Here's what happens to Togepi in SoulSilver:
* Hatching: Togepi is found as an egg from the Day Care in the town of Goldenrod City. You can get the egg from the Day Care man after he notices you talking to the two trainers outside his facility.
* Evolution: Togepi evolves into Togetic at level 38, and then further into Togekiss when it learns the move "Shiny Stone" and is exposed to a Shiny Stone (which can be obtained from the Game Corner in Goldenrod).
* Benefits of having Togepi: While Togepi and its evolutions aren't essential for the game, they can offer a few advantages:
* Fairy Type: Togetic and Togekiss are Fairy types, which are very effective against many common Pokémon in the game (like Dragon-types).
* Special Attack: Togepi and its evolutions have high Special Attack stats, making them good for using powerful special moves.
* Cute Factor: Let's be honest, who doesn't love a Togepi?
So, even if you don't get a Togepi, you'll still have a great time playing SoulSilver. If you're up for a challenge, you can even try defeating the game without using any Fairy-type Pokémon at all!
