Design and Characteristics
Togepi, known as the Spike Ball Pokémon, is a baby Pokémon that is considered a symbol of good luck. Togepi is a small, light yellow Pokémon with a round body that is still encased in its egg shell. It has red and blue rings on it, suggesting that its real body has the same pattern. Togepi has stubby hands and round feet with two toes each. It has black eyes and five spikes on its head. Togepi is filled with joy, because it is able to siphon the positive energy of others, and release it to those in need of it. Making a sleeping Togepi stand up is said to bring happiness.
In Pokémon Gold and Silver, Togepi gained an evolution called Togetic, which is obtainable after raising a Togepi to a certain degree of happiness. After evolving, it loses its shell, while keeping the red and blue pattern. They also now have a relatively long neck and long legs and a pair of wings on their backs, giving them a vaguely angelic appearance. In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, Togepi gained a new final evolution called Togekiss. In order to obtain one, the player must use a Shiny Stone on a Togetic. Togekiss more resembles a Dove, gaining a plumper body, longer wings, and shorter legs.

Famous quotes containing the word design:
“For I choose that my remembrances of him should be pleasing, affecting, religious. I will love him as a glorified friend, after the free way of friendship, and not pay him a stiff sign of respect, as men do to those whom they fear. A passage read from his discourses, a moving provocation to works like his, any act or meeting which tends to awaken a pure thought, a flow of love, an original design of virtue, I call a worthy, a true commemoration.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
