Togepi, the Spike Ball Pokemon

This little guy is cute, and now you can make him deadly! I note now that this breeding must be done in Generation IV games. We will be breeding for the Seren Grace ability.

Serene Grace is an ability that doubles the chance of added effects happening in your attacks. Water Pulse would have a 40% chance to Confuse the enemy rather than a 20% chance, Poison Jab would have a 60% to Poison the enemy rather tha a 30% chance, and so forth.

The moves the final product will hatch with are as follows:

Water Pulse
Shock Wave
Wish
Ancient Power

First, the process to get they cute little guys, it's actually fairly easy;

1) Teach a male Togetic Water Pulse and Shock Wave through their respective TMs, and level it up to lv 33 to teach it Ancient Power and Wish.
2) Raise a female Togetic to lv 33 so that it knows Ancient Power and Wish.
3) Breed the male Togetic and the female Togetic.
4) Continue breeding until you get a Togepi with the Srene Grace ability. The best Natures would be something to lower Attack.

You're probably thinking "Brock, that's not a very powerful moveset! What have you been smoking?"

Well first of all, I've been smoking dope, which is why I have no eyes. Kids, don't smoke dope.

And I see the low power of these moves, but I can explain. Water Pulse is the only Water attack a Togepi/Togetic/Togekiss can learn, and it confuses. With Serene Grace, it will confuse the enemy almost half of the time. Wish and Ancient Power are the best moves a Togepi/Togetic learns, as Wish can heal anyone on your team, really, and Ancient Power is the only Rock attack it can learn. Shock Wave is a nice attack that never misses, and is the only Electric attack it can know other than Thunder Wave. These moves let you have a lot of variation in your pokemon moveset. You will no doubt change a few things here and there, because it is a less-powerful build than others.

Another question you may have is "Why do I have to use Togetics to breed? Won't Togepis work just as well and I won't have to worry about happiness?"

Sadly, no. Togepis, along with many "baby pokemon", are in the "No Eggs" group. However, Togetics and Togekisses are in the Field and Flying groups. You can't use Togekisses because they cannot learn Wish or Ancient Power unless they already know it from being a Togetic. Think of it like "babies can't have babies" and it makes some sense.

No matter how you vary the Togepi once it is hatched, you should teach it Air Slash when it becomes a Togekiss, because it will have a 60% chance to make the enemy Flinch if your Togekiss has Serene Grace.

This is a build that was designed to let you change the build to your desire, if that makes sense. Some sample builds that grow from that one;

1) The Never-Miss Togekiss
Shock Wave
Aerial Ace
Magical Leaf
Aura Sphere
*for this build, the Hustle ability is a better option than Seren Grace

2) The "Can't Touch This" Togekiss
Air Slash
Water Pulse
Thunder Wave
Attract

Or you could simply use this Togetic to breed these moves into other pokemon. A warning, however; if you migrate this Togepi to Generation V games and try to breed there, Water Pulse and Shock Wave will not carry through, as they are no longer TM moves in those games.

As always, your thoughts and ideas will be heard.

Brock Out.
