Electric moves don't affect Toedscruel at all — that's the advantage of Ground/Grass typing. It clears the crowded base-100 Speed benchmark. Known as the Woodear Pokemon. Can go either physical or special depending on the set.
Sp. Def and Speed carry most of Toedscruel's stat budget. Defense's the obvious dump stat. Moderately hard to find and yields 2 Sp. Def EVs. Follows a 1.06M XP medium-slow curve.
These Pokémon gather into groups and form colonies deep within forests. They absolutely hate it when strangers approach.
It coils its 10 tentacles around prey and sucks out their nutrients, causing the prey pain. The folds along the rim of its head are a popular delicacy.
Toedscruel Weakness
VulnerableIce, Fire, Flying, and Bug-type moves hit Toedscruel for super-effective damage. Ice hits land at 4x, so they're the biggest threat. The upside? Electric-type moves can't touch it at all. Toedscruel's special bulk (base 120 Sp.Def) helps absorb special-type weaknesses, though physical moves exploit the lower Defense.

Myceliummight helps Toedscruel stick around while dealing real damage. Heavy-Duty Boots for hazard immunity on every switch-in, max Sp. Atk and Speed EVs for the right balance, and Rapid Spin as the main threat. Not the fastest, but it doesn't need to be.
