Is Togepi Good in FireRed & LeafGreen Playthrough?

Normal in FRLG. AbilityHustle boosts Attack at the cost of accuracy, or AbilitySerene Grace doubles secondary move effect chances. Togepi is available through trading or breeding. Togetic via friendship adds Flying but the Normal/Flying typing doesn't stand out in Kanto's postgame.

    Leave a compatible parent at the Four Island Pokemon Day Care to receive a Togetic egg. Requires the Rainbow Pass to access Four Island.

Togepi Weakness

Togepi's Normal typing leaves it vulnerable to Fighting. It shrugs off Ghost-type attacks completely. Just 1 weak spot to worry about, which keeps teambuilding straightforward.

Moves List

The natural movepool does the job, but Foresight and Future Sight from the egg pool give Togepi something extra. Pair those with Double-Edge and Mega Kick for STAB and coverage across 9 types for reach, and the kit fills out nicely.
