Kids summary (simpler)Tap to expand
Toedscool is the Woodear Pokémon — Ground and Grass before Toedscruel. In Pokémon GO it is usually candy on the way to Toedscruel — not a finished raid attacker. Ground/Grass hits Fire, Electric, Poison, Rock, Water, Ground, and Rock well; Ice hits it for 4×, and Fire and Flying punish it. Catch Toedscool from the wild, eggs, or events, then evolve.
