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.

Ultra Sun

Known for forming harmonious couples, this Pokémon is brought to wedding ceremonies as a good luck charm.

Ultra Moon

Toucannon Weakness

Good

Electric, 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.

Without breeding, Toucannon misses out on Boomburst and Brave Bird. That's 5 egg moves adding depth that the base kit lacks. STAB comes from Boomburst and Sky Attack, with coverage across 8 types rounding things out.

    or evolve from Trumbeak (Step 2)
  • Sheer Force changes the entire equation for Toucannon. The 485 BST doesn't tell the full story. Ranked C-Tier as a wallbreaker.

  • Watch for Raikou (Electric), Kyurem (Ice), and Rhyperior (Rock) when using Toucannon. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB.

  • Trumbeak evolves into Toucannon at level 28. Toucannon is the final evolution in a 3-stage line starting from Pikipek. At 485 BST, it's got solid stats to work with.

  • 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.

  • Toucannon can be found in Scarlet & Violet, Sun & Moon, and Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon.

Toucannon joined the series in Sun & Moon and has been available in 3 titles so far. With 3 generations of appearances, it's established itself despite the later start.
