[SET COMMENTS]
This set's purpose is to switch into strong attackers like Galarian Darmanitan, Dragapult, Barraskewda, and Aegislash and force them out by walling them, giving Toxapex opportunities to spread status with Scald and Toxic, set Toxic Spikes, and recover health with Recover. Additionally, Toxapex is able to prevent setup sweepers like non-Earthquake Gyarados and Corviknight from snowballing games thanks to Haze. Toxapex's EVs and nature enable it to switch into threats it's meant to check as best as possible, such as Galarian Darmanitan and Gyarados, and make it harder for Dugtrio to trap it. A specially defensive spread is also viable, letting Toxapex switch into Dragapult more reliably. While Toxic is generally preferred to cripple Pokemon like Mandibuzz, Dragapult, and Rotom-W, Toxapex's great bulk gives it ample opportunities to set Toxic Spikes, which is nice for wearing down entire teams as opposed to a single Pokemon. Baneful Bunker is also an option to make Toxapex a better Dragapult check and let it scout Pokemon like Galarian Darmanitan.

Toxapex has good defensive synergy with Pokemon like Clefable and Ferrothorn that appreciate its ability to switch into Poison- and Fire-type attacks with ease. Pokemon like Aegislash and Tyranitar benefit from Toxapex crippling checks such as Mandibuzz and Seismitoad with status. Toxapex is vulnerable to Ground-types like Excadrill and Mamoswine; pair it with Pokemon like Corviknight that can take attacks from such Pokemon.

be gentle

 

[LORD SAGIS]

I think Baneful Bunker should be mentioned somewhere since it helps against mons like Baraskewda.

 

[lydian]

Rabia not a formal qc check yet but please make it phys def! phys def pex is quite a bit better and more broad this gen compared to sp def.

I feel like you can keep the Dragapult mention from before. Toxapex is one of the best pivots in the tier and it can regenerate out Thunderbolt damage for the most part.​

Mimikyu

I really don't think Mimikyu's worth a mention.​

Toxapex's EVs and nature enable it to switch into threats its meant to check as best as possible and makes it harder for Dugtrio to trap it.

You can be more specific about why it's physically defensive (G-Darmanitan, Gyarados, etc.). I know you mention these Pokémon in the paragraph itself but still.​

giving Toxapex opportunities to spread status with Scald and Toxic, set Toxic Spikes

Definitely talk a bit about Toxic vs. Toxic Spikes.​

Avalugg

I think there's more viable Pokémon you can put here. Not that Lugg is bad but it's kinda niche.​

​

Should be fine after implemented.

QC 1/2

This set's purpose is to switch into strong attackers like Galarian Darmanitan, Dragapult, and Aegislash Physically defensive Toxapex can pivot into Dragapult, but it's a relatively mediocre check. I think it may also be worth mentioning Barraskewda here. and force them out by walling them, giving Toxapex opportunities to spread status with Scald and Toxic, set Toxic Spikes, and recover health with Recover. Additionally, Toxapex is able to prevent setup sweepers like non-Earthquake Gyarados and Corviknight from snowballing games thanks to Haze.

While Toxic is generally preferred to cripple Pokemon like Mandibuzz, Dragapult, and Rotom-W, Toxapex's great bulk gives it ample opportunities to set Toxic Spikes, and Toxic Spikes is nice for wearing down entire teams as opposed to a single Pokemon. A mention of a specially defensive spread and a mention of Baneful Bunker are both definitely warranted here. A specially defensive spread gives Toxapex a much easier time against Dragapult; this is important for Ferrothorn-less teams. Baneful Bunker turns Toxapex into an even better check to Dragapult, and it also allows Toxapex to scout Pokemon such as Galarian Darmanitan.

Toxapex has good defensive synergy with Pokemon like Clefable and Ferrothorn that appreciate its ability to switch into Poison- and Fire-type attacks with ease. Pokemon like Aegislash and Tyranitar benefit from Toxapex crippling checks such as Mandibuzz, Corviknight, and Seismitoad with status. Toxapex doesn't get the chance to cripple Corviknight super often, so I think you can just leave that out. Toxapex is vulnerable to Ground-types like Excadrill and Mamoswine; pair it with Pokemon like Corviknight that can take attacks from such Pokemon.
