Strategy Overview

Togekiss's typing, reliable recovery, and infamous ability to make checks flinch with Serene Grace Air Slash let it thrive as either a wallbreaker or a utility Pokemon. Its bulk and typing allow it to comfortably check common Pokemon like Noivern, and its recovery helps it outlast its offensive checks, most commonly Electric-types. Various move choices give Togekiss answers to some of its usual counterplay, such as Flamethrower and Aura Sphere for Steel-types and Heal Bell for Toxic. However, common Electric-types like Raikou and Xurkitree mean that most teams will have a way to handle Togekiss's Air Slash and potential Thunder Wave. Reliance on Heavy-Duty Boots means that Togekiss greatly dislikes taking Knock Off, making Incineroar, Golisopod, and Pangoro less favorable matchups than they would appear. Togekiss is a situational check to Fighting-type Pokemon despite its typing because most have a way to get around it, such as Lucario and Toxicroak threatening it with their other STAB moves; this forces Togekiss's team to find other checks to Fighting-types.
