Strategy Overview
Poison
An amazing typing, above average defensive stats, Regenerator, and a plethora of utility moves such as Recover, Haze, and Toxic all make Toxapex one of the best defensive Pokemon Monotype has to offer and allow it to fit on almost every Poison team. Thanks to its part-Water typing, it is able to better deal with Fire-, Rock-, and Ground-types, while Haze allows it to deal with setup users like Dragapult. However, Toxapex's offensive stats are feeble and it's extremely susceptible to stallbreakers such as Mew and Zarude.
