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 rounded, egg-shaped body. After hatching from its Egg, Togepi's body remains encased in its eggshell. That shell has a white base color, and rounded, mostly unfilled shapes (with thick borders that are either red or blue) dot the shell on all sides. Sticking out of its shell, Togepi has stubby, rounded cone arms and round feet with two toes each. Togepi has thin, black, oval eyes with thin, black arcs on their outer sides. Its head has five round-tipped, conical spikes that seem to form a crown. It also has semi-oval, brown pads on the soles of its feet.
The anime has shown that it can retract into its shell, which it usually does to sleep, and as mentioned in Pokémon Sleep, Togepi is known to roll around in its shell while sleeping.[1]. It is able to siphon the positive energy of others, storing that happiness in its shell, and then release it to those in need of it. Early TCG cards state that Togepi is able to release poison from the spikes on its head, which it uses to chase away enemies. 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. Togepi's innocent smile is said to calm the soul. It is also shown in the anime that Togepi can act very maliciously at times, causing havoc and bad luck to its enemies, and that, when necessary, Togepi can fly or levitate, despite lacking wings. Togepi are born within the Togepi Paradise, and appear to humans to spread kindness – it is rare in the wild, but can most commonly be found in forests. After its mission of spreading kindness is complete, it will eventually return to the Togepi Paradise.
Evolution
Togepi evolves into Togetic, which evolves into Togekiss.

Major appearances
Misty's Togepi was the first Togepi (and one of the first Generation II Pokémon) seen in the anime. Ash found its Egg at the end of Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon. Togepi hatched four episodes later, in Who Gets to Keep Togepi?, and upon hatching, it imprinted on Misty. Togepi stayed by Misty's side from then until A Togepi Mirage!, when it evolved into Togetic and decided to stay 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.

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.

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!
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).

Togepi also appears as a trophy in both versions of the game.
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.

Trivia
Togepi in Pokémon Battle Chess
- 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.
- Togepi was the first Generation II Pokémon to appear in a Pokémon video game. It made an appearance in Hey You, Pikachu!, which was released in Japan on 12 December 1998, almost a full year before the first Generation II games, Pokémon Gold and Silver, were released, on 21 November 1999.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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. As a consequence, the father could only be a Hoothoot, a Noctowl, a Togetic, or a Togekiss that knew Extrasensory.
- In Pokémon Rumble Blast, when Togepi is attacking, it makes a different cry to its usual one.
- 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.
- In Pokémon Adventures, Togepi holds the record as the Pokémon who takes the least amount of time to evolve twice, taking only one chapter. It shares this with Caterpie and Poliwag.
- Togepi appears in Pokémon Battle Chess. To use it, one must have their Egg damaged three times, then Togepi hatches and behaves like a king piece in chess. When the player loses their Togepi, they lose.
- Togepi and Absol are the only non-Flying-type Pokémon that can have Super Luck as their Ability.
- Togepi, Cleffa, and Igglybuff are the only baby Pokémon to have a TAG TEAM GX card.
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 or bad), Togepi is possibly based on the dokkaebi, a Korean mythological goblin that brings bad luck and good luck to anyone. This might explain why Togepi can have Super Luck as its Hidden Ability.
Name origin
Togepi and Togepy may be a combination of 刺 toge (spike) and ピヨピヨ piyopiyo (onomatopoeia for a bird chirping).
