[SET COMMENTS]
- Toxapex is an excellent physically defensive wall capable of taking on foes such as Koraidon and Zacian-C.
- Haze shuts down boosting attempts from the likes of Swords Dance Koraidon, Arceus, and Zacian-C.
- Toxic prevents checks like Miraidon, Groudon, and Arceus-Ground from coming in freely and forcing Toxapex out while also putting setup sweepers on a timer.
- If Toxapex runs Toxic Spikes, teammates such as Arceus-Ground can pressure Toxic Spikes absorbers like Eternatus and Clodsire. Poison Jab spreads poison to foes like Arceus-Fairy and Flutter Mane, and Ice Beam helps Toxapex greatly with Rayquaza while also helping against Landorus-T, Koraidon, and Gliscor.
- Rocky Helmet is preferred to chip down physical attackers and most pivots. Mental Herb is an alternative that helps Toxapex deal with Taunt Arceus formes.
- Tera Fairy makes Toxapex immune to Dragon-type moves, letting it deal with Scale Shot Koraidon, while Tera Ground helps Toxapex against Wild Charge Zacian-C.
- Toxapex makes good partners with other defensive Pokemon like Ting-Lu and Clodsire, which can check threats like Miraidon. In return, Toxapex can help deal with threats like Koraidon and Zacian-C.
- Offensive pivots like Miraidon, Koraidon, and Landorus-T also pair well with Toxapex, as they can bring it in more freely to handle their checks.
- Gliscor can switch into Ground-types such as Ting-Lu, non-Ice Beam Arceus-Ground, and Heavy-Duty Boots Miraidon, spread entry hazards, and check Koraidon and Zacian-C, preventing Toxapex from being worn down.
