It grows dispirited if it is not with kind people. It can float in midair without moving its wings.

Togetic HeartGold & SoulSilver Guide

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

  • Togetic 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 Togetic. It strengthens physical moves to inflict 1.5× damage, but decreases their accuracy to 0.8×. Serene Grace is the other option. Pick based on what your team needs.

  • Togetic is a special attacker with base 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 HeartGold & SoulSilver, For a casual playthrough, Togetic works as a placeholder. normal,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.
