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

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

Biology

Physiology

Togekiss is a white Pokémon with an egg-shaped body. Togekiss has triangle-shaped wings and lacks the stubby arms that its pre-evolutions had. Its underbelly is dotted with little red and blue triangle-shaped spots, which are signature of the Togepi evolution family. Togekiss has two feet that are close to each other. The former spikes on its head are now a three-pointed crest that has the left spike tipped in blue and the right spike tipped in red (the reverse is true for its Template:Shiny2 form).

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

As of Generation IV, Togekiss is one of three non-legendary Pokémon that can learn Sky Attack naturally, the other non-legendaries being Noctowl and Altaria.

It is also able to wield Aura Sphere and one of only two non-legendary Pokémon are able to learn it. The other is Lucario.

Behavior

Togekiss avoid conflict, never appearing where strife is occurring. It shares blessings with those who love another. They will protect their young, Togepi, with miraculous care.

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.
