Togepi is a baby Pokémon that was introducing in the second generation games.

Information

Togepi is a Pokémon that is freshly hatched from an egg and is shaped like a spiked ball. Togepi is known for being full of joy. Togepi feeds off of positive emotions, storing up happiness within its shell, and usually shares the happiness with others. Togepi is also considered a token of good luck, and a proverb says that happiness will come to anyone who can make a sleeping Togepi stand up.

When Togepi has collected enough happiness and then leveled up, it will evolve into a Togetic.

Appearances

Mainstream Games

In Pokémon: FireRed and LeafGreen Versions, Togepi can be hatched from an egg given by an old man who is found in the Water Labyrinth near Six Island. In Pokémon Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold and SoulSilver, Togepi hatches from the egg discovered by Mr. Pokémon. Gold will receive the egg from an aide of Professor Elm at Violet City. In the Crystal Version, the player also receives an egg from the daycare couple which has a chance of hatching as Togepi as well as any of the second generation's other baby Pokémon.

Wild Togepi can be found in Route 210 in Diamond, Pearl and Platinum by using the Pokéradar. In Platinum, Cynthia also gives the player a Togepi egg. In White, Togepi could be found at the White Forest.

Other Games

In Hey You, Pikachu! (which is Togepi's first game appearance), Togepi's egg is found in the second Pokémon Picnic level. It can then be bought from Abra's shop and hatched. In Pokémon Stadium 2, Togepi was featured in the "Tumbling Togepi" minigame, where the player the player controlled one of four Togepi (or possibly a game-transferred Omanyte) that avoided obstacles while racing to the end of a field. Togepi could also be unlocked in Pokémon Puzzle Challenge by defeating the Pokéfan in Challenge Mode, who could only be faced in the Normal difficulty if the player performed a ten-block combo prior to facing Clair. Among the Pokémon e-Reader series, Togepi was featured in the "Pika Pop" minigame where it dances to music with Pikachu.

Togepi can be obtained in Pokémon Colosseum via the e-Reader, and in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness from Hordel in the Outskirt Stand. The Togepi in those two games could later be transferred into any of the Gameboy Advance games. Togepi can be found on the Cobalt Coast on clear days in Pokémon Channel. In Pokémon Trozei!, it is found in Endless Levels 1, 5 and 50. In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red and Blue Rescue Teams, Togepi is found in the fifth through tenth levels of Wish Cave. In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Darkness, Togepi are found in the first nineteen basement floors of Happy Outlook, and a character Togepi also appears in the game as the leader of Team Glee. It also appeared in Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs at Mitonga Road and Thunder Temple.

Other Appearances

Video Games

• In the Super Smash Bros. series, Togepi has appeared in every game since Super Smash Bros. Melee as one of the Pokémon that could be summoned at random from the Poké Ball item. When summoned, Togepi would use Metronome to perform a random attack on the fighters around it. They are typically attacks which effect the status of the fighters (such as temporarily freezing them, planting them on the ground or sprouting plants on their heads) or briefly shroud the screen in darkness. Togepi has also been represented by a trophy in Melee, a trophy and sticker in Brawl, a trophy in the 3DS/Wii U game and an Advanced-rank Support Spirit (which raised critical health stats) in Ultimate.

Other Media

• Prior to the release of the second generation games, Togepi appeared in the Pokémon anime. During the Kanto episodes, Ash and his group discovered an egg after battling several prehistoric Pokémon. It later hatched, and everyone battled to decide who would keep Togepi. Although Ash won, Togepi chose Misty as its mother because it had imprinted her as its mother. Togepi occasionally helped the group by using Metronome. During the Hoenn episodes, Togepi evolved into Togetic and left Misty to protect a group of Togepi. Other Togepi have occasionally appeared, such as in an episode of the Sinnoh series which focused on a Togepi which manipulated others with her charm in order to cause mischief. She wound up trapping Ash's group and Team Rocket in a spaceship that took off and battled Brock's Happiny, but in the end she used her powers to prevent the ship from crashing and then left to continue her mischief.
• A Togepi appeared in the Gold/Silver/Crystal arc of the Pokémon Adventures manga, where it was hatched by Gold and comes from Jasmine's Togetic. This Togepi is unusually violent and reckless, as well as having inherited some of Gold's traits.

Trivia

• "Togei" is Japanese for "spike", while the "pi" in its name may be derived from "piyopiyo", which is Japanese onomatopoeia used to represent a bird's chirping.
