How to get Toedscool in Pokemon GO

• Wild encounters
• Trade

Wild encounters

At the time of release in July 2025, Toedscool will only be available in the Forest and Grassland biomes as a rare wild encounter. This means you might have to spend some time looking around for the Woodear Pokemon to find it.

In the wild, Toedscool's spawn rates are boosted by Sunny/Clear weather, thanks to its Grass- and Ground-typing. Without the weather boost, it can be found at a maximum of 892 CP. However, favorable weather boosts its maximum catch CP to 966 and its minimum IVs to 4/4/4

Trade

If you don't live in a Forest or Grassland biome and don't expect to visit one soon, you can ask an in-game friend to trade you a Toedscool in Pokemon GO. However, you should remember that this will count as a Special Trade and cost you a hefty amount of Stardust. Therefore, you should try to trade with a person you have a very high level of friendship with in-game.
