Toedscruel is a new Pokemon introduced in Gen 9, so here’s everything you need to know about its weaknesses, resistances, and strengths in the Pokemon franchise.

After the introduction of many regional variants, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet revealed brand-new species that resemble some fan-favorite Pokemon. Toedscruel is very similar to Tentacruel, but its different type combination makes it a completely new species.

So, if you’re scratching your head trying to figure things out, here are Toedscruel’s weaknesses, resistances, and strengths explained in the Pokemon franchise.

Toedscruel weaknesses in Pokemon explained

Toedscruel is a Ground/Grass-type Pokemon, which means it’s weak to Flying, Bug, Fire, and Ice-type attacks. What’s more, Toedscruel is 4x weak to Ice-type moves, so keep that in mind.

If you’re up against a Toedscruel, Ice-type Pokemon will be your safest bet. On the other hand, if you’re building a Toedscruel for your team, make sure you get cover with moves that are super-effective against Ice types or a Tera Type that can resist those attacks.

Toedscruel resistances in Pokemon explained

Toedscruel can only resist Ground and Rock-type moves in Pokemon but is immune to Electric-type attacks.

While the Toedscool line doesn’t boast many resistances, it only shares its type combination with Torterra, which might make it an unpredictable force. Also, it has an impressive Sp. Def of 120, so it’s a great asset to deal with special attackers.

Toedscruel strengths in Pokemon explained

Toedscruel deals super-effective damage to Ground, Rock, Water, Poison, Steel, Fire, and Electric-type Pokemon with its Ground and Grass-type STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus) moves.

At level 29 in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, Toedscruel can learn the Ghost-type attack Hex, which is super-effective against other Ghost types and Psychic-type Pokemon as well.

Best Toedscruel moves in Pokemon

The best moves for Toedscruel in Pokemon are Giga Drain, Earth Power, Rapid Spin, and Acid Spray.

  • Giga Drain is a must-have for lots of Grass-type Pokemon, as it can recover half of the damage it makes to opponents as HP.
  • Earth Power helps Toedscruel deal with some of the types it’s weak against by dealing STAB. What’s more, the move can lower the opponent’s Sp. Def, which can be really helpful against strong teams.
  • Rapid Spin is a great attack to free Toedscruel from different trap moves like Bind, Fire Spin, Spikes, or Whirlpool, among others. It also increases it Speed to make it relentless.
  • While Acid Spray doesn’t deal a lot of damage, it lowers the opponent’s Sp. Def by two stages. This move is ideal for a tank build but can also work great in other scenarios.}

Other powerful attacks for Toedscruel include Leech Seed, Knock Off, and Toxic. Spore is a great move to put opponents to sleep and it has great synergy with Toedscruel’s Ability, Mycelium Might.
