Toxicroak is Saturn's first known Pokémon. It first appeared as a Croagunk in Passing by Probopass and Maneuvering around Magnezone with its Trainer. In Crowded by Croagunk & Advanced on by Abra I, she was used to battle Paka and Uji with Saturn's Abra. With her ability to detect her opponents' movements, she had an advantage. Despite this, she was eventually defeated along with Abra.
At the Spear Pillar, she was used to battle Roark and Fantina along with Abra and Octillery. Eventually, she was defeated along with the rest of Saturn's team.
In the Platinum arc, she was revealed to have evolved into a Toxicroak. There, she was used by Saturn at the Distortion World, where she did battle with Mira's Alakazam. Mira attempted to make the fight last long, but they were interrupted by Giratina when it flew past them.

Trivia
- Saturn's Toxicroak in the anime initially appeared to be of the alternate-coloration as opposed to a normal Toxicroak. However, there were many arguments in the fandom over this (with some people claiming that merchandise depicting what appears to be the alternate-color Toxicroak is evidence that the anime considers Saturn's Toxicroak to be of the normal coloration). As other Toxicroak in the anime, as well as the species's anime artwork, appeared with the same coloration as Saturn's, it soon became clear that the color of Saturn's Toxicroak was intended to be the normal anime coloration.
