Togedemaru Weakness
Ground, Fire, and Fighting moves hit Togedemaru for super-effective damage. Ground hits land at 4x, so they're the biggest threat. The upside? Poison-type moves can't touch it at all. 11 resistances give it solid defensive coverage on top of that. Lightning Rod grants an additional Electric immunity, reshaping the matchup chart. Togedemaru leans offensive (base 98 Atk) rather than trying to tank its weaknesses.

Togedemaru Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide
For Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, it depends on your team. Togedemaru at 435 BST isn't a powerhouse, but the Electric/Steel coverage might be exactly what you're missing.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Don't let Togedemaru's 435 base stat total fool you. Lightning Rod is what makes it tick. It punches way above its weight class. We rate it C-Tier as a pivot. Spikyshield with Shellbell is the standard set.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Run Lightning Rod on Togedemaru. It's the ability that defines how you build around it and the main reason it holds a competitive niche. Togedemaru also gets Iron Barbs and Sturdy, but they don't compare.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Togedemaru fills the pivot role. It's a physical attacker with base 98 Attack. Base 96 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many. And it's enough bulk to take a hit or two.
Game Availability
Introduced in Sun & Moon, Togedemaru has appeared in 3 games across 4 generations. Later debuts mean fewer total appearances, but it's been a consistent presence since its introduction.
