Strategy Overview
Toxapex is a solid defensive pivot for balance and stall teams thanks to its typing, great defenses, and Regenerator, which allow it to blanket check common threats such as Dracovish, Marshadow, and Ho-Oh. It has access to a great utility moves, including Toxic Spikes, Haze, Recover, Knock Off, and Scald. However, Toxapex is very passive, letting many common threats such as Calyrex-S, Zekrom, and Groudon switch in for free when it uses Recover or Haze. It also faces rough competition as a status spreader with Eternatus, which actually has an offensive presence.
