Toedscool's spread isn't flashy. Sp. Def leads, Defense trails, 1 stats clear the bar. Common in the wild and worth 1 Sp. Def EV, on a 1.06M XP medium-slow curve.
Toedscool lives in muggy forests. The flaps that fall from its body are chewy and very delicious.
Though it looks like Tentacool, Toedscool is a completely different species. Its legs may be thin, but it can run at a speed of 30 mph.
Toedscool is weak to Ice, Fire, Flying, and Bug. Watch out for Ice attacks, those deal 4x damage. On the flip side, it's immune to Electric-type moves entirely. Toedscool's special bulk (base 100 Sp.Def) helps absorb special-type weaknesses, though physical moves exploit the lower Defense.
| Damage | Types |
|---|---|
| 4x (Critical) | Ice |
| 2x (Weak) | Fire, Flying, Bug |
| 0.5x (Resist) | Ground, Rock |
| 0x (Immune) | Electric |

Toedscool evolves into Toedscruel. It's a two-stage chain with the method shown below. Plenty of partners for breeding via one egg group. Eggs are average hatch time. Evolving adds up to 180 stat points total. View every chain in the Evolution Chart.
How to Evolve
The 50% bulk from Eviolite is no joke. Toedscool takes hits that fully evolved Pokemon can't, especially with spread EVs pushing the fast special side. Rapid Spin gives it offensive presence.
