Tympole Guide

  • Palpitoad at level 25 is the mid-stage. Push through to Seismitoad at level 36 for the final form. 294 BST right now won't cut it long-term.

  • Level 25 gets you Palpitoad. Not the fastest evolution, so consider Exp. Share or route grinding to speed it up.

  • For Winds & Waves, you can run Tympole through the first few routes without issues. 294 BST won't carry you far though. Get it to Palpitoad as fast as you can.
