Togekiss Weakness
Togekiss has no type weaknesses thanks to its unique defensive typing.
- Fairy type does not exist — Dragon has fewer checks
- Physical / Special split now per-move (introduced Gen IV)
Diamond & Pearl Evolution
Togekiss doesn't evolve through normal leveling. You'll need an evolution item to get here from Togepi's line. Breed this form to get Togepi eggs (quick to hatch). Evolving from Togepi gave Togekiss the biggest boost in Sp.Atk (+80), bringing the total to 545 stats. View every chain in the Evolution Chart.

Diamond & Pearl Togekiss Best Moveset
Timid nature gives Togekiss the fast special lean it needs to trade hits effectively. Leftovers adds passive recovery each turn, max Sp. Atk and Speed EVs split the difference, and the remaining moves punishes anything trying to wall it. Roost keeps it topped off between trades.

Moves
Sky Attack and Dream Eater bring the raw damage. But Togekiss also picks up coverage across 13 types from TMs, making it tough to find a safe switch. You're not locked into one angle here.

How to Get Togekiss in Diamond & Pearl
Can't catch Togekiss directly. Start with Togepi at decent rates from the locations below, then evolve through a special method. The 3-stage chain from Togepi to Togekiss is where the leveling time goes.
Togekiss Guide
In Diamond & Pearl, Togekiss has a 545 base stat total and ranks as B-Tier: a solid option in Diamond & Pearl for the right team. It works best as a wallbreaker. Air Slash with Leftovers is the standard set.
Togekiss has no type weaknesses, making it hard to counter through typing alone. Focus on status moves, entry hazards, or raw neutral damage to take it down.
Hustle is the go-to ability for Togekiss. 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.
In Diamond & Pearl, Togekiss fills the wallbreaker role. It's leaning toward the special side (base 120 Sp. Atk). Base 80 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many. And it's tanky enough to absorb a few hits.
In Diamond & Pearl, the best way to handle Togekiss: Status moves (Toxic, Will-O-Wisp) wear it down. Setup sweepers can use it as a boost opportunity. Physical attackers can break through.
Game Availability
Togekiss has been available in 12 games since Diamond & Pearl, though obtaining it requires an item-based evolution. This extra step makes it less common than Pokemon found through standard wild encounters.
