Togepi (Japanese: トゲピー Togepy) is a Normal-type baby Pokémon.
It evolves into Togetic when leveled up with high friendship, which evolves into Togekiss when exposed to a Shiny Stone.
Biology
Physiology
Togepi are small, light yellow Pokémon with a round body still encased in its eggshell. Togepi do not shed their shell. The Egg has red and blue shapes on it, suggesting that its real body has the same pattern. Togepi have stubby hands and round feet with two toes each. Togepi have black eyes and five spikes on its head that somewhat seem to form a crown. They also have semi-ovular, brown pads on the soles of its feet.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Togepi are able to release poison from the spikes on their head. They can retract into its shell, which is usually used for sleeping. They are able to siphon the positive energy of others, then release it to those in need of it.
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 they share their joy with those who take care of them and protect them from harm.
Habitat
Togepi are very rarely ever found in the wild, but they may be found in secluded areas. There have been some rare sightings of them in Sinnoh's Route 230 and Unova's White Forest.
Diet
- Main article: Pokémon food
Togepi's diet is unknown, though they have been seen eating fruit. Domesticated Togepi have also been seen eating ice cream.

In the manga
In the Pokémon Adventures manga
- Main article: Togebo
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 his Egg, just after he 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, he 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 Trainer. However, both times, he was injured in the process.
In spite of his strength, Lance points out that Gold never really put much trust in his abilities, and as a result he was unable to evolve until late into the HeartGold & SoulSilver arc. He then quickly evolves a second time using a Shiny Stone.
In the Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys manga
In The Golden Boys, Togepi is one of the Pokémon owned by Chris. It was the Egg hatched from Professor Elm's Mystery Egg.
In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga
Red borrowed Misty's Togepi in PM054. Later on in the chapter, he returns it back.
Red also owned a Togepi that hatched in PM062 and was later traded away for a Tyrogue in PM085.

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!
The Melee trophy incorrectly states that Togepi's first appearance was in Pokémon Gold and Silver. Togepi's first appearance was actually in Hey You, Pikachu!.
Brawl trophy information
"A Spike Ball Pokémon. It's said that its shell is filled with joy, and a proverb asserts that if you can get a sleeping Togepi to stand up, you will gain happiness. Togepi can lower its opponent's attack power using Charm. Once it has become friends with its Trainer, Togepi evolves into Togetic."
Togepi appears in the Pokémon mini game Togepi's Great Adventure.

Trivia
- Togepi is the second Generation II Pokémon (after Ho-Oh) to appear in the Kanto series of the anime.
- Its Southern Islands card's Pokédex entry states that it can secrete poison from its spikes. Despite this, it can't learn any Poison-type moves by level-up, and the only one it can learn is Toxic, which must be taught via TM, and every Pokémon that can learn moves via TM can learn Toxic.
- 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, Shellder, Ditto and others.
- 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.
- 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.
- While baby Pokémon are often revealed before their generation they debut in, Togepi is so far the only baby Pokémon to be revealed before its evolution.
- On the DVD scene selection screen from Mewtwo Strikes Back, Togepi is listed as Pokémon #152.
- In Pokémon Rumble Blast, when Togepi is attacking, it makes a different cry than its usual one that is heard.
- When it faints, however, the normal fainting cry it makes in the other games is heard.
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
Togepi and Togepy may be a combination of 刺 toge (spike) and ピヨピヨ piyopiyo (onomatopoeia for a bird chirping). It may also be a corruption of Dokkaebi, usually pronounced tokebi in Japanese, which is a mythical being of Korean folklore.
