Togepi is best known as Misty’s sidekick in the original Pokémon anime. This adorable egg-shaped Pokémon returns in Pokémon Sword and Shield, and you can acquire one for yourself. However, finding this Pokémon can be quite tough.
In this guide, we’ll provide a complete guide for Togepi in Pokémon SWSH, including its location, evolution progression, abilities, and more. We’ll also cover an alternate method to acquire this Pokémon should you struggle to find it using the conventional method.
Togepi Location in Pokémon Sword and Shield
Togepi can only be found in the Wild Areas section of the map, particularly in the Bridge Field section, with a spawn chance of 2% during normal and overcast conditions. There is a 5% chance you’ll find one in the tall grass during foggy weather conditions.
To catch a Togepi, all you have to do is throw a standard Pokeball at it or battle it to get its HP down to 1 before you can deploy your ball to complete the catching process.
If you’re struggling to find Togepi in the wild, you can acquire one by trading in a Toxel. To do so, talk to the lady in the gray suit near the Pokémon Center in Hammerlocke. Do note that Toxels spawn in the same Bride Field area so keep an eye out for both Pokémon when you’re exploring this area.

| Evolution | Requirement |

Abilities, Strengths and Weaknesses
Togepi comes equipped with the following abilities:
- Hustle: Boost Attack, but lower Accuracy.
- Serene Grace: Boost the probability of additional effects occurring when attacking.
- Super Luck: Greater chances to land critical hits.
Togepi is a Fairy-Type Pokemon and, as a result, will take an increased amount of damage from Poison and Steel-type moves.
However, the cute little creature is resilient against Fighting, Bugs, and Dark and completely immune to Dragon-type moves.
