Same slow attacker in Gen IX (Scarlet & Violet). Beak Blast was unique but 60 Speed took a hit every turn. Two gens of the same rhythm.

Evolution
End of the line. Toucannon caps a three-stage chain that started at Pikipek. Breeding produces the base form, and eggs are quick to hatch. HP grew the most through evolution (+45 over Pikipek), and Toucannon peaks at 485 total stats. View every chain in the Evolution Chart.
How to Evolve
Breeding
Breed with Toucannon to get Pikipek eggs easily using 73 partners from the Flying egg group.
Shiny Toucannon
Toucannon replaces its orange-red beak gradient with a bright yellow-gold, and the angry toucan looks like it switched juice brands. The beak is the focal point of the design, so recoloring it actually does a lot of work. Solid payoff for the Pikipek line.

Use Toucannon as a wallbreaker. Physical side carries the damage. Not the fastest,
Build your team around Weezing Galar, Alomomola, and Clodsire. These have the highest co-usage rates with Toucannon in competitive formats. They cover each other's weaknesses.
Run Adamant on Toucannon. +Attack is what matters, and the -Sp. Atk cut doesn't hurt this set. Fits the wallbreaker role.
