If you come across one, make sure to catch it!
19. Togepi
Element: Fairy-type
Misty’s Togepi from the Pokémon anime is as iconic as Ash’s Pikachu and Brock’s Onix. Togepi stands out for its adorable, childlike behavior and essential yet modest skills. Its cuteness even managed to temporarily halt a fight between Ash and Team Rocket when it first appeared in the anime.
