Can someone explain why Toxapex would logically learn Haze?

Toxapex gets the award of weirdest Pokemon to learn a given move. It gets Haze. Why?

Whywoulda brittle star get Haze?Isthere a connection to marine life on Earth? This seems like something that might be answerable because Toxapex is somewhat naturally inspired compared to other odd situations like Volcarona learning Magnet Rise.

A question like this is more theoretical, so there is no 100% answer for it. But, from my perspective, you can think of it in two ways.

From the Pokemon side of it, Toxapex can already learn other ice moves such as Ice Beam and Frost Breath, as well as a weather affecting ice-move, Hail. So, the ice-typing of the move is not peculiar. The move Haze itself just resets its stat changes, and a lot of Pokemon can learn similar moves such as Psych Up and Clear Smog.

For its biology perspective, being the Crown-of-Thorns Starfish,“When the starfish is removed from the water, the body surface ruptures and the body fluid leaks out, so the body collapses and flattens. The spines bend over and flatten, as well. They recover their shape when re-immersed, if they are still alive”. So, the move Haze is actual quite appropriate because one, you can only use the move when still alive, and two, it’s sort of a way for the Pokemon to “reshape” itself.

Hope I helped! :)

Toxapex can learn scald which heats up water, also Toxapex can create a bunker barrier around itself with its protruding arms, I guess it could create steam whilst in this form and using scald. Hope this answers your question buddy.
