What is Toxicroak’s Weakness in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl?

Toxicroak is a Poison-type and Fighting-type Pokemon. It is weak against Psychic-type, Ground-type and Flying-type Pokemon. Ground-type and Flying-type moves will deal double the damage to Toxicroak, while Psychic-type does quadruple the damage. If you encounter any of these types while in battle, you should swap Toxicroak out for another Pokemon type that counters these. Below is a list of some Pokemon that are strong against Toxicroak:

• Abra/Alakazam
• Mime Jr./Mr. Mime
• Bronzor/Bronzong
• Ralts/Kirlia

Toxicroak also takes less damage from six different move types. These include Bug-type, Grass-type, Fighting-type, Poison-type, Dark-type and Rock-type Pokemon moves. When attacking, any of these types will do half their usual damage to Toxicroak, with Bug-type moves only doing a quarter of their normal damage. Below is a list of some Pokemon that are ineffective against Toxicroak:

• Wormadam
• Drapion
• Absol
• Shieldon/Bastiodon

If you encounter Toxicroak while in the Great Marsh, it is important to use Psychic-type, Ground-type and Flying-type moves while attacking. Having any of these types in your party will help your chances of winning in battle against Toxicroak. Avoid using any of the six move types, especially Bug-type, that Toxicroak is strong against unless you have no other options. You may want to swap your Toxicroak out for a more effective Pokemon if you are against Pokemon that counter it.
