So you've never watched this brilliant anime series called Naruto? Let's fix that
If you've never screamed 'BELIEVE IT!' in a questionable British accent or tried doing hand signs to summon a shadow clone in your bedroom mirror, are you even living right? And if you don't know what Naruto is, then buckle up, you and I are going on a ride to a place that will make you look cool in front of your anime-obsessed warning (because we respect emotional damage): Mild spoilers ahead, nothing that'll ruin your soul, just enough to prepare let's get started. Naruto is a Japanese anime (and manga) series that ran from the early 2000s and has refused to leave the cultural stage ever since. It follows Naruto Uzumaki, a chaotic, orange-wearing ninja kid who's shunned by his village because he's got a massive demon fox sealed inside him. Yes, a demon fox, inside a child. That's anime for you. He dreams of becoming Hokage (the ninja world's version of Prime Minister crossed with national hero), so people finally respect him. What follows are 700+ episodes of underdog grit, explosive fights, deep trauma, painfully relatable friendships, and more emotional speeches than a graduation ceremony explaining daddy something eternally magnetic about watching a scrappy, loud, borderline annoying child who no one believes in, slowly (and very dramatically), becoming that guy. Naruto starts off with zero talent, a ton of heart, and a tragic past that would've sent most of us straight into instead of giving up, he trains, fails, trains harder, headbutts destiny, and then hugs his enemies into redemption. And even after saving the world multiple times (literally), he still ends up being the same doofus who slurps ramen and messes up paperwork. Icon!Naruto's greatest power isn't the Rasengan (spiralling sphere), it's the writers' ability to make every character feel like the main one. You've got Rock Lee, who fights with just fists and the power of youth; Kakashi, the hot, emotionally unavailable mentor; and Itachi, who may or may not be the reason you're still crying at 3 the villains have layered, tragic backstories that make you go, 'Am I siding with a mass murderer now?' Yes. Yes, you are. That's the Naruto effect. Nobody is judging the filler episodes. Annoying? Yes. But weirdly charming? Also, yes. At one point, Naruto was just 15 per cent plot and 85 per cent chaos. Entire arcs are about chasing a lost bug or helping a struggling ramen chef, and yet we watched. Because even in the absurdity, it felt like home. A place where nothing made sense, but everything felt a reason Naruto is still everywhere, in memes, tattoos, motivational speeches, and that one friend who still does the Naruto run at airports. It's not just a show, it's a shared fever dream of ambition, loss, friendship, eyeliner, and questionable you're an anime veteran or someone who still confuses Naruto with Pokemon, this is the one cult classic you owe it to yourself to experience. And trust me, once you start, you won't for those who still watch the reruns of the show as if their life depends on it, if someone asks whether you still watch Naruto, look them dead in the eye and whisper: 'I never stopped.'- Ends

How to Get Shiny Toedscool and Shiny Toedscruel in Pokemon GO: Shiny Status, Evolution Guide, Shiny Odds, Availability, and Biome Tips
Shiny Toedscool and Shiny Toedscruel in Pokemon GO (Image via The Pokemon Company) Toedscool has officially made its Pokemon GO debut during Adventure Week 2025 (July 29 to August 3), adding a fresh face to the wild spawns. While its shiny version isn't available just yet, trainers have a limited-time opportunity to load up on candy and prepare for future releases. Here's everything you need to know about catching Toedscool in Pokemon GO, evolving it into Toedscruel, and why shiny hunters should care. Where to Find Toedscool in Pokemon GO You can find Toedscool in Pokemon GO in the wild only during Adventure Week 2025 and appears exclusively in Forest and Grassland biomes. This is its first appearance in the game, making it a must-catch for collectors and Pokédex completionists. To evolve Toedscool into Toedscruel, you'll need 50 Toedscool Candy. Important note: this evolution line is separate from Tentacool and Tentacruel, so their candies are not interchangeable. Toedscruel cannot be caught in the wild and must be obtained through evolution. Can You Get Shiny Toedscool in Pokemon GO ? Shiny Toedscool (Image via The Pokemon Company) As of Adventure Week 2025, shiny Toedscool and shiny Toedscruel are not available in Pokemon GO. While Toedscool makes its in-game debut, the shiny spotlight is on Wiglett for this event. There's no confirmation on when the shiny versions of Toedscool and Toedscruel will drop, but based on past trends, Niantic often saves shiny releases for future events. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Brain tumor has left my son feeling miserable; please help! Donate For Health Donate Now Undo Why You Should Still Hunt Toedscool in Pokemon GO Now Even without a shiny release, Toedscool is worth farming during Adventure Week. Here's why: • Niantic frequently releases shinies in future versions of the same event, like the next Adventure Week or through special research. • Catching Toedscool in bulk now ensures you have plenty of candy to instantly evolve a shiny one when it finally becomes available. • Its limited-time availability means waiting until next year might be your only option if you miss this window. Tips to Increase Toedscool Encounters • Go Biome Hunting: Stick to Forest and Grassland biomes. Parks, wooded trails, and green rural areas are your best bet. • Use Incense: Incense lasts two hours during the event and can drastically increase your chances, especially while walking. • Complete Event Research: Adventure Week includes Field and Timed Research tasks that may offer bonus encounters or useful rewards. • Plan for Future Trades: Stocking up on extra Toedscool now means you'll have trade fodder if shiny forms drop later. What Shiny Toedscool and Toedscruel Look Like Shiny Toedscruel (Image via The Pokemon Company) In the mainline games: • Shiny Toedscool features a grayish tone in place of its usual beige, with soft silvery accents. • Shiny Toedscruel swaps its golden hues for ghostly grays and whites, giving it a more mysterious, elegant appearance. If these designs make it to Pokemon GO, they'll stand out dramatically in any collection. Shiny Odds of Toedscruel in Pokemon GO and Future Planning Although shiny Toedscool isn't active yet, standard wild shiny odds in Pokemon GO hover around 1 in 400 to 1 in 500. However, when new shinies debut through events, odds are often temporarily boosted. Shiny hunters recommend: • Playing in high-density spawn areas. • Using cluster spawns in biome-rich zones. • Prioritizing quantity during limited-time windows. While shiny Toedscool and Toedscruel aren't available yet, the current Adventure Week offers an ideal opportunity to prep for their inevitable release. Catch as many as possible, stock up on candy, and be ready to evolve the moment their shiny versions go live.
