Gift Pokémon

Like previous games, there are a variety of points within the game where you get given a Pokémon. These Pokémon for the most part take your ID and Number but are yours to keep. You need to have a space in your party in order to receive these Pokémon.

#175 Togepi

The first gift Pokémon you get given is an Egg of Togepi. This Egg is the Mysterious Egg you get sent to collect at the start. After you beat Falkner at the Violet Gym, you will get a call stating that Professor Elm's aide has the Egg for you. He is in Violet City's PokéMart. Hatch the egg and you will quickly discover that the Togepi also has one of Togepi's Egg moves; Extrasensory
