Togetic Heartgold
$title$

Togetic is a Flying/Fairy-type Pokémon from the Johto region, known for its graceful appearance and gentle nature. In the Heartgold and Soulsilver games, Togetic can evolve into Togekiss, a powerful and elegant Pokémon with increased stats and access to new moves. To evolve Togetic into Togekiss, however, requires a unique method not found in any other game in the series; it must level up while knowing the move “Sweet Kiss” with high Friendship.

To teach Togetic Sweet Kiss, players must first obtain the TM for the move. This TM can be found in the Goldenrod Department Store, located in the north-western part of the city. Once Togetic has learned Sweet Kiss, it is important to raise its Friendship. Friendship can be increased by talking to Togetic, giving it items it enjoys, and battling alongside it. A Togetic with high Friendship will evolve into Togekiss upon leveling up, gaining access to powerful moves like Aura Sphere and Air Slash.

Togekiss is a valuable addition to any team, combining high Special Attack and Special Defense with a diverse movepool. Its Fairy and Flying-type combination gives it a wide array of resistances, making it a dependable choice in various battles. Whether soaring through the skies or supporting its allies with healing moves, Togekiss is a Pokémon that embodies grace, power, and unwavering loyalty.

Acquiring the Shiny Stone

The Shiny Stone is a crucial item required to evolve Togetic into Togekiss. It is a rare and valuable stone that can be found in a few specific locations in the HeartGold version of the Pokémon game.

There are three primary ways to obtain the Shiny Stone in HeartGold:

Method	Description
Goldenrod Underground	You can find the Shiny Stone in the Underground’s Diglett’s Cave at random while mining with the Mining Kit. However, the chances of finding it are relatively low.
Pokeathlon	You can earn a Shiny Stone as a prize by participating in the Pokeathlon. The Pokeathlon is a series of skill-based minigames that reward players with valuable items upon completion.
Trade	The Shiny Stone can also be obtained through trading with other players. If you have another Pokémon game, you can transfer the Shiny Stone from one game to the other by using the GTS (Global Trade Station).

Trading with a Friend

Evolving Togetic into Togekiss requires trading while holding a Shiny Stone. You cannot evolve it by leveling it up or using evolution stones. Therefore, you need to find a friend who is willing to trade with you.

Step 1: Obtain a Shiny Stone. You can find it on Route 229 or as a reward for completing the Pokéwalker course 25 times.
Step 2: Give the Shiny Stone to Togetic to hold.
Step 3: Connect your Nintendo DS to your friend’s DS via Wi-Fi or local wireless connection.
Step 4: Initiate a trade with your friend.
Step 5: Select Togetic from your trade list and ensure it is holding the Shiny Stone. Then, select any Pokémon from your friend’s list and offer it in exchange. Once the trade is confirmed, Togetic will evolve into Togekiss immediately.

Platform	Method
Nintendo DS	Local wireless connection or Wi-Fi

Egg Hatching Variant

Togetic can also be obtained by hatching a Togepi egg. Togepi is a Flying/Fairy-type Pokémon that evolves into Togetic at level 25.
The egg can be obtained from a female Pokémon of the Flying or Fairy-type if it is paired with a male Pokémon of the Flying or Fairy-type.

The following table provides additional details about Togepi eggs:

Egg Cycle	15 steps
Egg Power	50
Egg Group	Flying/Fairy

Pokéwalker Method

Step 1: Acquire a Pokéwalker

Obtain a Pokéwalker from the Poké Mart in Goldenrod City or from a friend.

Step 2: Insert Pokémon into the Pokéwalker

Transfer Togetic from your party to the Pokéwalker.

Step 3: Walk for 256 Miles

Walk a total of 256 miles with Togetic in the Pokéwalker. You can check the distance walked by connecting the Pokéwalker to your Nintendo DS.

Step 4: Happiness Level

Ensure that Togetic has a high happiness level. You can build happiness by feeding it Berries, petting it in the Pokéwalker, or battling with it.

Step 5: Level Up During the Night

Once Togetic has walked 256 miles and has a high happiness level, level it up during the nighttime.

Step 6: Check Morning Time

Check the in-game clock. If it is morning, Togetic should have evolved into Togekiss.

Step 7: Evolution Confirmation

If Togekiss has not evolved, continue walking with it for a few more steps and ensure that it meets all the above requirements.

Step 8: Additional Information

The Pokéwalker will not count steps taken indoors. Walk outside in a clear area for optimal step counting.
You can check Togetic’s happiness level by interacting with it in the Pokéwalker or by viewing its status summary in your game.
If Togetic has low happiness, it may not evolve even after fulfilling the other requirements. Consider walking more miles and interacting with it to raise its happiness.

Requirement	Details
Pokéwalker Distance	256 miles
Happiness Level	High
Level Up Time	Nighttime

Evolution Mechanics

Togetic evolves into Togekiss when it is leveled up knowing the move “Ancient Power” during the day. This move is learned at level 44 for Togetic in HeartGold.

How to Teach Ancient Power to Togetic

There are three ways to teach Ancient Power to Togetic:

Level up Togepi until it learns Ancient Power at level 44.
Use a TM to teach Ancient Power to Togetic.
Breed a Togetic with a Pokémon that knows Ancient Power.

Additional Notes

The time of day is determined by the game clock, not the real-world time. So, if you want your Togetic to evolve into Togekiss during the day, you need to level it up during the in-game daytime hours.
If you level up Togetic at night while it knows Ancient Power, it will not evolve into Togekiss.

Requirement	Method
Togetic knows Ancient Power	Level up at Level 44 or higher
Time of day	Daytime (in-game time)

How to Evolve Togetic in HeartGold

Togetic evolves into Togekiss when it levels up with a high Friendship stat. Friendship is a hidden stat that increases when you spend time with your Pokémon, such as by battling, walking with it, or feeding it. There are a few ways to raise your Togetic’s Friendship more quickly:

Battle with it frequently.
Walk with it in your party.
Feed it Berries.
Use the Soothe Bell item on it.
Use the Relaxing Spot feature at the Pokewalker.

Once your Togetic’s Friendship stat is high enough, it will evolve into Togekiss the next time it levels up.
