How to Catch Togedemaru:
As a part of the Test Your Mettle event, Togedemaru will spawn more frequently along with other steel-typed Pokémon, so there will be plenty of opportunities to find it. The generation seven Pokémon will be catchable in the wild, one-star raids, and as a Field Research task encounter.

Strengths and Weaknesses
For its steel and electric typing, Togedemaru is vulnerable to fighting and fire-type moves, rendering it especially weak to ground-type moves. Togedemaru is a good asset to the team as it's immune to poison-type moves and resistant to normal, flying, rock, bug, steel, grass, electric, psychic, ice, dragon, and fairy-type moves. In terms of its moveset, its strongest attacks are Spark and Wild Charge.

Shiny?
Unfortunately, to start, Togedemaru will not appear in its shiny form. However, be sure to catch this Pokémon before the Test Your Mettle event ends on Sept. 21.
