Toxicroak @ Life Orb
Trait: Dry Skin
EVs: 28 HP / 252 Atk / 232 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Drain Punch
- Sucker Punch
- Ice Punch

Toxicroak is an incredibly dangerous and underrated sweeper in BW2 OU. After one boost it can easily break through defensive teams, due to it's sky-high attack (when boosted), Fighting / Ice coverage, immunity to Toxic, immunity to Scald burns and water moves in general, ability to heal off all Life Orb damage and an extra 2.5% each turn (while under rain), ability to heal itself with it's powerful STAB etc. It can easily sweep offensive teams too, what it lacks in speed is made up for with it's powerful priority move: Sucker Punch. Overall, while Toxicroak may not have the best bulk or the best speed in the world, what it does have is great coverage, great priority, good typing that can help combat opposing rain teams, amazing ability, and a form of recovery in Drain Punch.
