Toxicroak @ Life Orb
Ability: Dry Skin
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Gunk Shot
- Drain Punch / Low Kick
- Sucker Punch
To Toxicroak, Water-type attacks only soothe its Dry Skin! Toxicroak's Water immunity enables it to switch into and set up on bulky Water-types such as Millotic, granting it a unique niche. The sinister combination of Fighting and Poison STAB moves hits many important targets super effectively, such as Togekiss, Umbreon, and Registeel. Drain Punch is generally the preferred option to help alleviate Life Orb Recoil, but Low Kick absolutely wrecks bulky Pokemon such as Steelix and Rhyperior. Sucker Punch lets Toxicroak bypass its mediocre Speed to snipe faster Pokemon that would otherwise knock it out, such as Sigilyph and weakened Flygon. Since Toxicroak struggles heavily against Crobat, teammates that can absorb Flying-type attacks well are greatly appreciated. Steelix and Rhyperior have immense physical bulk and can switch into Crobat easily and proceed to set up Stealth Rock. Knock Off users such as Escavalier and Golisopod are also helpful, as they can remove Crobat's Heavy-Duty Boots, which then allows Stealth Rock to chip it into Sucker Punch range.
