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 very rarely 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, and semiovular, 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

Forest Pokémon

Togepi are very rarely ever found in the wild. But they may be found in secluded areas.

Diet

In the anime

Major appearances

Togepi in the anime

Misty's Togepi

In Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon, Ash finds a Pokémon egg. It hatches into a Togepi in Who Gets to Keep Togepi?, and since Misty is the first thing the baby Pokémon sees, it believes Misty is its mother. At the end of A Togepi Mirage!, Princess Sara found the Togepi of Legend, and Misty left her Togepi, which had just evolved to Togetic, in the Mirage Kingdom.

Other

Several Togepi appeared in A Togepi Mirage! living in the Togepi Paradise.

An unusually bratty female Togepi appeared in Where No Togepi Has Gone Before!. It used its cute qualities to manipulate people so it could cause mischief.

Episode Pokémon Source Entry AG044 Togepi May's Pokédex Togepi, the Spike Ball Pokémon. Togepi is said to exude a relaxing aura that grows stronger when treated nicely. AG045 Togepi's power May's Pokédex Togepi, the Spike Ball Pokémon. Togepi is filled with an energy that makes people happy. When treated well, Togepi shares this energy with others, but when it comes near a human with an impure heart this energy quickly disappears, leaving Togepi exhausted.

Episode Pokémon Source Entry DP142 Togepi Dawn's Pokédex Togepi, the Spike Ball Pokémon. Happiness is stored in Togepi's shell, and it shares its happiness with kind-hearted people.

In the 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 picked up on some of Gold's gambling habits as an egg.

Other appearances

File:Togepi Brawl.jpg

Togepi in Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Super Smash Bros. Melee/Brawl

When released from a Poké Ball, Togepi will use Metronome which will trigger Night Shade, Magnitude, Sing, 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!

Pokémon mini

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.
  • Additionally, their fully evolved forms (Togekiss and Lucario) are the only non-legendary Pokémon that can learn the move Aura Sphere.
• Since Generation II, there is a non-player character giving away a Togepi egg in at least one game in every generation.
• 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.
  • This implies that the father was a Hoothoot or a Noctowl that knew Extrasensory
• Togepi is one of three Pokémon 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 Chikorita and Bayleef.
• 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.

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. The "Pi" possibly comes from "piyopiyo," Japanese onomatopoeia for a bird chirping. Its name may also be a corruption of Dokkaebi, a mythical being of Korean folklore.

In other languages

• German: Togepi
• French: Togepi
• Korean: 토게피 Togepi
• Chinese (Taiwan): 波克比 Bō Kè Bĭ - Transliteration of its Japanese name.
