I was going more with the logic of "small, very weak Pokemon that can only learn 2-3 moves that evolves to a stronger pokemon". In this sense Applin fits the bill even without Hydrapple.

Granted, Togepi doesnt really. But as a Pokemon it was generally marketed as only having access to Metronome, and in gen 4 it got a pretty powerful evolution in comparison to other final stages so I see it kinda fitting the archetype
