Weakness Policy
Toxtricity @ Weakness PolicyAbility: Punk RockEVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 SpeTimid NatureIVs: 0 Atk- Endure- Shift Gear- Boomburst / Stored Power / Sludge Wave- Overdrive
Endure is to take the super effective hit and activate Weakness Policy. Shift Gear is for when you need to speed up and to boost Stored Power. Third moveslot can be Boomburst for raw Punk Rock boosted damage, Stored Power for niche coverage and when a Weakness Policy/Shift Gear is set up it will have a base power of 160, and Sludge Wave is STAB. Overdrive is a standard STAB boosted by Punk Rock.
thing is, Toxtricity only has 2 weaknesses and 8 resistances. :P

Toxtricity @ Throat SprayAbility: Punk RockEVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 SpeTimid Nature- Overdrive- Boomburst- Toxic- Hex
The problem with this Pokemon is that the majority of the good natures for this Pokemon will give you the low key form. That doesn’t matter here as this moveset won’t utilize either final level-up move. Although I will say the low key move is definitely more niche. If you want amped-up form or to utilize the final level-up move I recommend using a nature that negates itself, such as Hardy. Not the best option but cut your losses somewhere. Anywho moveset time:
1: OverDrive - Nice Stab2: BoomBurst - Crazy powerful plus more with the ability.3+4: Toxic + Hex! - I haven’t played with this enough but I wanted to get this idea out there so people could try it. Starting with Toxic is always a good idea. Using Hex does double the damage to any Pokemon affected by a status condition.
Kinda different and this won’t give you a poison stab move but who knows. I’m open to all suggestions and comments. I’ve stated this on other posts, but I’m the guys that goes against the grain and tinkers with movesets just to find something new and different.
Toxtricity @ Throat SprayAbility: Punk RockEVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 SpeTimid Nature- Overdrive- Shift Gear- Boomburst- Sludge Bomb
Stored Power Sweeper:
Toxtricity @ Throat SprayAbility: Punk RockEVs: 128 HP / 252 SpA / 128 SpeTimid Nature- Overdrive- Shift Gear- Stored Power- Boomburst / Sludge Wave / Sludge Bomb / Acid Spray
Using a combination of theThroat Sprayitem and Shift Gear, it is possible to get Stored Power to deal quite a lot of damage. Firstly,Overdriveis a solid sound move, that deals STAB damage and activates its Throat Spray. Going to the bottom,Boomburstfills a similar role, while the latter three options are used to deal STAB damage, and to have a good option against Soundproof.Shift Gearcan be used to set up, and boost the power of stored power. Unfortunately, it increases Attack instead of Special Attack, but it still is helpful for the boost. If Shift Gear is used, the power ofStored Powerincreases to 80 automatically. If you use two Shift Gears and attack with a sound move once, the power is boosted up to 160! However, Toxtricity needs to be survive to pull this off, so I gave him 128 EVs in HP to help it.
Overall, this set can be used against a wide variety of Pokémon, but may struggle against ground types and Ferrothorn.
Thanks!
Darn it nebbyY, already did a physical toxricity set. We’ll here’s another one.
Toxtricity @ Life OrbAbility: TechnicianEVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 SpeAdamant Nature- Shift Gear- Gunk Shot / Poison jab- Drain Punch- Wild charge
This is going to be a special sweeper.Toxtricity-Low-Key (M) @ Throat Spray / Any BerryAbility: Punk RockEVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SpAMild Nature- Overdrive- Hex- Gunk Shot / Belch- BoomburstOverdrive is special and Punk Rock and Throat Spray makes the move stronger and it is STAB. Hex is for status. Belch is for a berry and it is STAB. Gunk Shot has 30% chance for poisoning the target and it is STAB. Boomburst gets powered up with the Punk Rock and Throat Spray.
Toxtricity @ Throat SprayAbility: Punk RockEVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 SpeModest Nature- Overdrive- Sludge Wave- Boomburst- Noble Roar
Noble roar reduces opponent’s attack and boosts yours because of throat spray. Overdrive and Boomburst both are boosted by punk rock and it boosts your attack. Sludge Wave if your opponent tries to use throat chop or soundproof.
Support-Fighter Mix Toxtricity!(Either forms work, but I prefer Low-Key since the colors are cooler imo :P)
Toxtricity (M) @ Throat Spray / Black SludgeAbility: Punk RockEVs: 224 HP / 114 SpA / 184 SpeTimid Nature- Boomburst- Discharge/Overdrive- Toxic- Thunder Wave / Sludge Wave / Drain Punch
Now here, this boy here mixes both as a decent fighter and as a supporter. Throat Spray raises your Sp. Atk after using Boomburst, while Black Sludge heals little by little. What’s more, Black Sludge will also poison your foes if they use the Trick/Switcheroo strategy. Boomburst deals a crapload of damage, plus boosted by Punk Rock + Throat Spray if you choose the said item. Discharge/Overdrive is STAB. Both are equally good, though Discharge has a higher chance of Paralyzing (30%). Toxic is of course, to Poison your foes. Thunder Wave is to Paralyze if Discharge doesn’t, and Sludge Wave is coverage against Fairy. Drain Punch is also an option, both to inflict damage and heal a bit.
Gen 9 RU Choice SpecsToxtricity @ Choice SpecsAbility: Punk RockTera Type: NormalEVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 SpeModest / Timid NatureIVs: 0 Atk- Boomburst- Overdrive- Sludge Bomb / Snarl- Volt Switch
I’m really surprised no one posted a Choice Specs Toxtricity set yet. This is a standard Choice Specs set with the Terastal mechanic for Gen 9. Overdrive is for a powerful Electric STAB that gets boosted by Punk Rock. Sludge Bomb is used for the Poison STAB since Toxtricity doesn’t have Sludge Wave in Gen 9. Snarl can be to deal super effective damage to Palossand. Volt Switch is used to let Toxtricity switch out while dealing damage to opposing Pokemon. Tera Normal is used to make Boomburst a powerful STAB move that gets a x2 boost from STAB due to Tera, x1.5 from Choice Specs, and a x1.3 boost from Punk Rock. In other words, Tera Normal Boomburst becomes an incredibly powerful move that goes boom. Modest Nature is used to make Toxtricity hit even harder, while Timid Nature is used for more speed.
Gen 9 RU Shift GearToxtricity @ Throat SprayAbility: Punk RockTera Type: NormalEVs: 4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe or 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 SpeRash / Naive / Modest / Timid Nature- Shift Gear- Boomburst- Overdrive- Drain Punch / Snarl
I know there are already similar sets on here, but I wanted to post one that utilizes the Terastal mechanic for Gen 9. Shift Gear is used to boost Toxtricity’s speed. The rest of your moves barring Drain Punch are sound moves, which activate Throat Spray and are boosted by Punk Rock. Boomburst is a ridiculously powerful STAB move when you use Normal Tera. Overdrive is used for Electric STAB when you don’t use your Tera on Toxtricity. Drain Punch lets you recover some HP and is useful against Chansey and Blissey. Snarl can be used instead to be able to do any damage to Palossand. The nature you use depends on what move you use in the 4th slot and wheter you want more power or more speed. Rash / Naive Nature is used if you use Drain Punch. Modest / Timid Nature is used if you use Snarl. Rash / Modest Nature is used for more power, while Naive / Timid Nature is used for more speed. The first EV spread is for if you use Drain Punch, while the second EV spread is for if you use Snarl.
