Strategy Overview
With poor defenses, above-average Attack, and mediocre Speed, some might wonder why Toxicroak should be considered at all on a competitive team. However, Toxicroak's Dry Skin ability allows it to recover some of its HP every turn rain is falling. In addition, Water-type attacks heal Toxicroak up to 25% of its original HP. Add Toxicroak's array of useful priority moves to this mix, and you have yourself one Pokemon that takes great advantage of rain.
