General Info on Togepi:

Togepi are one of the 493 fictional species of Pokémon creatures from the Pokémon media franchise. The purpose of Togepi in the games, anime, and manga, as with all other Pokémon, is to battle both wild Pokémon—untamed creatures encountered while the player passes through various environments—and tamed Pokémon owned by Pokémon trainers.

The Pokédex says that this Pokémon's "shell is filled with joy" and that it will bring happiness to its trainer as it travels along with him/her.

Togepi's name is derived from the Japanese "toge", meaning "spike", and "pii", the sound a chick or small bird makes.

It is most famous for being the first of the second generation Pokémon to be known, although Ash did see a Ho-Oh in the first episode but it wasn't named.
