[SET COMMENTS]
Toxtricity is a strong wallbreaker thanks to its solid Special Attack combined with Choice Specs and its access to Overdrive and Boomburst, which get boosted by its Punk Rock ability. Sludge Wave is primarily used against Fairy- and Grass-type Pokemon, as otherwise, Boomburst is its most powerful attack. Volt Switch allows Toxtricity to pivot and give its teammates safe switches in or put its foe in range of its attack the next time it switches in. Toxtricity's part-Electric typing makes it very valuable against Water- and Flying-type teams and allows it to break Corviknight, which is otherwise a threat to Poison. Its Speed and bulk are mediocre, hence it prefers switching in on passive Pokemon that can't do too much damage or being brought in on a predicted switch.

Galarian Weezing covers Toxtricity's big weakness to Ground-type attacks and can remove entry hazards that hinder Toxtricity's longevity with Defog. Drapion is immune to Psychic-type attacks that threaten Toxtricity and can set up Toxic Spikes to weaken the opponent's team to support Toxtricity's wallbreaking. Drapion also has access to STAB Knock Off, which provides useful utility in removing the foe's item. Gengar is a great revenge killer that can handle faster threats such as Hydreigon and Galarian Darmanitan. Salazzle helps break Steel-type Pokemon, notably Ferrothorn, which are problematic for Poison teams to deal with. It can also annoy many teams with its Corrosion-boosted Toxic combined with Substitute and Protect, and it pivots into Toxapex. Defensive Vileplume is a great partner for checking Mold Breaker Excadrill thanks to its typing, which lets it take neutral hits from Ground, and access to Strength Sap and Sleep Powder, which allow it to consistently check it. Toxapex acts as a great pivot to strong attacks that threaten Toxtricity such as Charizard's Fire Blast and Weavile's Icicle Crash.

I don't think you need to talk about the fact that Toxitricity resists Electric when talking about Toxapex. Not like its bulk is anywhere near amazing so it's not like its that useful as an Electric resist anyways

Vileplume's Sleep Powder should be talked about. You can merge the Strength Sap line into the first sentence and talk about it as something that helps Vileplume consistently check it.

would move salazzle higher up in team sections because it can break steel types, the main thing toxitricity has trouble breaking.
