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 from the Fairy and Flying egg groups. Notable egg moves include Extrasensory, Foresight, Future Sight and 9 more.
Leftovers buys the setup turn. Togekiss clicks Nasty Plot, then starts cleaning with Air Slash and the remaining moves. Timid nature with max Sp. Atk and Speed EVs makes sure nothing tanks a boosted hit comfortably.

Recommended Teammates
Sky Attack and Dream Eater bring the raw damage. But Togekiss also picks up coverage across 14 types from TMs, making it tough to find a safe switch. You're not locked into one angle here.

Transfer Moves
Togekiss can't be caught in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon. Transfer Togepi from Gold, Crystal, or Legends: Arceus and evolve through the 3-stage chain to get it. The step cards below map the full chain.
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.
Togekiss appears in 12 games, including Platinum, HeartGold & SoulSilver, and Diamond & Pearl.
Togekiss has been available in 12 games since Diamond & Pearl, though obtaining it requires an item-based evolution. This extra step makes it less common than Pokemon found through standard wild encounters.
