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, 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, HeartGol 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. 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.

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. Togepi also appears in Pokémon Stadium 2 and Pokémon Puzzle Challenge.

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.

Other Appearances

Video Games

• Togepi also appeared in Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Brawl as one of the Pokémon that could be randomly summoned from a Pokéball. In these games Togepi would use Metronome to produce a random attack. Togepi also appeared as a trophy in both games.

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.
• 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.
