How to use Toxicroak in the current VGC format

Toxicroak is listed as a Poison/Fighting 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 Toxicroak fits in a VGC team.

The most common build highlights Dry Skin, Focus Sash and Jolly 2/32/0/0/0/32. Its frequent moves include Fake Out, Feint, Poison Jab, Close Combat, Ice Punch, and Drain Punch. 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, Toxicroak has important weaknesses to psychic 4x, flying 2x, ground 2x. That matters during teambuilding because a strong composition needs ways to cover those attacks without giving up offensive pressure. Partners such as milotic, tsareena, sableye, archaludon, and aerodactyl-mega appear often because they can add positioning, type coverage, speed control or safer switches into common checks.
