Toxapex has been an apex wall ever since its introduction to OU. Outstanding bulk alongside Regenerator makes it incredibly tough to break through, letting it check numerous threats such as both formes of Greninja, Magearna lacking Gigavolt Havoc, and Mega Heracross. With a Payapa Berry, it can take advantage of a metagame filled with Psychic-types to get a last-ditch effort Toxic on the likes of Mega Alakazam and Mega Latios while also tanking a Shattered Psyche from Volcarona and walling it afterward, usually a nuisance to teams Toxapex finds itself into. Toxapex forms a strong Regenerator core with two Pokemon it has plenty of synergy with in Tornadus-T and Tangrowth, making it even tougher for opponents to break through them. Tornadus-T takes care of physical attackers such as Kartana and Mega Medicham, whereas Tangrowth deals with the likes of Tapu Koko and Zygarde. Celesteela is also a great partner that makes up for Toxapex's weaknesses to Psychic and Ground.
