Gigantamax Toxctricity attacking with the guitar-shaped electric mass
By clawing at its protrusion located on its chest, both forms of Toxtricity can generate electricity. The sound it makes resembles that of an electric string instrument; a standard guitar for Amped Form, and a bass guitar for Low Key Form.
Gigantamax Toxtricity's main weapon is the excessive energy it generates while Gigantamaxing. It can create more electricity than a thundercloud. It can also store up to one million liters of poison. Due to the poison that penetrated its brain, Toxtricity lost control of itself. It rampages across the land by contaminating it with toxic sweat which gushes and pours down like acid rain. Gigantamax Toxtricity can create a gigantic mass of electricity shaped like a guitar from the electricity it stores. This mass is powerful enough to create a giant huge crater[3]
Toxtricity is the only known Pokémon capable of using the move Overdrive and exclusive G-Max Move G-Max Stun Shock.

Trivia
- No other Pokémon have the same type combination as Toxtricity and its pre-evolution.
- Toxtricity is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 502.
Origin
Visually, Toxtricity resembles lizards, especially the ones from the Agama genus, like the Mwanza flat-headed rock agama and the Namib rock agama. Like Toxtricity, this genus is known for displaying a variety of bright colors and possessing spikes on the region of the ear. They also fight using their tails as whips.
As confirmed by the Japanese and English names of its signature ability and its category, it also references punk rock guitarists. Its Amped and Low Key forms reference electric guitars and bass guitars, with the number of chest protrusions equaling the number of strings on each guitar (six and four, respectively) and, according to official bios, making a sound similar to that of the respective instrument when strummed by Toxtricity.[1][2] Gigantamax Toxtricity's habit of generating a guitar-shaped spark to attack may be also a reference to an act performed by various artists, in which they smash their guitars onstage after a popular song.
Name origin
Toxtricity may be a combination of toxic and electricity. It may also be derived from toxicity.
Sutorindā may be a combination of strings (of a stringed instrument) and salamander.
