and accidentally sent it flying away, where it eventually ended up in the hands of Team Rocket. They duly presented it to {{an|Giovanni}} who was unimpressed as Togepi couldn't actually do anything remarkable at the time. Togepi managed to slip away and soon reunited with Misty.

=====Orange Islands=====
[[File:Pikachu and Togepi.png|thumb|left|220px|Togepi and Pikachu]]
Although Togepi appeared harmless, it sometimes used {{m|Metronome}} to get out of dangerous situations. The first time this happened was in ''[[EP086|Pikachu Re-Volts]]''. [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]]'s {{p|Drowzee}} was using Metronome to attack Ash and his friends. Misty's Togepi began using it, causing an explosion that sent Butch and Cassidy flying. It happened again in ''[[EP088|In the Pink]]''. A {{p|Rhyhorn}} was about to charge the group when Togepi used {{m|Metronome}} to use {{m|Teleport}}. It also used the move later in the episode to stop a {{p|Nidoking}}'s {{m|Hyper Beam}} by using {{m|Barrier}}.

=====Johto=====
Despite the fact that Misty knew Togepi could battle, she only used it one time to battle Ash. In ''[[EP151|The Totodile Duel]]'', Ash was using his {{AP|Pikachu}} to battle Misty for ownership of a {{AP|Totodile}}. Misty used Togepi, because she knew Pikachu would never attack it, as Pikachu would often babysit it. Using {{m|Charm}}, Togepi ended up causing Pikachu to forfeit the round.

In ''[[EP180|Houndoom's Special Delivery]]'', Togepi was separated from Misty and the rest of the group for some time, after it used Metronome to teleport itself away from [[James's Weezing]]. A {{p|Houndoom}} rescued it from a tree and the two became good friends, sharing a sad goodbye when it was time for Togepi to leave.
 
In ''[[EP229|An EGG-sighting Adventure!]]'', it used Metronome again to teleport [[Ash's Donphan|Ash's Egg]] away from {{TRT}}.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''====
[[File:Misty and Togetic.png|thumb|220px|Togetic and Misty]]
As Ash, Brock, {{an|May}}, and [[Max]] met Misty near the gate to the [[Mirage Kingdom]] in ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]'', Togepi was kidnapped again by [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}, who were temporarily working for [[Colonel Hansen]], a crooked Mirage Kingdom official. Colonel Hansen wanted to get his hands on Misty's Togepi so he could rule the Mirage Kingdom. Since Colonel Hansen had an impure heart, his taking over the Mirage Kingdom would destroy the [[Togepi Paradise]].

Togepi later evolved into a Togetic in ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]'' in order to protect the other Togepi. When Togetic was injured by Colonel Hansen, Misty promptly sent out her {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}} and defeated Hansen's {{p|Shedinja}} with a {{m|Flamethrower}} attack. After seeing the damage Hansen had done trying to reach the Mirage Kingdom, Misty respected her Togetic's decision to stay behind and {{pkmn2|released}} it, so it could protect the Kingdom, the Togepi Paradise, and the Togepi who lived there.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''====
Togetic appeared as a Togepi in Ash's flashback in ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]''.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''====
Togetic appeared as a Togepi in Ash, Misty, and Brock's flashback in ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]''.

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Misty Togepi crying.png|left|thumb|220px|As a Togepi, crying]]
{{bulbanews|Personality & Development: Misty's Togetic}}
As a Togepi, it was close to {{an|Misty}} ever since its hatching, and they quickly developed a relationship akin to that between a mother and her child. However, despite its adorable appearance, Togepi boasted an incredible amount of power that showed itself on occasion.

As a Togepi, it was particularly curious about the world around itself. Because of this, it was prone to walking off and getting itself and {{AP|Pikachu}}, who would always pursue it, into dangerous situations, which usually resulted in Pikachu getting hurt while Togepi walked away unharmed. It was very friendly towards other Pokémon, particularly ones that were small, young, and {{pkmn2|wild}}, such as a {{p|Sentret}} in ''[[EP133|Tanks a Lot!]]'' and, much to Misty's dislike, a {{p|Caterpie}} in ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]''. It also made friends with Pokémon who had a fearsome reputation, such as [[Tracey's Scyther]]. Again, it would be unaware of the potential dangers like {{p|Voltorb}} in ''[[EP114|The Underground Round Up]]''.

Another one of Togepi's unlikely friendships was depicted in ''[[EP180|Houndoom's Special Delivery]]'', where it was forced to say goodbye to its new friend {{p|Houndoom|Doomy}}; this showcased Togepi's ability to change hearts. It was also clever, as suggested by it recognizing [[Gligarman]] quickly in ''[[EP138|The Superhero Secret]]''. When it [[Evolution|evolved]] and assumed its new responsibility as the [[Togepi Paradise]] guardian in ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]'', Togetic was markedly more mature while maintaining its pure heart.

===Movie adaptations===
Misty's Togepi appeared in {{ma|Mirage Pokémon Lugia's Explosive Birth}} and {{ma|Emperor of the Crystal Tower: Entei}}.

===Pokémon Pocket Monsters===
Misty is shown with a Togepi in ''[[PM055|The Pokémon Banana League (Part 2)]]''. She temporarily gives {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} her Togepi when he was battling his rival {{OBP|Green|Pocket Monsters}}, as Red couldn't handle him on his own. Togepi was returned to the rightful owner after the battle was finished.

==Trivia==
* Togetic is the only Pokémon Misty has owned that is neither {{type|Water}} nor can evolve into a Water-type Pokémon.
* Togetic is the first Pokémon a {{ashfr|main character}} other than Ash or Team Rocket has {{pkmn2|released}}.
* As a Togepi, it was the first {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} to be obtained by a main character, and overall the second [[Generation II]] Pokémon to appear in the {{pkmn|anime}} after {{an|Ho-Oh}}.
** Togepi was also the first [[baby Pokémon]] owned by a main character.
* Togetic is the first Pokémon to be seen hatching from an {{pkmn|Egg}} in the anime.
* Togetic, as a Togepi, was the first [[walking Pokémon]] owned by a main character to evolve under its Trainer's ownership.
** Togepi was also the only Pokémon belonging to one of Ash's friends to evolve onscreen following its Trainer's retirement from the main cast.
* Togetic is referred to as a male in the {{pmin|Brazil|Brazilian Portuguese}} dub of several episodes. However, this is unlikely to be an indication of its actual gender, since the neutral pronoun in Portuguese language ("isso" = it) is not used to directly refer to someone or something, instead "ele" (he) or "ela" (she) have to be used even if the gender of the subject is unknown.
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, if the player brings a {{pkmn2|walking}} Togepi to the [[Cerulean Gym]], it will start to cry softly, [[List of cross-canon references|referencing]] Misty's Togepi.
* Togetic is the only main character, human or Pokémon, who has not appeared in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', due to it being released.
