Toxicroak, the evolution of Croagunk, is a Poison- and Fighting-type Pokémon that serves as a Tier-3 Raid Boss in Pokémon GO. Wielding 16,496 Combat Power, this Sinnoh Pokémon can be soloed by a high-level Trainer. As a Fighting and Poison pocket monster, Toxicroak is strong against Fighting, Poison, Rock, Grass, Dark, and Bug Moves. On the other hand, this Raid Boss’s dual-type elemental attribute makes it vulnerable to Psychic-, Flying-, and Ground-type abilities in Pokémon GO. Therefore, to counter Toxicroak, Trainers will need to form a Raid party that can utilize these three elements in Pokémon GO.
How To Counter Toxicroak In A Pokémon GO Raid
Since Toxicroak’s primary weakness is Psychic-type Moves, the top five counters for this Poison- and Fighting-type Pokémon in Pokémon GO are Shadow Mewtwo, Mewtwo, Mega Latios, Shadow Latios, and Hoopa – Unbound. However, Trainers who do not have these rare Legendary, Mega, and Shadow Pokémon in Pokémon GO can use unaltered Pokémon with the Psychic element.
