How to evolve Toxel into Toxtricity in Pokemon GO

Evolving Toxel requires 400 Toxel Candy, a significant investment compared to most Pokemon. In the main series Pokemon games, Toxel’s evolution depends on its nature, determining whether it becomes the Amped Form or the Low Key Form of Toxtricity. However, in Pokemon GO, the form you get is entirely random.

Here’s what you need to know:

The Amped Form vs. Low Key Form Toxtricity are purely cosmetic in the game, as they share the same movesets and base stats. Both forms also have the ability to Gigantamax, so there’s no competitive difference.

Tips for collecting Toxel Candy:

• Assign Toxel as your Buddy Pokemon to collect extra candy while walking.
• Take advantage of Rare Candy to boost your Toxel Candy count faster.

Toxel is not available in the wild during its debut, making it a rare find. You can acquire Toxel from these sources during the "Into the Wild" event:

• Hatching 10 km Eggs: Collect 10 km eggs during the event (November 18 - 22) for a chance to hatch Toxel.
• Participating in Gigantamax Toxtricity Max Battles: Complete Max Battles during the "Wild Area" event (November 23 - 24) for a chance to earn Toxel as a reward.

Although there is a paid research option during the event, it does not guarantee a Toxel encounter. However, purchasing the egg-hatching pass can increase your likelihood of hatching a Toxel within the event period.

Additionally, Toxel made its debut in the game with its shiny form available. However, shiny Toxel is incredibly rare, requiring significant luck to hatch or encounter.

Final tips

• Focus on Egg hatching: Since Toxel cannot be caught in the wild during its debut, prioritize collecting and incubating 10 km eggs.
• Plan your Max Battles: Schedule time during the "Wild Area" event to participate in Gigantamax Toxtricity battles for a chance at additional rewards.
• Save your resources: With a 400-candy evolution cost, you’ll need to be strategic about using items like Pinap Berries and Rare Candy.

Toxel’s debut offers a fresh challenge for Pokemon GO players. Whether you're aiming for the shiny version or simply hoping to evolve it into Toxtricity, patience and preparation will go a long way.
