Ground and Ghost moves don't affect Toucannon at all — that's the advantage of Normal/Flying typing. Sheer Force drops secondary effects for a straight power boost. Known as the Cannon Pokemon. The stat spread favors raw physical power.
Attack and HP carry most of Toucannon's stat budget. Speed's the obvious dump stat. Tough to catch and yields 3 Attack EVs. Follows a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
They smack beaks with others of their kind to communicate. The strength and number of hits tell each other how they feel.
Known for forming harmonious couples, this Pokémon is brought to wedding ceremonies as a good luck charm.
Toucannon Weakness
GoodElectric, Ice, and Rock-type moves hit Toucannon for super-effective damage. The upside? Ground and Ghost-type moves can't touch it at all. With 80 HP and balanced defenses, Toucannon can afford to eat a neutral hit or two.
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.
How to Evolve
Breed with Toucannon to get Pikipek eggs easily using 45 partners from the Flying egg group.
Start with max HP and Attack EVs. Adamant nature gives Toucannon the right physical lean, Life Orb adds extra damage on every hit for a health trade, and Skilllink works in the background. Boomburst is the main damage option.

Sheer Force changes the entire equation for Toucannon. The 485 BST doesn't tell the full story. Ranked C-Tier as a wallbreaker.
Sheer Force is what you want on Toucannon. Every competitive set worth running is built with that ability in mind. The alternatives (Keen Eye, Skill Link) work on paper but Sheer Force is what makes Toucannon worth using.
At base 60 Speed, it won't be moving first often. On offense, Toucannon is a physical attacker with base 120 Attack. Defensively? Enough bulk to take a hit or two. Best used as a wallbreaker.
