Where to find Tympole

Tympole is not a wild encounter on any of the standard maps.

Tympole can hatch from a River Egg. Now and then an encounter on a map turns up an egg instead of a wild Pokémon, and which eggs a map can drop depends on its types. The River Egg can drop on Frozen Cave, River Rafting, 0* Temperature, Desert Beach, and Wild Desert. Put the egg in an incubator to hatch it. See crafting and incubation.
