Togepi (Japanese: トゲピー Togepy) is a Fairy-type baby Pokémon introduced in Generation II. Prior to Generation VI, it was a Normal-type Pokémon.
It evolves into Togetic when leveled up with high friendship, which evolves into Togekiss when exposed to a Shiny Stone.
Biology
Togepi is a small, light yellow Pokémon with a round body that is still encased in its eggshell. Togepi does not shed its shell. The Egg has red and blue shapes on it. Togepi has stubby hands and round feet with two toes each. Togepi has black eyes and five spikes on its head that seem to form a crown. It also has semi-oval, brown pads on the soles of its feet.
Togepi is able to release poison from the spikes on its head. The anime has shown that it can retract into its shell, which it usually does to sleep. It is able to siphon the positive energy of others, and then release it to those in need of it. It has a very joyful nature. As a result, it is said that it shares its joy with those who take care of it. Because of its disposition, Togepi is seen as a sign of good luck, especially if a Trainer is capable of getting a sleeping Togepi to stand. It is also shown in the anime that Togepi can act very maliciously at times, causing havoc and bad luck to its enemies. Although it is rare in the wild, Togepi can most commonly be found living within the forests.

Major appearances
In Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon, Ash found a Pokémon Egg. In Who Gets to Keep Togepi?, it hatched into a Togepi, thus also marking the species' debut. Since Misty was the first thing the baby Pokémon saw, it believed Misty to be its mother. Since then, Togepi has always been seen under the care of Misty.
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 to guard other Togepi in the Togepi Paradise.
Other
In A Togepi Mirage!, multiple Togepi were living in the Togepi Paradise. Princess Sara caught one of them when it stayed behind while the others returned to their home.
In Where No Togepi Has Gone Before!, an unusually bratty female Togepi used her cuteness to manipulate people so she could cause mischief.
In The Power of Us, a Togepi was following Harriet around.
Minor appearances
In Meloetta's Moonlight Serenade, a Togepi watched Meloetta's concert.
In I Choose You!, a Togepi playfully chased a Chikorita.
A Trainer's Togepi appeared in Settling the Scorbunny!.

Gold was given an Egg created by Jasmine's Togetic from Professor Elm that later hatched into a Togepi, which was nicknamed Togebo. Togebo's Egg first appeared in Stantler By Me, but Togebo wouldn't officially appear until Gligar Glide. Due to his abilities as a hatcher, Togebo was born with Gold's trouble-making habits, much to Professor Elm's displeasure. Despite this, Gold wasn't able to truly connect with Togebo until the climax of the HeartGold & SoulSilver arc, where he evolves into a Togetic and then a Togekiss via a Shiny Stone.

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 once again appears as a Poké Ball summon. After being released, it will use Metronome to trigger either Night Shade (causes stage darkness), Leech Seed (plants flower for gradual damage), Hypnosis (puts to sleep), Icy Wind (freezes) or Earthquake (traps in the ground).
Trophy information
NA: This Fairy-type Pokémon grows by feeding off the happiness, fun, and kindness of others. It's always filled with joy! In Smash Bros., Togepi uses the unpredictable Metronome move on foes. This move can cause drowsiness, damaging-flower growth, or stage darkness.
PAL: A Fairy-type Pokémon that's always sunny side up! It can siphon positive energy from people and spread it across the world. Its Metronome attack can have a wide variety of effects. Maybe it'll plunge the stage into darkness. Maybe it'll plant damage-dealing seeds on fighters' heads. Whatever it does, Togepi will leave fighters scrambling.
Togepi returns as a Pokémon summoned from the Poké Ball, retaining its behavior from previous games. Togepi also appears as a Spirit.
Togepi appears in the Pokémon mini-game Togepi's Great Adventure.
A Togepi appeared in Detective Pikachu.

Trivia
- Togepi is the second Generation II Pokémon (after Ho-Oh) to appear in the Kanto saga of the anime. It is also the first future generation Pokémon with a known name at the time of its appearance to appear in the anime.
- The Togepi that hatched from the Egg from Mr. Pokémon in HeartGold and SoulSilver knows Extrasensory, a move normally only available as an Egg Move.
- While baby Pokémon are often revealed before the generation they debut in, Togepi is so far the only such Pokémon to be revealed before its evolved form.
- 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.
- Togepi is tied with Marill and Azurill for having the lowest base Attack of all Fairy-type Pokémon.
- All of Togepi's anime Pokédex entries during season 1 refer to it as an "Egg Pokemon". This is due to its real category, "Spike Ball Pokémon", not being known at the time.
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 evolved forms based loosely on birds.
Due to its tendency to bring luck (either good nor bad), Togepi is possibly based on the dokkaebi, a Korean mythological goblin that brings bad luck and good luck to anyone.
Name origin
Togepi and Togepy may be a combination of 刺 toge (spike) and ピヨピヨ piyopiyo (onomatopoeia for a bird chirping).
