Strategy Overview

Toxapex is a unique and highly diverse wall that can utilize its regular ability Regenerator to serve as a far more efficient pivot, scout attacks, and remain healthy without using Recover constantly. This Pokemon can support teams as both a physical and special tank through the use of Latiasite and Gyaradosite, and it is a good fit for a wide variety of builds due to its ability to check a wide range of threats with each of its Mega Stones and spread status with Scald, Toxic, and Toxic Spikes. Latiasite variants check Pokemon such as Primal Groudon, Entei, Arceus-Ground, and Golisopod with their fantastic bulk, great defensive typing, and Levitate ability. Gyaradosite allows Toxapex to stop a new scope of threats that would give Latiasite sets problems such as Lunala and Giratina-O with its new Poison / Dark typing and harass bulky Magic Bounce users like Sablenite Mandibuzz and Blissey with its Mold Breaker Toxic and Toxic Spikes. However, poor offensive stats make Toxapex passive and susceptible to being set up on by powerful cleaners such as Zygarde, Kartana, Terrakion, and Darkrai.
