Pokémon Toxicroak

[G-Von]

Now that Aegislash has gotten the boot to Ubers, Croak's STAB's aren't completely immune to anything not named Shedinja!

Now I'm trying to figure out a SD set for this guy but can't think of what to use aside from its STAB attacks. Ice Punch for dragons, Gliscor, and Lando-T?

Sucker punch

Sucker Punch, Gunk Shot, Drain Punch, and Ice Punch/Swords Dance are solid.

Trick is whether or not Sucker Punch/Ice Punch are more important than Swords Dance. Toxicroak really doesn't hit that hard without a boost but Ice Punch and Sucker Punch are really really nice to have.

If you're using it on a dedicated rain team, which is usually ideal, I'd say SD is better than Ice Punch. My reasoning is that on a rain team, almost all team members threaten Gliscor, so the Ice coverage isn't necessary. However, if you're using it as a Keldeo/Rain/Heracross check on a normal team, I'd say the more coverage, the better.

SD - Drain Punch - Gunk Shot/Poison Jab - Sucker Punch is really the only set he should be running right now. I've found Toxicroak to be more useful off rain teams than on them, honestly, and he needs the power from SD + LO to get anything done. Great partners for Toxicroak include Greninja and Starmie, both of which deal with mons that give Toxicroak trouble.
