===History===
========
=====Kanto=====
Togepi was found as a Pokémon Egg by in Grampa Canyon in Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon. In Who Gets to Keep Togepi?, Ash, , , and fought over the Egg and competed in a tournament to determine who would be the eventual owner. When the Egg hatched into , the first thing it saw was Misty, and it subsequently chose her as its , thinking that she was its mother. This was in spite of the fact that Ash officially won the tournament.
Togepi had a habit of exploring its surroundings and getting itself into trouble, with close behind to protect it. This first happened in The Case of the K-9 Caper! when Togepi wandered off after a piece of food that rolled to the edge of the tabletop. Seeing it about to fall, Pikachu rushed to save it, but instead, he became overbalanced and fell to the ground.
Togepi unintentionally helped the group find Blaine's secret Gym in Riddle Me This when it activated a switch by jumping onto a tap fixture.
In The Battle of the Badge, Ash was startled by Togepi and accidentally sent it flying away, where it eventually ended up in the hands of Team Rocket. They duly presented it to who was unimpressed as Togepi couldn't do anything remarkable at the time. Togepi managed to slip away and soon reunited with Misty.
=====Orange Islands=====
Although Togepi appeared harmless, it sometimes used to escape dangerous situations. The first time this happened was in Pikachu Re-Volts. Butch and Cassidy's was using Metronome to attack Ash and his friends. Misty's Togepi began using it, causing an explosion that sent Butch and Cassidy flying. It happened again in In the Pink. A was about to charge the group when Togepi used to use . It also used the move later in the episode to stop a 's by using .
In The Underground Round Up, Togepi came across a playful rolling around. Seeing it as a game, Togepi got on top of Voltorb to have fun. Misty attempted to remove Togepi from it upon learning that Voltorb tended to explode, but Togepi refused to let go of its new friend. Team Rocket later appeared to capture Voltorb and Togepi used Metronome to stop them. However, the move turned into a useless . Togepi still tried to protect Voltorb, prompting Pikachu and 's to protect them and send Team Rocket blasting off. Togepi was forced to say goodbye to its new friend after this, though Misty assured Togepi that it could still be friends with Voltorb even when they were separated.

In Tanks a Lot!, Togepi befriended a . The two played together before rolling off a cliff and into the opening of Team Rocket's Arbo-Tank. Togepi jumped on a lever, causing the mecha to take off and go on a rampage. During the rampage, Togepi used Metronome to drill a hole through a mountain to keep it from crashing. Eventually, Togepi and Sentret were rescued by Ash, his friends, and Team Rocket, after which the mecha promptly exploded.
In No Big Woop!, Togepi kept a group of under control by playing a tambourine to their favorite beat while Ash and Misty searched for the missing member of the group.
Even though Misty knew Togepi could battle, she only used it once to battle Ash. In The Totodile Duel, Ash was using his to battle Misty for ownership of a . Misty used Togepi because she knew Pikachu would never attack it, as Pikachu often babysit it. Using , Togepi ended up causing Pikachu to forfeit the round.
In Mountain Time, Togepi was stuck with Pikachu and Team Rocket on top of a high balanced rock. When the rock fell, Togepi used Metronome to teleport the group and the rock back onto the balanced perch, putting them in relative safety again.
In Houndoom's Special Delivery, Togepi was separated from Misty and the rest of the group for some time after it used Metronome to teleport itself away from James's Weezing. A rescued it from a tree, and the two became good friends, sharing a sad goodbye when it was time for Togepi to leave.
 
In An EGG-sighting Adventure!, it used Metronome again to teleport Ash's Egg away from .

In The Princess and the Togepi, Togepi and Misty met up with Ash, Brock, , and Max, before being captured by Team Rocket and taken to the Mirage Kingdom, hired to do so by the corrupt Colonel Hansen, who sought to claim Togepi for himself in order to become Mirage Kingdom's new king. After Misty briefly lost Togepi during a clash with Colonel Hansen's , it was found by and taken to Princess Sarah, who returned it to Misty upon learning it was her Pokémon. When a mirage of the royal castle appeared in the sky, Togepi felt attracted towards it, even floating out of Misty's hands before Hansen once again attacked to steal Togepi.
In A Togepi Mirage!, Togepi used a newly learned to protect the group from Shedinja's before transporting them to the Togepi Paradise on the other side of the mirage, which was suffering due to the presence of Hansen's impure heart and evil desires. When Togepi left the paradise on its own, it was attacked and knocked unconscious by Hansen's Pokémon, allowing him to steal it and use it to claim himself the Mirage Kingdom's throne. When Ash and his friends later confronted Hansen again, the Togepi from the paradise appeared and shared their energy with Misty's Togepi, allowing it to evolve into Togetic and protect the Togepi from Hansen's Shedinja. After Hansen had been defeated and arrested, Togetic expressed its desire to stay behind to protect the paradise. Misty accepted Togetic's choice, and the two shared a tearful hug before parting ways. Togetic was later seen in observing the paradise, happy to see it restored.

===Personality and characteristics===
As a Togepi, it was close to ever since its hatching, and they quickly developed a relationship akin to that between a mother and her child. However, despite its adorable appearance, Togepi boasted incredible power that showed itself on occasion.
As a Togepi, it was particularly curious about the world around itself. Because of this, it was prone to walking off and getting itself and , who would always pursue it, into dangerous situations, which usually resulted in Pikachu getting hurt while Togepi walked away unharmed. It was very friendly towards other Pokémon, particularly ones that were small, young, and , such as a in Tanks a Lot! and, much to Misty's dislike, a in The Bug Stops Here. It also made friends with Pokémon who had a fearsome reputation, such as Tracey's Scyther. Again, it would be unaware of the potential dangers like in The Underground Round Up.
Another one of Togepi's unlikely friendships was depicted in Houndoom's Special Delivery, where it was forced to say goodbye to its new friend ; this showcased Togepi's ability to change hearts. It was also clever, as suggested by it recognizing Gligarman quickly in The Superhero Secret. When it evolved and assumed its new responsibility as the Togepi Paradise guardian in A Togepi Mirage!, Togetic was markedly more mature while maintaining its pure heart.
