Initially classified as a Normal-type Pokémon, it was reclassified as Fairy-type in Generation VI.

Togepi first made its appearance in the Pokémon anime, where it was discovered as an Egg and later hatched by Misty, a main character. The Pokémon quickly became a beloved character due to its cute appearance and innocent demeanor. Togepi's introduction in the anime predates its appearance in the Pokémon Gold and Silver games, making it one of the first Generation II Pokémon to be revealed to the public. Its role in the series often highlighted themes of luck and happiness, aligning with its later established abilities.
In the Pokémon world, Togepi is known for its rarity and is often found in forests. It plays a significant role in spreading kindness and joy, reflecting its gentle and nurturing nature. Trainers value Togepi not just for its evolution potential but also for the positivity it brings. It is said that Togepi can absorb the happiness of others and release it to those in need, making it a symbol of good fortune and positive energy in the Pokémon universe.
Togepi is characterized by its small, light-yellow body encased in a white, patterned eggshell with red and blue shapes. It has stubby limbs and a crown-like head with five conical spikes. Despite its innocent appearance, Togepi can exhibit a range of abilities. It can retract into its shell for protection and sleep, and in some depictions, it can release poison from the spikes on its head to ward off enemies. Togepi's abilities also include the ability to fly or levitate, despite not having wings, and its hidden ability, Super Luck, which increases the critical hit ratio of its moves. Its joyful nature and the ability to share its happiness make it a cherished companion in the Pokémon world.
