[[Image:Misty's Togetic.jpg|right|frame|Misty says goodbye to Togetic.]]

'''Misty's Togetic''' (Japanese: '''カスミのトゲチック''' ''Kasumi's Togechick'') was found as a [[Pokémon egg]] by [[Ash Ketchum]] in [[Grandpa Canyon]] in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]''. Ash, [[Misty]], [[Brock]] and [[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Meowth]] fought over the egg and competed to determine who would be the eventual owner. When the Pokémon Egg hatched into {{p|Togepi}}, the first thing it saw was Misty, and it chose her as it's trainer, thinking that she was its mother.  It ended up being the sixth Pokémon Misty got in the [[Kanto]] region. Its voice actress as both a Togepi and Togetic was ''[[Satomi Kōrogi]]''.

As Ash, Brock, May and Max met Misty near the gate to the [[Mirage Kingdom]] in ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]'', it was kidnapped again by [[Jessie]], [[James]] and Meowth, who were temporarily working for [[Colonel Hansen]], a crooked Mirage Kingdom official. Colonel Hansen wanted to get his hands on Misty's Togepi so he can rule the Mirage Kingdom. Since Colonel Hansen is an impure-hearted person, his taking over the Mirage Kingdom would destroy the Togepi Paradise. It later evolved into a Togetic in ''[[AG044|A Togepi Mirage!]]'', and helped Ash and company defeat Colonel Hansen. Misty released her Togetic to protect the Mirage Kingdom and the [[Togepi Paradise]] and the all Togepi who lived there.

==Fandom criticisms==

Amongst many fans, Misty's obtaining Togepi is considered the moment when her personality "[[wp:Jumping the shark|jumped the shark]]", and started to become drastically different.  Prior to Togepi's introduction, Misty was known for being angry, active, and prone to fits of competitive spirit and rage.  After she began to raise Togepi, her personality became significantly subdued as her character revolved more and more around the little Pokémon's wellbeing, leaving her little time for anything else.
