The Tokoloshe's nails are sharp, but they're so brittle they can break upon contact. This will happen the moment they come in contact with the Kappa's carapace. Limited protection is one thing but this carapace is as bloody hard as Leonardo's shell itself. Turtle shell is durable and can withstand a good amount of punishment. Add with the Kappa's endurance while supplied with water and the Tokoloshe basically has no way of screwing the turtle monster away even with improvised weapons.

Invisibility can give Toko a headstart, but direct battle is the inevitable outcome here. If a Kappa somehow loses his own water brain and needs to get to nearby water source, it'll do it. If a Tokoloshe wants to regain his now-useless invisibility, it can go to drink water. Problem is, a clever Kappa can multi-task in this scenario by both refilling his cap and waiting to ambush the unassuming Tokoloshe.

You can say that the Tokoloshe's magic sense will nullify the Kappa's ambush, but sooner or later it has to come down the water to finish it. Try to throw a knife at it? Kappa can swim as fast as hell and jump out to kill the physically inferior gremlin. In addition, the Kappa's greater intellect and coordination in the pack will allow them to basically beat the shite out of those 'loshes using strategies and tricks. This, is why I go for the Kappa.
