Meet Toedscool and Toedscruel – The New Land-Based Tentacool Cousins
This event introduces Toedscool and its evolution Toedscruel, the quirky land-based relatives of the classic Tentacool and Tentacruel. They add a fun twist to your Pokémon collection and exploration.
Shiny Wiglett and Wugtrio Join the Fun
Also making their shiny debut are Wiglett and Wugtrio, another set of unusual cousins from the Kanto family. Don’t miss your chance to catch these sparkly variants while they’re around.
