DISCLAIMERS ON FORMATS COVERED:
Notice I said POPULAR formats, meaning a format where there is a significant amount of people who compete in it for tournaments and so on and so forth.
For the record, I do not care what rules or formats people play their battles by nor am I saying these formats are the only formats that should be played. The way you play Pokemon is between you and your opponent. I just like examining popular tournament formats.

Toxicroak is the definition of a "format assassin". Under very special circumstances that just so happen to be OP enough to popularly abused, it dominates in ways that it probably shouldn't. But without those circumstances, it can't really hold its own due to relying too much on the opponent's team rather than its own.

At gen 7 RU, imo, toxicroak main role is "fairy attacker" but can be a "surprise sweeper". You may only slap gunk shot/poison jab, drain punch, swords dance, but you have this one moveslot that can be "substitute" or maybe sucker punch. The problem is this last moveslot is "unpredictable" because it cant be analyze from team preview, and toxicroak isnt a switch in pokemon. So, yeah i guess you will know the following procedures..
@redwings13400
@redwings13400 4 года назад
Pretty much. Its stats are nothing to write home about, its frail, not super fast, and not overwhelmingly strong. What it does have is a typing and ability combination that no other pokemon shares, so when the meta is right, it can do things no other pokemon can. There are better fighting types, there are better poison types, there are better pokemon that can tank water moves, there are better pokemon with good priority moves, but there's only one pokemon that can do all of these things at once. When these are all good traits to have, Toxicroak shines. When some of these traits don't matter as much, or some of its traits become more of a liability than a strength, there's usually a better pokemon for the job you're looking for.

@elevate07
@elevate07 4 года назад
@@asaacisimov8621 There's a lot of basic strategies that the game has that you will never know because the game is obsessed with type matchups and nothing else. Good example is that all of the NPCs in the game are type locked into a monotype or bi-type team with the exception of Ace Trainers, the rival, and the Champion. In a series about choosing a party of 6 team members. Water is the most versatile type in the game, it does everything. But I can invalidate every single water type NPC in the game just by putting a single decent Grass type in front because none of them carry any coverage moves or have team members who can defend themselves. So if you wondered why you keep running into uber noobs online that only know how to pick the super effective move with the big number, it's not that they're stupid it's just that it's all they know. Because it's all the game bothered to teach them.

Something else to note about Toxicroak's pre-evolution - it has the power of swagger and vibes when it walks.

I have a rather fond but weird memory of Toxicroak. When Gen 4 GTS was working I managed to get a Toxicroak from it but it was a German one where its name is Toxiquak. From that point on because the name sounded so funny to high school me I forever know Toxicroak as Toxiqua(c)k and it feels weird hearing it as anything else.

Hey FSG, first and foremost, big fan, I've been around since your Tyranitar vid, and your content has been improving ever since! I just attended my first VGC event at OCE International Championship this weekend, and while I only ended at top 128 at the main event, I used a different team featuring Durant and Shadow Tag Gothitelle to win the Premiere Challenge on Sunday. Considering the Masters Divison runner-up Eduardo also uses a Durant on his team, can you cover Durant on the next episode? It would be interesting to see your take on the Pokemon that delivers one of the highest unboosted damage outputs in gen 8.
