Verdict

Collector's Pick
Toxapex is a Poison/Water-type Pokemon with base stats of 114/273/137 (Atk/Def/Sta) and a max CP of 1,905. While it doesn't currently rank among the top raid attackers or PvP contenders, every Pokemon has its place in a trainer's collection. Toxapex may shine during specific events, in limited-format cups, or when new moves are added in future updates. For now, hold onto a good IV specimen but save your Stardust and Candy for more impactful investments unless you're a dedicated fan of this Pokemon.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best moveset for Toxapex in Pokemon GO?
Toxapex has multiple viable movesets depending on the battle format. The ideal moveset varies based on whether you are using Toxapex for raids, gym battles, or PvP — check the moves section above for a full breakdown of each move's DPS, energy cost, and coverage.
What are Toxapex's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Toxapex is weak to Electric, Ground, Psychic-type moves. On the other hand, Toxapex resists Bug, Fairy, Fighting, Fire, Ice, Poison, Steel, Water-type attacks, so avoid using those types against it. To counter Toxapex effectively in raids and gyms, build a team using its weakest type matchups and pick attackers that have STAB moves of those types.
What is Toxapex's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Toxapex's maximum CP is 1,905 at level 50 (with XL Candy), or 1,685 at level 40. Reaching level 50 requires XL Candy, which is only available to trainers level 31 and above — earning XL Candy involves catching, hatching, transferring, and walking Pokemon. Toxapex's CP is calculated from its base stats: 114 Attack, 273 Defense, and 137 Stamina. Powering up from level 40 to 50 requires a significant investment of XL Candy and Stardust, so plan your resources carefully. A 100% IV Toxapex caught from raids or eggs (level 20) will have 963 CP, or 1,204 CP with weather boost (level 25).
What CP is a 100% IV Toxapex?
A perfect 15/15/15 IV Toxapex has the following CP at key levels: 722 CP at level 15 (research encounters), 963 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches), 1,204 CP at level 25 (weather-boosted raids), and 1,905 CP at level 50 fully powered up. If you catch a perfect IV Toxapex, it is worth investing Stardust and Candy to power it up, especially if Toxapex ranks well in raids or PvP. A 100% IV (also called a "hundo") is the rarest IV combination, so tag and favorite it to make sure you don't accidentally transfer it.
How to get Toxapex in Pokemon GO?
Toxapex is obtained by evolving its pre-evolution (Mareanie with 50 Candy). Toxapex can also be obtained through trading with other trainers.
Can Toxapex be shiny in Pokemon GO?
Shiny Toxapex's availability depends on whether Niantic has released its shiny form. Not all Pokemon have their shiny forms available yet. Check the current events page and Community Day announcements for any updates on shiny Toxapex availability and boosted shiny rates during special events.
