Togekiss (Japanese: トゲキッス Togekiss) is a dual-type Normal/Flying Pokémon.

It evolves from Togetic when exposed to a Shiny Stone. It is the final form of Togepi.

Biology

Physiology

Togekiss is a vaguely avian Pokémon with an egg-shaped body. It is covered in white, downy feathers and has broad, triangle-shaped wings that allow it to soar effortlessly. Interestingly, Togekiss lacks the stubby arms that its pre-evolutions had. Its underbelly is dotted with the small red and blue triangular spots that are the signature of the Togepi evolution family. Togekiss has very small feet which are set close together, making them somewhat awkward for moving about on the ground. The former spikes on its head have grown into a three-pointed crest that. The middle point is white all the way to the tip, but the left and right spikes are tipped in blue and red respectively (the reverse is true for its Shiny form).

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Togekiss learns a wide range of elemental attacks, as well as various aerial and wind-based moves. Most notably, it is able to wield Aura Sphere, along with Lucario, Mienfoo and its family, the only non-legendary Pokémon that are able to learn it.

Behavior

Togekiss are generally friendly and caring Pokémon. They tend to avoid conflict, supposedly never appearing where strife is occurring. They are also said to share blessings with those who love another. However, Togekiss are also powerful fighters capable of using a wide variety of attacks. They will protect their young, Togepi, with miraculous care. These Pokémon soar gracefully through the air, often performing tricks and aerial maneuvers.

Habitat

Togekiss are so vastly rare that many trainers do not bother trying to find one. Instead, most trainers prefer evolving their Togetic into a Togekiss with a Shiny Stone.

Pokédex entries

Episode Pokémon Source Entry DP171 Togekiss Dawn's Pokédex Togekiss, the Jubilee Pokémon and the evolved form of Togetic. It is said that Togekiss never appears where there is conflict.

In the manga

Arcade Star Dahlia is shown to own a Togekiss in the Platinum arc of Pokémon Adventures. Platinum uses it when she and Dahlia swap Pokémon during Platinum's Battle Arcade campaign under the condition of "Pokémon Swap."

Later, in the HeartGold & SoulSilver arc, Gold's Togebo quickly evolves into a Togetic and then into a Togekiss with the Shiny Stone it held.
