Hatch Yoshi Egg During Chapter 3

Paper Mario TTYD Switch Remake - White Yoshi

Yoshi is a party member that will join Mario's adventure as you progress through the game.

As you climb through the Glitz Pit's rankings during Chapter 3, King K, the golden KP Koopa in the locker room, will tell Mario that the Hot Dog Stand outside in Glitzville has something special.

If you check out the shop, you'll see the vendor chasing a Yoshi egg around. Once you catch it, the Yoshi egg will follow you around but will still be unable to fight.

The Yoshi egg will not hatch until you reach rank 11 of the Glitz Pit during the fight with the Armored Harriers, which are two Iron Clefts. At first, you will not win the battle and need to run away, as you will have no way to beat the Iron Clefts. 

You will then head back to the locker room and find the Yoshi have hatched from the egg, who has the ability to defeat the Iron Clefts!

Do note that unlike your other party members, you will be able to name your newly-hatched Yoshi. Its color will also vary depending on how much time you've spent with the egg.
