Quick Links
Ground/Grass-type Toedscool and Toedscruel are likely to be mistaken for regional variants of Tentacool and Tentacruel. However, like Wiglett and Wugtrio, they are an entirely different species. With returning and new Grass and Ground-type Pokemon inScarlet & Violet, you may be wondering if Toedscruel is a good Pokemon to use in battle or raids. Toedscool and Toedscruel aren’t rare inScarlet & Violet, so you’ll have plenty of time to decide whether to keep them in the party.
Where to Find Toedscool in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet
Toedscool Location
Toedscool can be found in theSouth, East,andWest Provinceshanging around tree trunks in their respective habitats. Because they’re such common Pokemon, you’ll want to narrow your search to make finding them easier. You should look for Toedscool in the following locations:
Refer tothe objective flag on the images belowfor Toedscool spawn locations:
If you want Toedscool somewhat early in your playthrough, you should search for them in East Province (Area Two). They’re also ideal for Levincia’s gym battle, which specializes in Electric-type Pokemon. You should take a Flying Taxi to the watch tower on the hill near Levincia’s southern exit.
If you’re near Medali, you’ll find a variety of Pokemon roaming about the area outside the city. Among these are Toedscool, and they’re ata higher level than their East Province-counterparts. The Toedscool in this area are above their evolution level, so you can simply level them up one more time to trigger the evolution.
Finally, Socarrat Trail, which is north of Casseroya Lake, is full of Bug and Grass-types. However, at this point in your playthrough, you may already have a Grass-type on your team.
In short:
You can also get Toedscool from 1-star Tera Raids. These will be available as soon as you begin your Treasure Hunt. Pokemon caught from 1-star Tera Raids will belevel 12, and their Tera Typing may not match their base Typing. Meaning you could end up with a Toedscool that has an Electric Tera Typeinstead of Ground or Grass.
How to Evolve Toedscool into Toedscruel
Where to Find Toedscruel
If you want Toedscruel, you’ll need to evolve Toedscool. Toedscool evolves into Toedscruel atlevel 30. As mentioned earlier, you may already have a Toedscool that’s above its evolution level if you caught one near Medali or Socarrat Trail. Level it up once via Rare Candy or Exp. Candy to make it a Toedscruel.
Toedscruel Locations (Paldea and Kitakami)
You can alsocatch Toedscruel in the wild. Unlike Toedscool, Toedscruel only appears inone area in Paldea, and that’sSocarrat Trail.You’ll find Toedscruel surrounded by Toedscools.
If you bought the Expansion Pass, then you can look for Toedscruels in Kitakami:
Like Toedscool, Toedscruel can be found in Tera Raids. They only appear in4-star and 6-star Tera Raids. 4-star Tera Raids unlock when you have 7 gym badges; 6-star Tera Raids appear when you’ve completed the Academy Ace Tournament in the post-game.
Toedscruel Weaknesses and Stats
Is Toedscruel Worth Using?
Toedscruel being aGround/Grass-typemeans it has some more type coverage that regular Grass and Ground-type don’t have. However, it also gains more weaknesses. Its dual-typing makes it extremely weak to Ice-type moves, so you’ll want to keep it away from those as much as you’re able to.

Toedscruel doesn’t have a very high Attack or Special Attack base stat. However, if you want to use it offensively, you should give it special movessuch as Sludge Bombor Energy Ball. On the plus side, Toedscruel has great Special Defense and Speed, essentially making it a speedy, special wall. Therefore, if you want a Pokemon that has high Special Defense and Speed with only four type weaknesses, then you may want to consider Toedscruel.
Toedscruel only has one Ability, and that’s Mycelium Might. This allows a user’s status move to hit the target regardless of the target’s own Ability (ex: Big Pecks). On the downside, if Toedscruel uses a status move, it will always moveafterthe opponent.
