PVE Offensive Moves Explanation

  • Counter and Dynamic Punch make Shadow Toxicroak a decent Fighting attacker.
  • Pair Poison Jab with Sludge Bomb for great Poison-type DPS.
  • Mud Shot and Mud Bomb can work if you're absolutely desperate for some Ground Type damage, but it's severely outclassed.
  • Shadow Ball doesn’t have any offensive use for Shadow Toxicroak.

PVE Defensive Moves Explanation

  • Poison Jab and Counter perform very similarly on defense, but Poison Jab has wider type coverage.

  • Same thing goes for Sludge Bomb and Dynamic Punch.

  • Mud Bomb has lower energy cost, but it’s very weak and easier to dodge.
  • Mud Shot is poor on defense.
  • Shadow Ball hits pretty hard and has great counter-coverage, but Shadow Toxicroak is likely to drop to a few Confusions regardless.

PVE Overview

Shadow Toxicroak is one of those Shadow Pokemon. It's one that is based on a "good, but never great" Pokemon, and is easy to overlook as a result. However, this is actually a pretty potent attacker of a Pokemon with some real value behind it. It's frail, but it's got a bit of potential as a second-string Fighting Type, and is also among the best Poison Type attackers currently in the game. That said, it's also not a great investment, as there are better Fighting Types and Poison is an under-powered type. It's not bad by any means, but it's a bronze medal holder at best on most relevant fronts.

PvP Moveset Explanation

Counter + Mud Bomb and Sludge Bomb or Dynamic Punch

Counter, 4.00 DPT (Damage Per Turn) and 3.50 EPT (Energy Per Turn), is the go to fast move for Toxicroak as it provides wide coverage and gains STAB. 

Mud Bomb provides wide coverage and costs the least amount of energy. Sludge Bomb costs a modest amount of energy and provides situational coverage while benefiting from STAB. Dynamic Punch, 90 Damage and 50 Energy cost, is also an option to double down on the Fighting coverage depending on the PvP format.
