Togekiss's Fairy/Flying typing gives it an immunity to Ground and Dragon. The 5 weaknesses are the tradeoff, but that immunity creates real opportunities. Known as the Jubilee Pokemon. Its damage comes from the special side.
Togekiss's spread isn't flashy. Sp. Atk leads, Attack trails, 5 stats clear the bar. Tough to catch and worth 3 Sp. Atk and Sp. Def EVs, on a fast 800K XP curve.
Scant few have ever sighted this Pokémon. After studying what literature remains, I am certain Togekiss will reveal itself when peace reigns in the land.
Togekiss Weakness
GoodTogekiss is weak to Electric, Ice, Poison, Rock, and Steel-type moves. On the flip side, it's immune to Ground and Dragon-type moves entirely. It resists 4 types, giving it decent defensive coverage. Togekiss's overall bulk (85/95/115) lets it take a hit or two from most weaknesses before going down.
Togekiss doesn't evolve through normal leveling. You'll need an evolution item to get here from Togepi's line. Breed this form to get Togepi eggs (quick to hatch). Evolving from Togepi gave Togekiss the biggest boost in Sp.Atk (+80), bringing the total to 545 stats.
How to Evolve
Breed with Togekiss to get Togepi eggs easily using 66 partners from the Fairy and Flying egg groups.
Timid nature gives Togekiss the fast special lean it needs to trade hits effectively. Leftovers adds passive recovery each turn, max Sp. Atk and Speed EVs split the difference, and utility options punishes anything trying to wall it.

Togekiss has a 545 base stat total and ranks as B-Tier — a solid choice for the right team. It works best as a wallbreaker. Base 120 Sp. Atk is where it shines.
Hustle is the go-to ability for Togekiss. It strengthens physical moves to inflict 1.5× damage, but decreases their accuracy to 0.8×. Its hidden ability Super Luck can work in specific setups. Serene Grace is the other option — pick based on what your team needs.
Togekiss fills the wallbreaker role. It's a special attacker with base 120 Sp. Atk. Base 80 Speed is workable — faster than some, slower than many. And it's tanky enough to absorb a few hits.
