Where to Find Toedscool in Pokemon GO

As of Adventure Week 2025, shiny Toedscool and shiny Toedscruel are not available in Pokemon GO. While Toedscool makes its in-game debut, the shiny spotlight is on Wiglett for this event. There’s no confirmation on when the shiny versions of Toedscool and Toedscruel will drop, but based on past trends, Niantic often saves shiny releases for future events.
Why You Should Still Hunt Toedscool in Pokemon GO Now
Even without a shiny release, Toedscool is worth farming during Adventure Week. Here’s why: • Niantic frequently releases shinies in future versions of the same event, like the next Adventure Week or through special research. • Catching Toedscool in bulk now ensures you have plenty of candy to instantly evolve a shiny one when it finally becomes available. • Its limited-time availability means waiting until next year might be your only option if you miss this window.
Tips to Increase Toedscool Encounters
• Go Biome Hunting: Stick to Forest and Grassland biomes. Parks, wooded trails, and green rural areas are your best bet. • Use Incense: Incense lasts two hours during the event and can drastically increase your chances, especially while walking. • Complete Event Research: Adventure Week includes Field and Timed Research tasks that may offer bonus encounters or useful rewards. • Plan for Future Trades: Stocking up on extra Toedscool now means you’ll have trade fodder if shiny forms drop later.
