Dawn's Togekiss: Difference between revisions

'''Dawn's Togekiss''' (Japanese: '''ヒカリのトゲキッス''' ''Hikari's Togekiss'') was the eighth overall {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{an|Dawn}} obtained in the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]]. Togekiss [[Original Trainer|originally belonged]] to [[Princess Salvia]] before being given to Dawn.

Togekiss originally belonged to [[Princess Salvia]], a [[doppelgänger]] of Dawn who appeared in ''[[DP171|Dawn of a Royal Day!]]'', and who wished to compete in a [[Pokémon Contest]] to see what it was like. As the two had a near-identical appearance, they switched lives for a short time, with Dawn secretly becoming Salvia and Salvia, dressed as Dawn, using Togekiss in the [[Arrowroot Town]] Contest. Doing very well for her first Contest, Salvia managed to win the Contest but gave the awarded Ribbon to her opponent, [[Jessie|Jessilina]], instead, as Dawn already had the required Ribbons for entry into the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival|Grand Festival]]. To allow her to continue competing in Contests, Salvia gave Togekiss to Dawn.

In ''[[DP172|With the Easiest of Grace!]]'', Dawn began training Togekiss for the Grand Festival, during which she became fast friends with {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}. Ash volunteered to use {{AP|Gible}} against Togekiss for a training match, and while the two were evenly matched, Togekiss's motherly instincts came to the fore when she shielded Piplup from Gible's still unreliable {{m|Draco Meteor}}. Togekiss then talked with Gible, warning him to be more careful with his moves, making Gible regret his past carelessness.

In [[DPS01]], she was used to help fight off the {{p|Ariados}} that were attacking Dawn and [[Shinko]]. She was caught in {{m|String Shot}} and couldn't do anything until Cyndaquil [[Evolution|evolved]] into {{TP|Dawn|Quilava}} and saved her.

In ''[[BW086|Piplup, Pansage, and a Meeting of the Times!]]'', Togekiss was introduced to {{Ash}}, {{an|Iris}}, and {{an|Cilan}}'s Pokémon alongside the rest of Dawn's Pokémon.

Togekiss appeared in a flashback in ''[[JN075|A Midsummer Night's Light!]]''.

Initially, Dawn and Togekiss had trouble adapting to each other's battling styles, as Dawn believed they couldn't fight effectively, as Togekiss would try to make her attacks as graceful as possible before launching them, such as dancing around in the sky and twirling to show off her [[appeal]], which would cause their opponents to gain more than enough time to either recover or defend themselves. However, Dawn quickly decided to adapt to Togekiss's battling style, although Togekiss also decided to slightly adapt to Dawn's more straight-forward style, as while continuing to showcase her moves before firing them, she would accelerate her efforts to prevent her opponents from getting the upper hand.

The {{type|Flying}} moves combine to create a crimson aura that surrounds the two Pokémon. The combination was used during a [[Double Battle|two-on-two]] [[Contest Battle]] against [[Zoey's Glameow]] and {{p|Gallade}} in the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]].
