Togekiss serves as a powerful stallbreaker for Fairy-type teams. Nasty Plot is the primary tool for that purpose, allowing Togekiss to handle slow defensive Pokemon such as Toxapex, Galarian Corsola, and Mandibuzz much more consistently and easily. Air Slash is Togekiss's only way of attacking, allowing Togekiss to potentially beat the aforementioned defensive Pokemon. Roost helps Togekiss remain healthy through the match, allowing it to sustain Stealth Rock damage and attacks from specially offensive Pokemon such as Hatterene and Dragapult. Thunder Wave allows Togekiss to cripple Choice Scarf Pokemon such as Duraludon, Drapion, Gengar, and Jirachi on the switch, as well as other fast Pokemon such as Dragapult, Charizard, and Hydreigon. Serene Grace complements Air Slash as it doubles the flinch chance, making Togekiss much more dangerous to face in conjunction with Nasty Plot and Thunder Wave. Togekiss should seek setup opportunities against defensive Pokemon that can't ditch out significant amounts of damage, such as Toxapex, Galarian Corsola, Clefable, and Mandibuzz. Togekiss should be wary of status effects such as poison and paralysis from foes such as Toxapex, defensive Seismitoad, and Celebi, though Togekiss can comfortably take on these Pokemon after one Nasty Plot.
Ribombee is one of Togekiss's best teammates, as it can provide Sticky Web support. Thanks to it, Togekiss's good Speed tier is enhanced even further, allowing Togekiss to outspeed foes such as Mimikyu and Salazzle. Furthermore, Ribombee's Stun Spore allows it to paralyze fast Ground-types such as Excadrill on the switch, which greatly helps Togekiss. Mimikyu is another decent partner that forms a solid offensive core with Togekiss, taking out problematic Ghost-types that pose a threat to Togekiss, such as Aegislash and Gengar, thanks to its Ghost typing and ability in Disguise. In return, Togekiss beats bulky Pokemon that Mimikyu struggles against, such as Snorlax, Toxapex, and Avalugg. Clefable provides Stealth Rock for Togekiss, thus allowing Togekiss to break types such as Ice and Fire more consistently. Clefable can opt for utility options such as Thunder Wave and Knock Off, which can be used to cripple foes even further. Furthermore, offensive Clefable variants form offensive cores with Togekiss, and Clefable's access to Flamethrower lets it handle certain Steel-types such as Ferrothorn and Corviknight. Hatterene can be used to take out Poison-types that pose a threat to Togekiss, most notably Salazzle. Furthermore, the combination of Trick Room and Mystical Fire allows Hatterene to handle Steel-types, most notably Excadrill, and take out Choice Scarf Duraludon. Its access to Magic Bounce allows Hatterene to bounce back Stealth Rock for Togekiss as well as status conditions such as Toxic and Thunder Wave. Gardevoir is another good offensive partner that can take out the aforementioned Poison-types. Furthermore, Gardevoir can chip down Steel-type foes with Focus Blast and heal Togekiss with Healing Wish if necessary. With Trace, Gardevoir also acts as a solid wincon against teams that rely on weather sweepers by copying their ability, such as rain Water and sun Grass. Finally, Alolan Ninetales provides Aurora Veil support for Togekiss, which makes Togekiss much more difficult to face.
