The shell seems to be filled with joy. It is said that it will share good luck when treated kindly.

Togepi Weakness

Togepi's Fairy typing leaves it vulnerable to Poison and Steel. It shrugs off Dragon-type attacks completely. Just 2 weak spots to worry about, which keeps teambuilding straightforward.

Sword & Shield Togepi Best Moveset

Best Build

No build content available for this Pokemon in Gen 8.

Try selecting a different game/generation filter, or check back later.

Moves

The natural movepool does the job, but Aerial Ace and Extrasensory from the egg pool give Togepi something extra. Pair those with Play Rough and Dazzling Gleam for STAB and coverage across 8 types for reach, and the kit fills out nicely.
