Toxapex is a potent physical wall that is capable of taking on offensive threats such as Koraidon, Chien-Pao, and rain staples including Palafin and Floatzel. Haze shuts down attempts of boosting past Toxapex from the likes of Swords Dance Koraidon, Chien-Pao, and Kingambit. Toxic punishes strong attackers that can threaten Toxapex such as Miraidon, Iron Bundle, and Great Tusk, and it can hinder walls for Toxapex's teammates. Toxic Spikes can instead be used in conjunction with Pokemon that prevent hazard removal, such as Gholdengo and Annihilape, to pester the opposing team long-term. Infestation can trap and deal chip damage, notably to Pokemon like Corviknight, Iron Treads, and opposing Toxapex, which are immune to Toxic. Alternatively, Baneful Bunker lets Toxapex scout foes like Miraidon, Koraidon, Chien-Pao, and Choice Specs Iron Bundle while possibly poisoning them, at the risk of letting them set up on it. Rocky Helmet somewhat offsets Toxapex's passive nature by dealing chip damage and wearing down Pokemon like Koraidon and Chien-Pao, potentially putting them into KO range from a partner and dissuading them from freely using U-turn and Crunch, respectively. Tera Fairy makes Toxapex immune or resistant to attacks like Choice Band Koraidon's Outrage and Choice Band Chien-Pao's Crunch while also making Toxapex neutral to super effective hits from Iron Bundle, Great Tusk, Dugtrio, and Gothitelle. Toxapex is useful on many team styles thanks to its great bulk and Regenerator. Pokemon that are susceptible to being revenge killed by Choice Scarf Koraidon and Ice Shard Chien-Pao, like Miraidon, opposing Koraidon, and Iron Bundle, appreciate Toxapex facing these threats for them. Another notable mention is Gothitelle, which benefits from Infestation's trapping ability, allowing it to switch in and trap defensive Pokemon without fear of them switching out the same turn. Toxapex benefits from being paired with Pokemon such as Ting-Lu, Clodsire, Iron Treads, and Corviknight, which are able to check Miraidon, Iron Bundle, and Great Tusk for it.
