How to Get Toxtricity in Legends: Z-A

Toxtricity isn't available in the wild in Legends: Z-A. Start by transferring Toxel from Sword or Scarlet. The evolution path from Toxel to Toxtricity is covered in the steps below.

How to Obtain Toxtricity in Legends: Z-A

  1. Toxel
    Step 1Breed Toxel from Toxtricity

    Catch in the wild in:

    ScarletOverworld · South Province (Area Four)

    Then trade to Legends: Z-A to continue the evolution chain.

Toxtricity Guide

  • In Legends: Z-A, Don't let Toxtricity's 502 base stat total fool you. Technician is what makes it tick. It punches way above its weight class. We rate it B-Tier as an attacker. Boomburst with Throat Spray is the standard set.

  • In Legends: Z-A, watch for Garchomp (Ground) and Gardevoir (Psychic) when using Toxtricity. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Garchomp is the most dangerous since Ground moves deal 4x damage. Only 2 weaknesses means fewer dedicated counters to worry about.

  • In Legends: Z-A, Run Technician on Toxtricity. It's the ability that defines how you build around it and the main reason it holds a competitive niche. Toxtricity also gets Punk Rock and Plus, but they don't compare.

  • In Legends: Z-A, Toxtricity fills the attacker role. It's a special attacker with base 114 Sp. Atk. Base 75 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many. And it's enough bulk to take a hit or two.

  • In Legends: Z-A, run Boomburst, Overdrive, Shiftgear, and Sludgewave on Toxtricity. Boomburst is the most common pick at 24% usage. This set covers the attacker role with a mix of damage and utility.

Game Availability

Toxtricity first appeared in Sword & Shield and spans 3 games across 3 generations. It later gained a Gigantamax form in Generation 8, adding new dimensions to its competitive identity.
