If a 4 attacks set was going to be accepted Fire Blast is needed over Flamethrower just for the sheer power. Togepi needs all the power it can get. A modest maxed out Fire Blast guarantees the 2hko on Shroomish and foongus (barring a miss) which flamethrower doesn't do. (which is kinda a testament to Togepi's weakness). The set also probably needs Shadow Ball to hit Ghost types. To be honest if I was using this Togepi set that would go over Ancient Power for me. Relying on a 20% boost is too unreliable. In general this set is just going to switched in and beaten by fighting types. It's really not worth it. Same goes for Nasty Plot set. Just too slow for that. Physically defensive is pointless as it's not really walling anything. Specially defensive is the most plausible but that set is outclassed by Lickitung who has tonnes more bulk. I've been really trying to think of a viable set for this guy and the only one I came up with was Good_Luck's paralysis mon with Wish/Protect/Thunder Wave/Body Slam. I'd still much rather use Lickitung despite the lack of thunderwave and high paralysis chance of bodyslam though. I suppose Togepi does have a niche of basically just paralysing the switch in then running away. A paralysed Mienfoo can really suck for many players.
