How to Get a Lotad in Pokemon HeartGold

"Pokemon HeartGold" is part of the fourth generation "Pokemon" series, and it's the direct sequel to "Diamond," "Pearl" and "Platinum." Although the game features hundreds of Pokemon, a player cannot directly catch all of them. Instead, you must import some from a previous game. Lotad is one of these species. In order to get him, you must first catch him in "Diamond," "Pearl" or "Platinum." After that, you must load him into the "HeartGold" game and then capture him in Pal Park.
