Can Toxel Be Shiny in Pokemon GO?

As a seasoned gamer with countless hours spent traversing the digital landscapes of Pokemon GO, I can confidently say that the latest addition to the game, Toxel, has left me both excited and slightly underwhelmed. The prospect of adding a new baby Pokemon to my collection is always enticing, but the fact that it’s only available through eggs has me scratching my head.

This current season of Pokemon GO has introduced numerous monsters originating from the Galar region, with Toxel being the most recent one to join, appearing during the on-site Wild Area event. Luckily for those who couldn’t attend the event held in Fukuoka, Japan, there’s a chance for them to catch their own Electric/Poison baby Pokemon – Toxel. This creature has the potential to evolve into the punk rocker Toxtricity.

To obtain Toxel in Pokemon GO, you’ll have to participate in specific game events and collect a number of Pokemon GO eggs. In this guide, we’ll cover everything from getting Toxel in Pokemon GO, evolving it into Toxtricity, and the possibility of finding them in their shiny variations.

As per the Pokemon GO Blog announcement, Toxel is set to debut on November 18th at 12:01am local time within 10km eggs. During the upcoming ‘Into the Wild’ event, you can purchase the premium ‘Into the Wild: Hatch timed research’. This special research will enhance your chances of hatching Toxel while it is active. Additionally, during the ‘Wild Area Global’ event, Toxel will be found in 10km eggs, enabling you to potentially hatch it until November 24th at 6:15pm local time.

In the game Pokemon GO, Toxel doesn’t stand out as a strong combatant, with a maximum combat power (CP) of just 821. Its statistics are distributed as 97 Attack points, 65 Defense points, and 120 Stamina points. It has only two attacking moves: Acid and Power-Up Punch. However, Toxel’s combined type, while decent for defense, presents a weakness against Psychic and Ground types. Particularly, Pokemon like Drilbur and especially Excadrill can effectively counter Toxel. On the positive side, Toxel, along with its evolved form, is resistant to attacks from Bug, Electric, Fairy, Fighting, Flying, Grass, Poison, and Steel types.

In Pokemon GO, transforming Toxel requires 400 Toxel candies. Since a buddy’s distance needs to be 5 kilometers for the candy to accumulate, it might take a while to collect enough candy for one evolution, let alone both forms. The fastest method to achieve this evolution is by joining Toxtricity Dynamax raids or braving G-Max raids during the Wild Area Global event from November 23 at 10am local time until November 24 at 6:15pm local time. If you can’t wait for that timeframe, you’ll probably have to use a lot of rare candies instead.

Toxtricity has a more favorable stat distribution no matter which version you get. It has 244 ATK, 140 DEF, and 181 STA, and can reach a total of 2941 CP. It has access to three Fast moves: Poison Jab, Acid, and Spark. Out of all three, Poison Jab has the best overall DPS.

Among the choices for Charge moves you have, Wild Charge and Discharge are Electric attacks, with Wild Charge being the more effective one despite not receiving a Same Type Attack Bonus (STAB). Power-Up Punch, on the other hand, is the preferred choice among the remaining two moves due to its ability to widen your Toxtricity’s attack range.

You have a slim possibility of hatching a radiant Toxel during both the Into the Wild and Wild Area Global events. Since Toxel isn’t found naturally, through research tasks, or in raid battles, conventional methods won’t boost your chances of discovering the shiny variant. However, Toxtricity will make an appearance with its radiant form during the Wild Area Global event, appearing in Dynamax and G-Max raids.

Pokemon GO: Get Shiny Toxel By Hatching Eggs

At the “Into the Wild” gathering, you have the opportunity to purchase the “Into the Wild: Hatch” ticket for $5. This limited-time offer provides benefits during egg hatching. One such benefit is an enhancement that raises the probability of obtaining a Toxel from 10km eggs, and another reduces the distance required for hatching by half. With the use of Super Incubators, you can further cut the distance in half. Consequently, a 10km egg will hatch following only 2.5 kilometers of walking.
