Togepi (トゲピー,Togepy) is a creature from thePokémon franchise.
Origin[edit]
Togepi is a Normal-type Pokémon introduced inGeneration II, who was changed into a Fairy-type inGeneration VI, and is categorized within the Pokédex at #175 as the "Spike Ball Pokémon". It evolves intoTogetic when its Friendship reaches a certain point, gaining a secondary Flying type, and then intoTogekiss using aShiny Stone. It is very rarely found in the wild, and it's most often received as a gift when still anEgg.
Metronome is a very peculiar move naturally available to very few Pokémon: when selected, it allows the user to perform a move chosen randomly among almost all the moves existing in the game. Togepi can learn it naturally at a very low level in every game.
Togepi first appeared in episode 50 of the Pokémon anime,Who Gets to Keep Togepi?, over a year before appearing in a Generation II game. This makes Togepi the second Johto Pokémon with this distinction afterHo-Oh, which appeared inepisode one. Its western video game debut was inPokémon Puzzle League.
Satomi Korogi, its voice actress, as well as the voice ofPichu, reprises her role as Togepi in all regions and all games. FromMelee toSmash 4, her portrayal was re-purposed fromEP063 ofPokémon the Series: The Beginning; coinciding with Pichu's return as aplayable character inUltimate, Korogi provides a new voice clip that mimics her portrayal of the one used before.
InSuper Smash Bros. Melee[edit]
Togepi briefly appears in the opening sequence.
As a Poké Ball Pokémon[edit]
It uses Metronome as its attack. WhileClefairy's Metronome attack deals out various damaging attacks, Togepi's Metronome deals out status effects to all characters within a certain radius.
Togepi's Metronome is made up of five attacks that are chosen randomly (descriptive names are used in the absence of official names):
- Flower: Inflicts theflower status on any fighters who are in Togepi's glowing attack radius. Other than the flower damage, the attack hits consecutively with no knockback, and deals about 22%, with the first hit dealing the most damage.
- Freeze: A blast of ice is shot out. Any character stuck in the blast radius will befrozen for a couple of seconds and take damage. Unlike other freezing attacks, Powder Snow is ameteor smash, and as a result has no noticeable knockback on grounded characters. Deals about 10% damage.
- Sleep: Acts similar toBellossom's attack, except it's in a large radius and in a single burst. A character will fallasleep momentarily if they are in the attack's radius, taking about 10% damage. As with other attacks that induce sleep, it doesn't affect mid-air characters.
- Bury: Togepi starts shaking the ground. Anyone near Togepi will becomeburied for a couple of seconds, like the effect fromDonkey Kong'sHeadbutt attack. This attack looks similar toVenusaur's attack. Hits a maximum of 3 times, each one doing 5% damage.
- Darkness: Togepi releases a black magic aura, which completely blackens the screen for several full seconds, disorienting players, though computer-controlled characters are unaffected. Due to its undesirable nature, this attack is noticeably rarer than the other four.
Togepi has a spawn chance of30/583.
Trophy[edit]
Togepi features as a collectible trophy, unlocked as one of the 100+ trophies that can be collected randomly during normal play, such as in theTrophy Lottery and throughout the various single-player regular matches, though it only appears once 200 VS matches have been played.

Common superstition holds that their shells are chock-full of happiness and that they become good-luck charms when handled with kindness. It's impossible to predict which ability a Togepi will call upon when it uses its Metronome move, so you'd better be ready!

InSuper Smash Bros. Brawl[edit]
As a Poké Ball Pokémon[edit]
InSuper Smash Bros. Brawl, Togepi returns, while still using Metronome with a similar set of attacks to what it used inMelee. However, while each attack functions the same as it did inMelee, some attacks have been changed, namely:
- The sleep attack was changed to scatter dark, blue waves around Togepi, rather than small spores. Otherwise it has the same effect of putting opponents to sleep.
- The darkness attack was changed, with Togepi now releasing dense black smoke to obstruct the stage causing the same effect of the screen fading to black.
Togepi has a spawn chance of20/586.
Trophy[edit]
- Togepi
- A Spike Ball Pokémon. It's said that its shell is filled with joy, and a proverb asserts that if you can get a sleeping Togepi to stand up, you will gain happiness. Togepi can lower its opponent's attack power using Charm. Once it has become friends with its Trainer, Togepi evolves into Togetic.

- Togepi
This Fairy-type Pokémon grows by feeding off the happiness, fun, and kindness of others. It's always filled with joy! In Smash Bros., Togepi uses the unpredictable Metronome move on foes. This move can cause drowsiness, damaging-flower growth, or stage darkness.- :Pokémon Gold & Pokémon Silver (10/2000)
:Pokémon X & Pokémon Y (10/2013)
A Fairy-type Pokémon that's always sunny side up! It can siphon positive energy from people and spread it across the world. Its Metronome attack can have a wide variety of effects. Maybe it'll plunge the stage into darkness. Maybe it'll plant damage-dealing seeds on fighters' heads. Whatever it does, Togepi will leave fighters scrambling.- :Pokémon Gold/Silver (04/2001)
