Best build for this cutie?
>>30746401
Can we PLEASE stop having so many of these threads? Make a build/set general or something.
Don't use baneful bunker unless you're a shitter.
>>30746451
No other threads but this one about Toxapex
>>30746454
>not using signature moves
>>30746454
I actually prefer it
guess I'm a shitter
>>30746451
Or just fucking go on smogon
Stop asking for people to spoonfeed you sets you faggots. Most of the time it's highly team dependent anyway.

heres the set i use
Sex Tent (Toxapex) (F) @ Black Sludge
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpA / 4 Spe
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Toxic
- Haze
- Recover
- Scald
>>30746656
Why Scald over Liquidation?
scald
toxic spikes / haze
recover
toxic
burn or poison things
spam recover like an asshole
toxic spikes for more toxic, haze so youre not set up bait for calm mind users and stuff
>>30746720
Burns nigga.
Also you can put the 8 extra EVs into defense for slightly more bulk.
Venoshock is better than scald, Toxapex eats physical attacks for breakfast anyway and why the fuck are you trying to burn things when you're already poisoning them
>>30746735
I meant special defense
>>30746720
Toxapex has worthless offensive stats anyway.
30% burn chance is better than whatever pathetic damage you'll do with Liquidation.
>>30746747
Burning helps out the rest of your team. Also steel and poison types exist.
while were talking about sets what do you guys run on this thing? i like it a lot but i don't know what moves to go with.

How much does Aurora Veil reduce damage by? Half?
>>30746974
so im a scrub and ive always wondered whats so good about encore? its always seemed strange since you could just get fireblasted into a bad situation or something.
>>30746974
Why no snow warning?
>>30747002
If you run into a set up user, you force them to keep setting up, which lets you switch in, or forces the other person to switch out
>>30747028
I fucked up and forgot to change the ability. All of them should have it since there isn't much to Ninetales without it.
>>30746999
Aurora veil is just light screen and reflect in one.
I've seen Infestation on it.Could work.
