Togepi (JP) is a species of Pokémon in the series of the same name. It is a Fairy-type (Normal-type prior to the sixth generation) Baby Pokémon that made its first appearance in the Pokémon anime episode Who Gets to Keep Togepi? before making its game debut in the second generation games Gold and Silver. It evolves into Togetic when leveled up with high friendship.

Physiology and Behavior[]

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.

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, storing that happiness in its shell, 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.

Appearances[]

Main Pokémon games[]

Togepi first appeared in the second generation of Pokémon games. In the games, it could be obtained by coming in possession of an egg from Professor Elm's assistant and hatching it by traveling the game's world.

Other Pokémon games[]

Togepi received its own Pokémon mini video game titled Togepi's Great Adventure. It was never released outside of Japan.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness: Togepi is the leader of Team Glee, along with Politoed and Ledyba.

Super Smash Bros. series[]

Starting with Super Smash Bros. Melee, Togepi was a Poké Ball Pokémon. It uses Metronome, with the move varying between Night Shade, Magnitude, Sing, Ice Beam (Pokémon) and Leech Seed. Togepi reappeared in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, the moves were changed to Night Shade, Earthquake, Hypnosis, Icy Wind and Leech Seed. Togepi returned in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Trophy descriptions[]

Melee

"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!"

In the anime[]

Misty's Togepi

Misty's Togepi

In Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon, Ash Ketchum found a Pokémon egg. In Who Gets to Keep Togepi?, it hatched into a Togepi, thus also marking the species' debut, making it the second second-generation Pokémon to debut in the anime before its debut generation (the first being Ho-Oh in the first episode). Since Misty was the first thing the baby Pokémon saw, it believed Misty to be its mother. Since then, Togepi stayed by Misty's side until A Togepi Mirage!, where it evolved into Togetic and decided to stay in the Mirage Kingdom to guard other Togepi in the Togepi Paradise.

Origin and inspiration[]

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.
