Many youths admire the way this Pokémon listlessly picks fights and keeps its cool no matter what opponent it faces.
As it gulps down stagnant water and generates electricity in its body, a sound like a rhythm played by a bass guitar reverberates all around.
Toxtricity Scarlet & Violet 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 C-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, Volt Switch, and Sludgewave on Toxtricity. Boomburst is the most common pick at 0% 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.
