Catching them all can be a little tricky with certain Pokémon, especially when there are multiple variants or tricks to catching a Pokémon to begin with. One such trickster Pokémon is this purple, Poison/Electric creature called Toxel. It evolves into one of two Toxtricity forms, so you'll at least want to evolve two of them to complete your Pokédex. Here's how to catch Toxel and how to get both the Amped Form and the Low Key Form of Toxtricity.
Where to get Toxel

There are two ways to get Toxel. I'll start with the easiest first: Right after you've defeated the Turffield Grass-type gym, if you head to Route 5, you'll eventually see the Pokémon Nursery. Enter and talk to the woman on the right to obtain Toxel.
If you want to catch more than one Toxel, so you can have both forms in your Pokédex, then you'll need to catch him in the old fashioned way. He can be found in a few different areas around the Galar region's Wild Area. I've included a map above showing this Pokémon's habitats.
Toxtricity forms and their differences

Toxel starts evolving once he reaches level 30. Like, its pre-evolution, both forms of Toxtricity are Poison and Electric-type Pokémon. Something I love about them is that they play air guitar when they're thrown into a battle. They're truly the rock stars of Pokémon Sword and Shield.
The form this Pokémon evolves into depends on your Toxel's nature. Aside from coloring, the main difference between the two is that they learn different final attacks at level 52 and they have the potential to know different Hidden Abilities.
- The Amped Form learns Shift Gear, a Steel-type attack that raises Toxtricity's attack and speed.
- The Low Key Form learns Magnetic Flux, an Electric-type attack that raises the defense and special defense of one of the Pokémon in your party. However, for this to work, that Pokémon must have the Plus or Minus Ability.
- The Hidden Ability for Amped Form is Plus, whereas the Hidden Ability for Low Key Form is Minus.
Another thing to note, is that Toxtricity can Gigantamax. In order to get a Gigantamaxing Pokémon, you'll need to find him in a Pokémon Raid Den in the Wild Area.

Gigantamax Toxtricity kinda looks like what a Sableye would evolve into if it actually evolved. This huge Toxtricity pulls out an electric guitar and has various colored "protrusions" on his chest. At present, it looks like the The Amped Form and the Low Key Form both look like this when Gigantamaxing.

I both love and hate it when there's a trick to getting every Pokémon in the Pokédex. The completionist in me is excited to catch them all, but the lazy gamer just wants everything to be easily catchable. Luckily, Toxel isn't that hard of a Pokémon to obtain or evolve. On top of that, I think he and his final evolutions look pretty cool.
Party like a rock star
Now that you know how to get both rock star Pokémon, you can add both to your party. If evolving both of them is too much of a hassle, at least you now know which natures evolve into which form, and you can focus on getting the final evolution you like best. Good luck with your Pokémon adventure!
