==History==
======
Prior to Number One Donphan, Tobego was conceived by Jasmine's two when she left both of them in the . His was found by the Day-Care Couple and delivered to Professor Elm. Despite his expertise, the professor was unable to get the Egg to hatch, so he decided to deliver it to in hopes that the livelier environment would help. After some time, an assistant eventually caught up with Gold and gave the Egg to him, which he named "Eggy." 
In Gligar Glide, right after Gold went to sleep in the woods on the outskirts of Goldenrod City, a swooped down and snatched Togebo's Egg. Aibo tried, unsuccessfully, to wake Gold and he rallied his teammates to chase after it. Aibo caught up first and tried to attack Gligar but it used its stinger, causing Aibo to fall. Then Gligar kicked Polibo, who has just jumped out of the water. Pretending to be a tree, Sudobo caught Gligar, and Exbo used a powerful . Gligar flew away to a tree to eat the Egg, but landed on Gligar's head. Unfortunately, this made Gligar headbutt the Egg, creating a crack in the shell. Pieces of the Egg flew off, and Togepi appeared. Gligar, still hungry, attempted to eat Togepi anyways. Togepi retaliated with and ; Metronome came out as , which scared Gligar off.
Later that day, Gold introduced Togebo to Professor Elm, only for the Spike Ball Pokémon to show off that he picked up Gold's delinquent behavior. As a consequence, Gold was forced to visit the Day-Care Couple to show them Togebo. The two were stumped on how he was conceived. While staying there, Togebo trained with the day care Pokémon. In Piloswine Whine, Togebo was used alongside the rest of Gold's team to defeat Team Rocket's horde of Pokémon.
In Tyranitar War, Togebo battled in Gold's fight against . He managed to defeat his powerful with Double-Edge, but was knocked out as well when Tyranitar fell on top of him.
In Sandslash Surprise, Togebo helped defeat a group of . Sometime after this, he was sent to for him to study the Spike Ball Pokémon's odd traits.
In The Last Battle VI, Togebo watched the rest of Gold's Pokémon battle against the Masked Man from inside his , infuriated that Gold did not think he was strong enough to battle.
======
In Out-Odding Oddish, Togebo participated in the Pokéathlon alongside Sunbo and Sudobo. They started with the Jump Course, and were shown competing in the Disc Catch competition. Sunbo and Sudobo focused on catching discs thrown towards them, while Togebo used his small size to move through the crowd and nab discs other teams were aiming for. They next competed in the Lamp Jump. The three were able to touch enough lights to earn Gold enough points to win the Jump Medal. 
The same three later competed in the Speed Course and encountered a powerful , Jet. In the Hurdle Dash and Pennant Capture competitions, Jet's team easily defeated Sunbo and Sudobo. In the final match, Relay Run, while most Trainers were seen running with their Pokémon, Gold was seen sliding on the ground while riding his skateboard in the wrong direction. An exhausted and in last place Sudobo struggled to move on, so he was switched for Sunbo. Seeing there was not much time left, Gold switched Sunbo out for Togebo. Togebo's fast speed allowed him to easily catch up to Jet's , but he was kicked away into the gravel by Dodrio's foot. The dirt got into Togebo's eyes, preventing him from being able to see and run properly. Gold commanded Togebo to keep going and gave him directions on where to move, having spent his time memorizing the course. Togebo continued running and eventually managed to make it past Jet's Dodrio, which gave Gold the win.
In One Tough Togepi, Gold sent out his entire team, save Togebo, to fight and distract Lance's Dragonite. Once attacked with , Gold launched Togebo's Poké Ball with his billiard cue, which met the devastating laser attack. Togebo managed to endure the attack long enough to shoot past Dragonite, and came back around with a Double-Edge at the back of its head, fainting the Dragon Pokémon. Later, after Aibo evolved into an , Togebo was seen sulking over the attention that he received from the Kimono Girls. It was then revealed that Gold did not exactly know how to evolve Togebo.
In All About Arceus II, after Gold managed to find the missing Lance at the Ruins of Alph, it was revealed that the reason that Togebo has yet to evolve was due to the fact that the two were not fully connected. Lance then gave Togebo a Shiny Stone in the event that they figure it out. When Gold went to battle the rampaging in All About Arceus VIII, Gold realized how he never thought Togebo to be as strong as his other Pokémon and kept him as a last resort in all of his battles. Realizing his grave mistake, Gold told Togebo to fight; Togebo joined the battle, evolving into a and then into a immediately after. With their new power, Gold and Togebo managed to calm Arceus down.
==Personality and characteristics==
Since hatching from his , Togebo picked up some of 's habits such as gambling. He is a very naughty and stubborn Pokémon, and is often seen with a sulk on his face. As described by DJ Mary, Gold and Togebo are so alike they may as well be twins. Despite being newly hatched, Togebo was easily able to defeat opponents more experienced such as and , but also fainted in the process as for the latter. 
In the , it was revealed that Togebo felt like that it was not fully connected with Gold, as stated by Lance at one point. This was due to Gold believing that Togebo was not as strong as the rest of team and only brought him out as a last resort. During the fight with , Gold realized his mistake and apologized, which caused Togebo to evolve into Togetic and then Togekiss with a Shiny Stone.

==Trivia==
* Togebo is the first Pokémon belonging to a Pokédex holder to be hatched from an Egg, as well as the only one to evolve.
* Togebo, along with Kitty and Polibo, is tied for taking the least amount of time to evolve twice, taking less than 1 chapter.
* Gold receiving Togebo's Egg from Professor Elm's assistant is likely a reference to the Egg the player receives in the Johto-based games.
