Biography[]
Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl[]
Toxicroak first appeared in Veilstone City when Team Galactic attempted to steal a bunch of meteorites. It used Sludge Bomb to attack Team Rocket, until the heroes arrived. It then fired Dark Pulse, which Maylene's Lucario countered with Aura Pulse. As Toxicroak repeated the attack, Reggie and Electabuzz and Ash and Pikachu retaliated, too. Brock's Croagunk then noticed Toxicroak, and instantly formed a fierce rivalry with it. Croagunk went to use Brick Break and Poison Sting, but Toxicroak negated the attack with Sludge Bomb. It then used Sludge Bomb on Electabuzz before Team Galactic fled.[1] Saturn and Toxicroak arriving in Veilstone City to execute their plan was remembered by Ash, Dawn and Brock, as they were going to Snowpoint City.[2]
At the moment Team Galactic went to steal the Lustrous Orb, Toxicroak was used to defeat police officers. It then faced Brock's Croagunk by smashing him through a skylight and then stabbing him in the stomach with Poison Jab, which left Croagunk greatly wounded.[3] It went to use Dark Pulse, but was countered by Cynthia's Gastrodon and Garchomp. Pikachu went to use Volt Tackle, but as Toxicroak went to strike him with Poison Jab, Chimchar pushed Pikachu aside, letting himself getting struck.[4] Pairing up with Charon, Saturn sent Toxicroak to use Rock Smash, revealing the gateway to the Spear Pillar. As Team Rocket attempted to steal the case, Saturn's Toxicroak used Dark Pulse to blast them away, and obtain that case.[5]
Saturn had Toxicroak use Rock Smash on a boulder, revealing the entrance to the Spear Pillar.[6] As Gary tried to stop Hunter J from capturing Azelf, Saturn sent his Toxicroak to stop his Electivire and Umbreon by using Dark Pulse and X-Scissors. As J succeeded in her task and flew off, Gary went to have his Electivire use Thunder on her, but Toxicroak intercepted them. As Ash, Brock and Dawn were teleported by the Lake Trio to Team Galactic Headquarters, Mars sent Purugly to restrain them. Brock's Croagunk sensed Toxicroak's presence and became hostile, before moving in to attack it.[7] Toxicroak used Sludge Bomb to attack the heroes' Pokémon, overpowering them. As the heroes came to the Spear Pillar to stop Cyrus, Saturn sent Toxicroak to attack their Piplup and Pikachu. In that moment, Croagunk managed to defeat Toxicroak with a devastating Brick Break to the head.[8]
