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.

Crystal Togepi Best Moveset

Best Build

Gen 2 build content has limited support (no abilities).

Try selecting a different game/generation filter, or check back later.

Moves

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 Headbutt for STAB and coverage across 9 types for reach, and the kit fills out nicely.
