Toxel
Say it: TO-xe-l
Kids summary (simpler)Tap to expand
Toxel is the Baby Pokémon — Electric and Poison before Toxtricity (Amped or Low Key Form). In Pokémon GO it is usually candy on the way to Toxtricity — not a finished raid attacker. Electric helps against Water and Flying; Poison helps against Grass and Fairy. Ground hits both types hard. Hatch Toxel from eggs or catch from events, then evolve (form depends on nature — confirm live).
Say it: TO-xe-l
Toxel (#848) is an Electric / Poison Pokémon in Pokémon GO — the baby stage of Toxtricity. Trainers almost never power Toxel for raids; the value is candy and IVs for Toxtricity (Amped or Low Key). Against Toxel, lead with Ground (best), or Psychic. Stats, type chart, moves, and counter picks below use our Game Master snapshot.

Pokédex notes
Toxel is a Electric / Poison-type Pokémon in Pokémon GO. National Dex #0848. Electric counters dominate Water raids — pair with weather when possible.
Where in GO: Wild spawns, eggs, Field Research, and seasonal events
Invest tip: Do not sink Stardust into Toxel. Keep high-IV copies for Toxtricity. Shadow Toxel is the same — evolve toward Shadow Toxtricity after Frustration removal. Amped vs Low Key form affects charged move preference — confirm live.
