There are plenty of new additions in the latest entry to the Pokémon franchise, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. Two of these monsters, though new, may seem more familiar than others. Toedscool and Toedscruel clearly resemble the previously introduced Tentacool and Tentacruel, but this time they have lost their tentacles and have grown some legs in their place.
While Toedscool, and its evolved form Toedscruel, are not much to call home about as far as competitive viability, you may take a liking to these absurd-looking Pokémon for their uniqueness alone. If you want to maximize the impact these monsters can have in battle, here are the best Natures to hunt down on your journey throughout the Paldea Region.

What is the best nature for Toedscool and Toedscruel?
Even though Toedscool and Toedscruel don’t deal too much damage, with their Attack and Special Attack stats being pretty low, they can still be effective in combat if you pick one up with the right Nature. The first step in finding a good Pokémon is to review the strengths in its stats.
| Stats | Toedscool | Toedscruel |
|---|---|---|
| Attack | 40 | 70 |
| Special Attack | 50 | 80 |
| Defense | 35 | 65 |
| Special Defense | 100 | 120 |
| HP | 40 | 80 |
| Speed | 70 | 100 |
| Total | 335 | 515 |
It would be a good idea to focus on further improving its Special Defense stat since this can lessen some of the oncoming blows from its opposing Pokémon and make your Toedscrool and Toedscruel last longer in battle. The best Natures to fit the bill would be either Calm (increases Special Defense, decreases Attack) and Gentle (increases Special Defense, decreases Defense).
