Where Do I Find it!
Sometime after you complete the first gym in the Galar region, the grass-type leader Milo; you will need to progress through Route 5 in order to make it to the next gym leader.
Along the way to the second gym, you will come across a random building nestled in the middle of Route 5.
Upon entering this building you will notice that this is the Pokemon daycare, which is a place for you to drop off your companions, in order for them to level up; although it comes at a price.
Talking to one of the NPC's in this building will trigger the dialogue, where they will offer you a Toxel! The Toxel you receive is LVL 1 and does not evolve until LVL 30, until then it will not learn any moves and is essentially a baby Pokemon. Still a fantastic Pokemon to use if you have the patience to see it through leveling.
