Togepi (Japanese: トゲピー Togepy) is a Normal-type baby Pokémon.
It evolves into Togetic via happiness, who evolves into Togekiss when exposed to radiation from a Shiny Stone.
Biology
Physiology
Togepi is a small, light yellow Pokémon with a round body that is still encased in its egg shell. Togepi very rarely shed their shell. It has red and blue rings on it, suggesting that its real body has the same pattern. Togepi has stubby hands and round feet with two toes each. Togepi has black eyes and five spikes on its head.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
A Togepi is able to siphon the positive energy of others, and release it to those in need of it. Togepi can also release poison from the spikes on its head.
Behavior
Togepi generally act childish and may be oblivious to danger, therefore extra care should be taken to keep them safe. They also have a very joyful nature. As a result, it is said that it shares its joy with those who take care of it and protect it from harm.
Habitat
Togepi are very rarely ever found in the wild. But they may be found in secluded areas.

In the anime
In Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon, Ash finds a Pokémon egg. It hatches into a Togepi in Who Gets to Keep Togepi?, and since Misty is the first thing the baby Pokémon sees, it believes Misty is its mother. At the end of A Togepi Mirage!, Princess Sara found the Togepi of Legend, and Misty left her Togepi, which had just evolved to Togetic, in the Mirage Kingdom.
Several Togepi appeared in A Togepi Mirage! living in the Togepi Paradise.
A female Togepi appeared in DP142. It used its cute qualities to manipulate people so it could cause mischief.

In the manga
Gold receives an egg from Jasmine's Togetic, which eventually hatched into a Togepi. However, unlike regular Togepi, this one is quite violent, defeating a wild Gligar, who wanted to eat its egg, just after it was born. Also, the Togepi picked up on some of Gold's gambling habits as an egg.

Other appearances
When released from a Poké Ball, Togepi will use Metronome which will trigger Night Shade, Magnitude, Sing, or Leech Seed.
Melee trophy information
These adorable Spike Ball Pokémon hatch from eggs given out by Professor Elm's assistant. Common superstition holds that their shells are chock-full of happiness and that they become good-luck charms when handled with kindness. It's impossible to predict which ability a Togepi will call upon when it uses its Metronome move, so you'd better be ready!

Trivia
- Togepi is the second Generation II Pokémon (after Ho-Oh) to appear in the Kanto series.
- Togepi's in-game cry sounds the same as its name.
- Togepi shares a number of traits with Riolu, notably that both are received as eggs from an NPC in the generation of their introduction, and when hatched, cannot breed until they have evolved.
- Since Generation II, there is a non-player character giving away a Togepi egg in at least one game in every generation.
- Its Southern Islands card's Pokédex entry states that it can secrete poison from its spikes. Despite this, it can't learn any Poison-type moves by level-up, and the only one it can learn is Toxic, which must be taught through TM.
- AncientPower is the only non-Normal-type move Togepi learns by level-up.
Origin
Togepi appears to be based on the concept of a baby hatchling of any of a number of species of animals. It could also possibly be based on an egg, with its evolutions based loosely on birds.
Name origin
The toge in Togepi's name is 刺, spike. The "Pi" possibly comes from "piyopiyo," Japanese onomatopoeia for a bird chirping.
