Toxapex's access to Regenerator, good defensive typing, and formidable bulk lets it excel at keeping physical threats like Zacian and Palafin at bay. Haze prevents foes like Ogerpon-H and Zacian from boosting repeatedly and subsequently breaking past Toxapex. While on the field, Toxic Spikes keep threats like Palkia-O, Kyurem-W, and Palafin from coming in lest they be put on a timer. Alternatively, Toxic is an option to make Toxapex a more threatening presence on the field, although it means Substitute from Pokemon like Palkia-O ruins it. Infestation lets Toxapex trap poisoned foes, forcing them to accumulate passive damage. Alternatively, Sludge Bomb gives Toxapex a means of pressuring Calm Mind + Taunt Arceus formes. If no other check is available, Toxapex can use Tera Dark to absorb a Psystrike or Kowtow Cleave from Mewtwo or Kingambit and neutralize it with Haze or Toxic. In a similar fashion, it can use Tera Grass to stomach a hit from Landorus, Arceus-Electric, or Great Tusk and cripple it with Toxic. Toxapex is a natural fit on bulky balance and is a staple on stall, as its staying power shines best in the long games such teams often face. Being a physical wall, Toxapex can form a strong defensive core with special walls like Solgaleo, Blissey, Arceus-Dark, and Magearna. Pokemon susceptible to passive damage like Landorus-T and Arceus formes appreciate Toxapex absorbing chip damage in their place so that they can be in top shape when they're needed. Toxapex is vulnerable to Pokemon like Great Tusk, Landorus, and Mewtwo; pair it with teammates that can cover these threats, such as Landorus-T, Skarmory, and Solgaleo.

Toxapex's access to Regenerator, Poison / Water good defensive typing, and formidable bulk lets it excel at keeping physical threats like Zacian and Palafin at bay. The former also lets it offset chip damage, making Toxapex an invaluable asset in prolonged games. (Regen offsetting chip is pretty self explanatory.) Haze prevents foes from accumulating boosts through Swords Dance or Calm Mind and subsequently blowing past Toxapex. (Please give examples here that would set up on Pex if it otherwise didnt have Haze.) While on the field, Toxic Spikes keep threats like Palkia-O, Life Orb Mewtwo, and Arceus formes (They run recover alot so they can offset it. Maybe mention stuff like Kyu-W or Deo instead.) from coming in lest they be put on a timer. Alternatively, Toxic Spikes' constant pressure can be forgone in favor of Toxic, which affords Toxapex a greater presence on the field. Alternatively, Toxic is an option to make Toxapex a greater presence on the field and reduce its passivity, although it means Substitute from Pokemon like Palkia-O ruin it. .Infestation lets Toxapex pressure Poison-immune foes like Zamazenta-C as well as trap poisoned foes, forcing them to accumulate passive damage. Alternatively, Sludge Bomb gives Toxapex a means of pressuring Calm Mind + Taunt Arceus formes. In an emergency, Toxapex can burn Tera Dark to block a boosted Psystrike or Stored Power from Mewtwo or Magearna and Haze away their boosts. (Mention how this lets it soft check them. Also Double Dance Magearna is kind of meh so would mention something else instead.) In a similar fashion, it can burn Tera Grass to stomach a hit from Landorus or Arceus-Electric (and Great Tusk) and cripple them with Toxic. Toxapex is a natural fit on bulky balance and is a staple of stall, as its staying power shines best in the long games such teams often fac . Arceus-Dark and Solgaleo appreciate Toxapex's resilience in the face of physical attackers and passive damage, which in turn appreciates their ability to handle special attackers and use phazing moves to bring susceptible foes onto Toxic Spikes. Landorus-T covers Toxapex's Ground weakness and pressures opposing Poison-types; Toxapex covers its susceptibility to passive damage and vulnerability to Water-type attacks. (Mention Blissey / Solg / Mag / other special walls who form a potent defensive core with pex.)

Pretty solid, mostly just a small issue with an example raised. Nice job!

Haze prevents foes like Ogerpon-Hearthflame and Double Dance Magearna Zacian Double Dance Mag really sucks it's not a good examplefrom boosting repeatedly and subsequently breaking past Toxapex.
