How to Obtain Toxel in Pokémon Go

Currently, Toxel and its evolved form, Toxtricity, cannot be caught in the wild, making them a rare find! Here’s how you can snag yourself a Toxel during this limited-time event:

1. **Hatching 10km Eggs**: One of the primary methods to get Toxel is by hatching 10km eggs that are obtainable during the “Into the Wild” event. Remember, the event runs from November 18 to 22, so make sure to gather those eggs!

2. **Gigantamax Toxtricity Max Battles**: Engage in battles against Gigantamax Toxtricity during the “Wild Area” event, which will take place from November 23 to 24. While there's no guaranteed encounter with Toxel, participating in these battles could still be beneficial.

A paid research option is available during the event, but be aware it doesn’t guarantee you’ll encounter Toxel—though it will boost your odds of hatching one from the eggs.

Evolving Toxel into Toxtricity

Once you’ve successfully acquired Toxel, the next step is evolving it into Toxtricity! Be prepared—you’ll need a hefty 400 Toxel Candy for the evolution. Interestingly, in the main series Pokémon games, the form of Toxtricity you receive is determined by Toxel's nature. However, Pokémon Go lacks this feature, meaning which form you get is a matter of chance when you evolve Toxel!

You could end up with either the Amped Form or the Low Key Form. Fortunately, both forms are aesthetically different, but they share the same movesets and base stats, so you won’t miss out on any competitive advantage, regardless of the form you get.

Can You Find a Shiny Toxel?

Absolutely! At its launch, Toxel also made waves with the ability to be shiny. However, finding a shiny variant will require some luck on your part. Keep your eyes peeled and your fingers crossed—who wouldn’t want a glittering Toxel to add to their collection?

Final Thoughts

As Toxel makes its debut in Pokémon Go, trainers everywhere are set on the hunt! With the right strategies and a bit of luck, you can easily add this new Pokémon—and its evolution—into your Pokédex. Get ready to engage in egg-hatching and epic battles, and who knows? Your shiny Toxel might just be around the corner!
