Toedscool Weakness

Toedscool is weak to Ice, Fire, Flying, and Bug. Watch out for Ice attacks, those deal 4x damage. On the flip side, it's immune to Electric-type moves entirely. Toedscool's special bulk (base 100 Sp.Def) helps absorb special-type weaknesses, though physical moves exploit the lower Defense.

Game Availability

Introduced in Scarlet & Violet, Toedscool has appeared in 1 games across 2 generations. Later debuts mean fewer total appearances, but it's been a consistent presence since its introduction.
