Dawn's Togekiss (Japanese: ヒカリのトゲキッス Hikari's Togekiss) is the eighth Pokémon obtained by Dawn. She is voiced by 井上喜久子 Kikuko Inoue in Japanese.
History
Togekiss originally belonged to Princess Salvia, a doppelgänger of Dawn, who wished to compete in a Pokémon Contest to see what it was like. As the two had a near-identical appearance, they switched lives for a time, with Dawn secretly becoming Salvia, and Salvia, dressed as Dawn, using Togekiss in the Katakuri Town contest. Doing very well for her first contest, Salvia managed to win the ribbon from the contest, but gave it to her opponent, Jessilina, instead, as Dawn already had the required ribbons for entry into the Grand Festival. To allow it to continue competing in contests, Salvia gave Togekiss to Dawn.
In With the Easiest of Grace!, Dawn began training Togekiss for the Grand Festival, during which she became fast friends with Piplup. Ash volunteered to used Gible against Togekiss for a training match, and while the two were evenly-matched, Togekiss's motherly instincts came to the fore when she shielded Piplup from Gible's still unreliable Draco Meteor. Togekiss then talked with Gible, warning him to be more careful with his moves which made Gible regret his past carelessness.
Dawn initially had difficulties battling with Togekiss, as she only would use graceful moves in battle. However Dawn soon realized that instead of Togekiss changing to suit Dawn, Dawn should instead change her strategy to suit Togekiss's strengths. This new strategy was later used to win against Jessie and Yanmega, who were looking for revenge on Dawn and Togekiss for their defeat in the contest. Togekiss continued its training in DP173 and DP175 alongside Dawn's other pokémon.
Togekiss was used alongside Piplup in the finals of the Sinnoh Grand Festival against Zoey's Glameow and Gallade in DP177. Togekiss used its best moves, and managed to surprise Zoey that had never had the opportunity to know the potential of the Jubilee Pokémon. However, Togekiss never hit directly Zoey's Pokémon, because of their elusiveness and speed, but still managed to bring down Zoey's points thanks to its grace (Such as when it dodged with elegance Gallade's Vacuum Wave, or when it used Safeguard spinning on itself). In the end, even using a wonderful Sky Attack-Peck combination with the help of Piplup, the two Pokémon loses the final.
Togekiss reappeared in DP178, where it searched for Mamī's Glameow and where it battled (and lost) against an over-powered Meowth who had fallen in love with the same Glameow.

Moves improvised
- Sky Attack-Peck Combination was used in the final battle of the Sinnoh Grand Festival against her long-time rival Zoey in DP177. Dawn orders Togekiss to utilize Sky Attack while having Piplup on her back, and consequently she orders Piplup to use Peck. It results in a crimson aura surrounding both the Pokémon.
Trivia
- Togekiss was first revealed in the Japanese opening The Greatest - Everyday!.
- Togekiss is the second Pokémon obtained by Dawn from another Trainer specifically for competition in Contests. The first was Ambipom.
- Interestingly, both are female Template:Type2 Generation IV Pokémon that are part of a Generation II evolutionary family. Both were also used by their original Trainers in a Contest before becoming Dawn's Pokémon.
- Togekiss has a size inconsistency in between its debut episode in Dawn of a Royal Day! to With the Easiest of Grace!.
- Togekiss is the first Pokémon obtained by a main character while in a third evolutionary stage.
