As a baby Pokemon, Togepi is mostly a stepping stone. It eventually becomes Togekiss, and that's where you want to end up. The Spike Ball Pokémon — cute, but not battle-ready. Introduced in Gen 2.
Defense and Sp. Def carry most of Togepi's stat budget. Attack's the obvious dump stat. Common in the wild and yields 1 Sp. Def EV. Follows a fast 800K XP curve.
This ovate creature is frequently mistaken for a moving egg when encountered out in the fields or in the mountains. Its guileless smile soothes the soul.
Togepi Weakness
GoodTogepi's Fairy typing leaves it vulnerable to Poison and Steel moves. It shrugs off Dragon-type attacks completely. Just 2 weak spots to worry about, which keeps teambuilding straightforward.
This is the baby stage. Togepi grows into Togetic by leveling up. Want more? Breed the adults. Baby Pokemon sit in the Undiscovered egg group. The evolved forms gain up to 300 total stats over Togepi.

Hustle strengthens physical moves to inflict 1.5× damage, but decreases their accuracy to 0.8× — that's the one you want on Togepi. Super Luck is the hidden ability. Niche, but it has its uses. Serene Grace works too if your team needs something different.
Base 20 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. On offense, Togepi is a special attacker with base 40 Sp. Atk. Defensively? Fragile — can't afford to take many hits.
