BDSP Togetic Best Moveset

Now Fairy/Flying instead of Normal/Flying, gaining Fairy TermStab and Dragon immunity. AbilitySerene Grace doubles secondary effect chances on every move. 80 Sp. Atk at 40 Speed gives the moveset some special presence but can't compete at middle evolution stats. One evolution from Togekiss's A-tier.

Pokemon Brilliant Diamond / Pokemon Shining Pearl

Togetic Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl Guide

  • At 405 BST, Togetic is firmly in pre-evolution territory. Evolve it into Togekiss before bringing it to any serious fight.

  • In Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl, Togetic's biggest threats include Jolteon (Electric), Cloyster (Ice), and Nidoking (Poison), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Rock and Steel-type attackers are also a problem. With 5 weakness types, most competitive teams carry at least one counter. At base 40 Speed, Togetic won't outrun any of these threats so switching to a resist is usually the safer play.

  • Hustle is the go-to ability for Togetic. 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.

  • Togetic is a mixed attacker with base 40 Attack and 80 Sp. Atk. Enough bulk to take a hit or two, too. Speed tells the real story. Base 40 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. Fits the trick room role.

  • In Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl, For a casual playthrough, Togetic works as a placeholder. Fairy/Flying coverage is useful early. The real payoff is Togekiss. That's where the stats start mattering.

Game Availability

Since Gold & Silver, Togetic has been in 17 games. Requiring an item-based evolution to obtain means it's consistently available but requires more effort than simply catching it in the wild.
