How to use Toxapex in the current VGC format

Toxapex is listed as a Poison/Water type in the current Pokémon Champions format, with usage data pulled from competitive teams, tournament results and Showdown-ready pastes tracked by MetaVGC. This page brings together its most common moveset, nature, ability, item, teammates and type weaknesses so you can judge where Toxapex fits in a VGC team.

The most common build highlights Regenerator, Sitrus Berry and Bold 32/0/32/0/2/0. Its frequent moves include Baneful Bunker, Toxic, Wide Guard, Infestation, Recover, and Hex. Treat those choices as a data-backed starting point: they show what players are bringing, while EV spreads, Tera Type and the final move slot should still respond to your expected matchups.

Defensively, Toxapex has important weaknesses to electric 2x, ground 2x, psychic 2x. That matters during teambuilding because a strong composition needs ways to cover those attacks without giving up offensive pressure. Partners such as venusaur-mega, rotom-wash, sinistcha, glimmora, and incineroar appear often because they can add positioning, type coverage, speed control or safer switches into common checks.
