Thanks to its typing and its incredible bulk, Toxapex is able to check many physical attackers in Monotype such as Meowscarada and Quaquaval. Its Safety Goggles allows it to avoid Spore and check Breloom, which otherwise would overwhelm Water-type teams. Its Poison STAB hits Grass- and Fairy-types such as Breloom and Iron Valiant, but it can also spread poison to chip down switch-ins such as Great Tusk and Garchomp, while Poison Jab can hit Hatterene and Flutter Mane. Recover allows Toxapex to remain healthy while Haze prevents foes such as Volcarona and Quaquaval from boosting themselves. Toxic can be used to stall out foes such as the aforementioned Volcarona and Quaquaval, and it can punish switch-ins that can try to use Toxapex as setup fodder such as Dragapult. Toxic Spikes can punish teams without entry hazard removal such as Dark and Fairy. Black Sludge can be used for passive recovery, and Rocky Helmet can be preferred to wear down physical attackers such as Chien-Pao. Eject Button can be an option on rain teams to get free pivoting on wallbreakers such as Floatzel and Barraskewda.

Quaquaval is a great teammate that can remove hazards to keep Toxapex healthy, while Dondozo and Quagsire can help Toxapex deal with setup sweepers such as Chien-Pao and Dragapult. Quagsire and Gastrodon provide a useful Electric immunity and can stack hazards up along with Toxapex. Rotom-W can check Ground Pokemon for Toxapex and in exchange, Toxapex can switch on Grass-type Pokemon such as Breloom and Meowscarada. Slowking can fulfill a pivoting core in Water teams and check Psychic-types such as Indeedee and Armarouge. The lack of moves to hit Steel-types such as Kingambit and Iron Treads can be very huge, so teammates that do well against them such as Quaquaval and Greninja are great partners.

Thanks to its typing and its incredible bulk, Toxapex is able to check many physical attackers in Monotype (which ones? Add Meowscarada as one mention, but add a few more). Its Poison type combined with Safety Goggles allows it to avoid Spore (it doesnt avoid spore due to Poison-typing + Safety Goggles [it currently reads like that]. Perhaps rewording this sentence would be better?) and check Breloom, which otherwise would overwhelm Water-type teams. Sludge Bomb hits Grass- and Fairy-types such as Breloom and Iron Valiant Scream Tail, but it can also spread poison to chip down switch-ins such as Great Tusk and Garchomp, while Poison Jab can do the same job but can hit Hatterene and risks being chipped down by Rocky Helmet. (I think you can condense this to one sentence: Poison move used to deal with grass/fairies and threaten a poison on switch-ins like Garchompy and something, bomb hits valiant and loom harder, pjab lets it possibly 1v1 hattt) Recover allows Toxapex to remain healthy while Haze prevents foes such as Volcarona and Breloom (I dont think Pex should haze vs loom as much as it should just hit it with Sludge Bomb. Perhaps a different example would be better?) from boosting themselves. Toxic can be used to stall out foes such as the aforementioned Volcarona and Dragapult (Substitute, get a diff example, + it lets it punish switchins too >:D), while Toxic Spikes can punish teams without a entry hazard removal such as Dark and Fairy. (Add a small sentence about miscellaneous items pex can run like sludge, eject button (for rain), and helmet)

Quaquaval is a great teammate that can remove hazards to keep Toxapex healthy, while Dondozo and Quagsire can help Toxapex deal with setup sweepers such as Chien-Pao and Dragapult. Quagsire and Gastrodon provide a useful Electric immunity and can stack hazards up along with Toxapex. Rotom-W can check Ground Pokemon for Toxapex and in exchange, Toxapex can switch on Grass-type Pokemon such as Breloom and Meowscarada.

- toxapex never really 1v1s hatterene, especially since psychic 2hkoes it, fix the wording there
- i havent seen golduck used in tours, maybe replace that example with barraskewda
- unless quaquaval has ice spinner it has a hard time checking pult unless its scarf
- talk about how unaware quag/dozo can help take haze pressure of pex
- add greninja and walking wake as teammates

QC 2/2

Its Safety Goggles allows it to avoid Spore and check Breloom, which otherwise would overwhelm Water-type teams. Its Poison-type STAB moves hit hits Grass- and Fairy-types such as Breloom and Iron Valiant for super effective damage (RC) but it can while also spreading poison to chip down switch-ins such as Great Tusk and Garchomp., while Poison Jab can hit Hatterene and Flutter Mane harder than Sludge Bomb. Recover allows Toxapex to remain healthy, while Haze prevents foes such as Volcarona and Quaquaval from setting up boosting themselves. Toxic can be used to stall out foes such as the aforementioned Volcarona and Quaquaval, and it can punish switch-ins that can try to use Toxapex as setup fodder such as Dragapult. Toxic Spikes can punish teams without entry hazard removal such as Dark and Fairy. Black Sludge can be used for passive recovery, and Rocky Helmet can be used preferred to wear down physical attackers such as Chien-Pao. Eject Button can be an option on rain teams to get free pivoting to on wallbreakers such as Floatzel and Barraskewda.

Quaquaval is a great teammate that can remove hazards to keep Toxapex healthy, while Dondozo and Quagsire can help Toxapex deal with setup sweepers such as Chien-Pao and Dragapult. (this could be 2 sentences because there's no real link betwen the 2 clauses) Quagsire and Gastrodon provide a useful Electric immunity and can stack entry hazards up along with Toxapex. Rotom-W can check Ground-types Pokemon for Toxapex. and i In exchange, Toxapex can switch on Grass-type Pokemon such as Breloom and Meowscarada. Slowking can fulfill fulfil a pivoting core in on Water teams and check Psychic-types such as Indeedee and Armarouge. The lack of moves to Toxapex's inability to hit Steel-types such as Kingambit and Iron Treads can be very huge, so teammates that do well against them such as Quaquaval and Greninja are great partners.


- "STAB" doesn't make sense on its own, it needs to be STAB attack / STAB move. Saying "Toxapex's Poison Same Type Attack Bonus hits Grass-types" doesn't make sense, so you want to clarify it's the attacks/moves.
- Super effective is never hyphenated
- Commas before "while" should only be used where it means "whereas" and not "at the same time as." As suck "while also" won't ever need a comma before it because "whereas also" doesn't make sense.
- "Ground Pokemon" isn't an approved term; it should be Ground-types or Ground-type Pokemon (less preferred)
- On teams, not in them
