Toxtricity Guide
In Scarlet & Violet, 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 Scarlet & Violet, 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 Scarlet & Violet, 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 Scarlet & Violet, 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.
