With a high Defense stat and solid utility movepool, Toxapex serves as a physical wall that checks threats such as Cinderace, Chien-Pao, and Quaquaval. With Prankster, Toxic allows Toxapex to stall out foes such as Dragon Dance Dragonite, using Haze to prevent them from setting up and Recover to stay healthy. Prankster + Haze is also an effective last resort against sweepers such as Shell Smash Polteageist and Belly Drum Hariyama, who can take over the game quickly. Alternatively, Toxic Spikes forces progress against the opponent. With Corrosion, Toxapex is able to use Toxic with impunity to guarantee poison damage, except Magic Guard users. Corrosion + Toxic is particularly effective against Corviknight, which commonly switches into Toxapex expecting to be immune to poison. However, pairing Toxic with Prankster means that Toxapex will be unable to poison Dark-type Pokemon such as Ting-Lu and Roaring-Moon. Tablets of Ruin is also a viable option to allow Toxapex to stay in more comfortably against physical threats such as Meowscarada. Surf provides a decent STAB option to hit physical walls such as Corviknight, but Chilling Water can also be used in lieu of Liquidation to guarantee a lowered Attack stat. Prankster Toxapex is walled by Orthworm and Corviknight, which can switch in and safely use Shed Tail and Defog respectively. Special attackers such as Gengar and Iron Moth can threaten Toxapex and are also immune to poison damage. Toxapex appreciates teammates such as Good as Gold Blissey, which can check special attackers and block Corviknight's Defog.
