Togepi

() is a -type (formerly -type) Baby Pokémon introduced in Generation II.
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Togepi is a Pokémon who appears to not have fully hatched out of its shell yet; only its head and stubby hands and feet appear out of its egg's shell. The parts of its body that appear are a pale, cream color, whereas the shell is predominantly white. Togepi's shell also has red and blue markings, shaped as triangles but one of them looks like a square. Its head has five spikes that appear to form a crown, or when viewing on the top of its head to be look like a star shape-like. Its eyes are small, black, and oval-shaped. When about to cry, its eye color may turn into red.
===Behavior===
Togepi is friendly and docile, and loves being around with children. If anyone protects or makes it happy, it will return the favor by sharing its own joy.
However, Togepi is always at risk of being forgotten during a crisis, so it needs extremely cautious protection by its guardians and trainers.
===Natural Abilities===
Togepi can release toxins from its head. It can retract its spikes when it sleeps. Sometimes it can absorb energies around it and transfer said energies to the needy.
==Evolution==
Togepi evolves into Togetic when leveled up with max friendship, whom, in turn, will evolve into Togekiss in Generation IV onwards when exposed to a Shiny Stone.
==Games==
Togepi's movepool is rather limited, making it difficult to train. It is not considered to be a very strong, competitive Pokémon, and is mostly adored due to its appearance. It will evolve into Togetic once it reaches maximum happiness.
Togepi appears from the Poké Ball item in Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Like Clefairy, Togepi uses Metronome, but unlike Clefairy, the resultant attacks cause status effects in the area around Togepi (Freeze, Burying, Flower on Head, Sleep), with the exception of one rare attack, where Togepi blackens out the screen for a few seconds (Night Shade) which can cause mass chaos, especially on moving levels or boss fights. It is also an unlockable trophy.

==Appearances==
===Anime===
In Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon, Ash discovers an egg in the ancient ruins at Grampa Canyon. Brock carries this egg around until the episode Who Gets To Keep Togepi?. At that point, Ash's Pokédex doesn't know about Togepi and it says more to be discovered about it. Later, Misty receives Togepi and eventually evolves into Togetic in A Togepi Mirage!.
In Where No Togepi Has Gone Before!, a mischievous female Togepi wanders around Team Rocket's new hideout and cause a lot of trouble for Team Rocket and Ash, Dawn, and Brock. She plays pranks, using Attract to manipulate Ash's Pikachu, Dawn's Piplup, Brock's Croagunk, and Team Rocket's Meowth (Jessie's Yanmega is unaffected due to being female) to steal Team Rocket's space rocket. Brock's Happiny manages to snap them out of it by using Pound. Happiny and Togepi get ready to duel each other when the rocket is hit by Rayquaza's Hyper Beam. Ash, Dawn, Brock, Team Rocket, and their Pokémon work together to stabilize the rocket, but Happiny and Togepi's fight causes it to fall again. Togepi uses Psychic to save herself as well as everyone on board, landing the rocket safely. Togepi tells the others (via Meowth translating for her) that she is tired and is going home to rest. Togepi leaves as the rocket explodes, skipping away innocently. She is seen at the end of the episode making her sinister face.
Togepi later reappears in Meloetta's Moonlight Serenade airing along with Kyurem vs. the Sword of Justice.
In The Power of Us, Harriet also owns a Togepi.
*Princess Sara's Togepi
*Togepi (DP142)
*Harriet's Togepi
===Trainers With A Togepi===
*Misty (formerly)
*Princess Sara
*Harriet
==Trivia==
* If Pokémon Gold and Silver are played through normally, Togepi generally hatches either slightly before the player reaches Goldenrod City or while they are still there.
* Despite being the Spike Ball Pokémon, it can't learn Spikes, Toxic Spikes, Spiky Shield or Spike Cannon.
* In the anime, when Ash first checks Togepi in his Pokédex, it refers to Togepi simply as an "Egg Pokémon".
** This could mean that Togepi was originally going to be part of the Egg Pokémon species, rather than the Spike Ball species.
*** The only Pokémon that are Egg Pokémon are Exeggcute, and Chansey.
* In Super Smash Bros., Togepi is one of the Pokémon that can be freed from Poké Balls. During this time, it uses the move Metronome.
*Togepi originally didn't have any evolution in the Gold & Silver demo. 
===Origin===
Judging by the colorful patterns on its shell, Togepi might be based on an Easter Egg, which is a symbol of life. Its head shape might be inspired by the tulip cups which are commonly used for baking cupcakes.
===Etymology===
Togepi's name is derived from the Japanese "toge", meaning "spike" (referring to the top of this Pokémon's head), and "pii", the sound a chick or small bird makes.
