Togepi (Japanese: トゲピー Togepy) is a Template:Type2 baby Pokémon.
It evolves into Togetic via happiness, who evolves into Togekiss when exposed to a Shiny Stone.
Biology
Physiology
Togepi is a small, light yellow Pokémon with a round body that is still encased in its egg shell. Togepi do not shed their shell. It has red and blue rings on it, suggesting that its real body has the same pattern. Togepi has stubby hands and round feet with two toes each. Togepi has black eyes and five spikes on its head that somewhat seem to form a crown. It also has a semiovular and brown pads on the soles of its feet.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
A Togepi is able to siphon the positive energy of others, and release it to those in need of it. Togepi can also release poison from the spikes on its head.
Behavior
Togepi generally act childish and may be oblivious to danger, therefore extra care should be taken to keep them safe. They also have a very joyful nature. As a result, it is said that it shares its joy with those who take care of it and protect it from harm.
Habitat
Togepi are very rarely ever found in the wild. But they may be found in secluded areas.
Diet
- Main article: Pokémon food

In the manga
In the Pokémon Adventures manga
Gold receives an egg from Jasmine's Togetic, which eventually hatched into a Togepi. However, unlike regular Togepi, this one is quite violent, defeating a wild Gligar, who wanted to eat its egg, just after it was born. Also, the Togepi, named Togebo, picked up on some of Gold's gambling habits as an egg. In spite of being a baby Pokémon, it was also surprisingly powerful, being able to defeat both the Tyranitar that Lance lent to Silver and later the rampaging Dragonite that apparently belonged to the same Elite Four member. However, both times, it was injured in the process.
In spite of its strength, Lance points out that Gold never really put much trust in its abilities, and as a result it was unable to evolve until late into the HeartGold & SoulSilver arc. It then quickly evolves a second time using a Shiny Stone.
In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga
Isamu Akai owned a Togepi for several chapters of the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga, hatching it from an egg in Volume 6 and releasing it in Volume 11.
In the TCG
- Main article: Togepi (TCG)
Other appearances
When released from a Poké Ball, Togepi will use Metronome which will trigger Night Shade, Magnitude, Sing, Ice Beam, or Leech Seed.
Melee trophy information
These adorable Spike Ball Pokémon hatch from eggs given out by Professor Elm's assistant. Common superstition holds that their shells are chock-full of happiness and that they become good-luck charms when handled with kindness. It's impossible to predict which ability a Togepi will call upon when it uses its Metronome move, so you'd better be ready!
Togepi appears in the Pokémon mini game Togepi's Adventure.

Trivia
- Togepi is the second Generation II Pokémon (after Ho-Oh) to appear in the Kanto series.
- Togepi shares a number of traits with Riolu, notably that both are received as eggs from an NPC in the generation of their introduction, and when hatched, cannot breed until they have evolved.
- Its Southern Islands card's Pokédex entry states that it can secrete poison from its spikes. Despite this, it can't learn any Template:Type2 moves by level-up, and the only one it can learn is Toxic, which must be taught via TM.
- Togepi's Generation II back sprite depicts its entire body. This is rare for a Pokémon that does not Levitate. It shares this trait with Pichu.
- The Togepi that is hatched from the egg from Mr. Pokémon in HeartGold and SoulSilver will know Extrasensory, a move normally only available as an egg move.
- Togepi is one of three Pokémon (four species in total) with a seven male to one female gender ratio that has been confirmed as a female, but never a male, in the anime. It shares this trait with Ash's Bayleef (as a Chikorita and Bayleef), May's Venusaur, and Dawn's Togekiss.
- In what may be a coloring error, the upper two triangle-like markings on Togepi's back are red in its shiny back sprites from the Generation IV games, rather than blue as in every other generation.
- Togepi's eggshell is perfectly symmetrical, with the exception of the red and blue markings.
Origin
Togepi appears to be based on the concept of a baby hatchling of any of a number of species of animals. It could also possibly be based on an egg, with its evolutions based loosely on birds.
Name origin
The toge in Togepi's name is 刺, spike. It may also come from the word "toga", a article of clothing that was worn in Roman times. "Toge" may have been used to make Togepi's shell represent a toga. The "Pi" possibly comes from "piyopiyo," Japanese onomatopoeia for a bird chirping. Its name may also be a corruption of Dokkaebi, usually pronounced tokebi in Japanese, which is a mythical being of Korean folklore.
