Stats & Training
Togedemaru's spread isn't flashy. Attack leads, Sp. Atk trails, 2 stats clear the bar. Common in the wild and worth 2 Attack EVs, on a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
When it’s surprised or agitated, the 14 fur spikes on its back will stand up involuntarily.
Its capacity to produce electricity is somewhat limited, so it gets charged up by letting lightning strike it!
Togedemaru Weakness
Ground, Fire, and Fighting moves hit Togedemaru for super-effective damage. Ground hits land at 4x, so they're the biggest threat. The upside? Poison-type moves can't touch it at all. 11 resistances give it solid defensive coverage on top of that. Lightning Rod grants an additional Electric immunity, reshaping the matchup chart. Togedemaru leans offensive (base 98 Atk) rather than trying to tank its weaknesses.

Togedemaru Guide
For Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, it depends on your team. Togedemaru at 435 BST isn't a powerhouse, but the Electric/Steel coverage might be exactly what you're missing.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Don't let Togedemaru's 435 base stat total fool you. Lightning Rod is what makes it tick. It punches way above its weight class. We rate it C-Tier. Spikyshield with Shellbell is the standard set.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Run Lightning Rod on Togedemaru. It's the ability that defines how you build around it and the main reason it holds a competitive niche. Togedemaru also gets Iron Barbs and Sturdy, but they don't compare.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Electric/Steel typing gives Togedemaru 12 resistances plus Poison immunity. Base 98 Attack is the standout stat. 435 BST gives it a workable foundation.
