Toedscruel (Japanese:リククラゲRikukurage) is a dual-typeGround/GrassPokémon introduced inGeneration IX.

Itevolves fromToedscool starting atlevel 30.

It bears aclose resemblance toTentacruel; however, the two are separate species.

Biology

Toedscruel is a large mushroom-like Pokémon whose physical appearance heavily resemblesTentacruel, although the two species are biologically unrelated.^[1] Its upper body resembles a mushroom cap and is black in color, with three circular pink protrusions on top; one of these protrusions is much smaller than the others and sits in the front and center of the cap. The rim on Toedscruel's cap is beige in color and has multiple folds, and serves as a popular food item. Below Toedscruel's cap is its beige-colored lower body, which contains two slanted eyes, a black tube-like mouth with yellow lips, and ten tentacles resemblingmycelium. The tentacles are beige on top and yellow at the bottom.

Toedscruel eats by wrapping prey with its tentacles and sucking out their nutrients, which causes the prey pain. Toedscruel form colonies deep within forests, and they do not appreciate incoming strangers. Rather than running, it jumps forward on its springy tentacles.

Toedscruel and its pre-Evolution,Toedscool, are theonly known Pokémon that can haveMycelium Might as anAbility.

Trivia

• Toedscruel is tied withClaydol for the highest baseSpecial Defense stat of allGround-type Pokémon.
• Toedscruel is the onlyGround-type Pokémonwith tentacles.
• Toedscruel,Tentacruel, and their respectivepre-Evolutions have exactly the same base stats in the same distribution. They also have the same levels for Evolution.
• Toedscruel'sGround-type is strong against Tentacruel'sPoison-type, but weak to itsWater-type. Similarly, Toedscruel'sGrass-type is strong against Tentacruel's Water-type, but weak to its Poison-type.
• In the game code of Scarlet and Violet,Toedscool and Toedscruel are referred to as "OKAKINGU" and "OKAGYARADOSU" respectively, suggesting they replaced a scrapped idea of an evolutionary line based on theMagikarp line.
• Toedscool, Toedscruel, andBrute Bonnet continue the trend of odd-numbered generations introducing Pokémon that appear to be based on fungi, with theParas,Shroomish,Foongus, andMorelull lines before them.

Origin

Toedscruel appears to be based onmushrooms — specifically awood ear mushroom, known as木耳 / キクラゲkikurage (literally "tree jellyfish") in Japan, hence its similarities to the jellyfish-basedTentacruel. The fact that it physically resembles Tentacruel may also be a reference toconvergent evolution orparallel evolution, which can lead to separate organisms independently developing similar or identical characteristics and body plans.

Toedscruel's pink protrusions may derive from theguttation droplets of certain fungi, such as theHydnellum peckii which produces red droplets similar in appearance toTentacool and Tentacruel's red orbs.

Name origin

Toedscruel may be a combination oftoadstool (another name for mushroom),toed (having toes), andTentacruel.

Rikukurage may be a combination of 陸riku (land), 木耳kikurage (jelly ear), and ドククラゲDokukurage (Tentacruel).
