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.
| Damage | Types |
|---|---|
| 2x (Weak) | Fighting |
| 0x (Immune) | Ghost |
- Dark and Steel types added — Fairy does not exist yet
- Moves are Physical or Special based on type, not per move

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 Facade for STAB and coverage across 8 types for reach, and the kit fills out nicely.
