Toxtricity has a Gigantamax form, which is the same regardless of its form. It can Gigantamax into Gigantamax Toxtricity if it has the Gigantamax Factor.
Biology
Toxtricity is a bipedal, lizard or salamander-like Pokémon. It has a purple-colored body and white eyes with black irises. It also has four spikes on the back and each wrist, as well as a crescent-shaped ring with six light purple spikes around the waist and a stubby tail.
By violently clawing at the dangerous organs on its chest, Toxtricity can make sounds resembling those of electric string instruments: a standard guitar for the Amped Form, and a bass guitar for the Low Key Form. While doing so, it can generate over 15,000 volts of electricity and scatters toxic sweat. Toxtricity chugs stagnant water to absorb any dissolved toxins it might contain, which it then breaks down in order to create electricity.[1][2] Short-tempered and aggressive, it looks down on all that would challenge it. Toxtricity is very popular with youths who admire the way it listlessly picks fights with any foe it faces and keeps its cool no matter what.
Toxtricity has three forms: Amped Form, Low Key Form, and Gigantamax Toxtricity.
Amped Form
Amped Form Toxtricity has a slouched posture. It has a yellow underbelly, yellow stripes on its legs, and yellow accents on its back, palms, and soles. It also has a yellow electric frill that extends from its snout to its neck. Two additional electric spikes protrude from its back. It has four horns: two smaller ones above its eyes, and two larger ones on the sides of its head. Six purple organs protrude from its chest.
Amped Form Toxtricity is known to be extremely confident and irritable. When it makes eye contact with someone or another Pokémon, it aggressively approaches and attacks them regardless of who or what they are.[1] As mentioned in the Sleep Style Dex, Amped Form Toxtricity occasionally strums its chest protrusion while it sleeps. If one hears intense guitar music at night, it is said to be the sound of a half-asleep Amped Form Toxtricity.
Low Key Form
Low Key Form Toxtricity has an upright posture, with its neck standing tall. It has a light blue underbelly, light blue stripes on its legs, and light blue accents on its back, palms, and soles. It has a large fin-like horn in front of its face, and two smaller horns on the sides of its head. Its two light blue electric frills run from the base of its larger horn, and down to its neck. Four purple organs protrude from its chest.
Low Key Form Toxtricity is known to be selfish and dismissive of others and has high regard towards its strength. In contrast to the Amped Form, when it meets another person or Pokémon, it does not directly initiate a conflict, but taunts its opponents into fighting it.[2] According to the Sleep Style Dex, Low Key Form Toxtricity has been observed acting like it is strumming a musical instrument while it sleeps. It is speculated that this form of Toxtricity dreams of being on stage, performing with rhythmic bass guitar sounds while generating electricity.
As Gigantamax Toxtricity, it has a larger appearance that resembles a combination of its two forms. It walks on all fours, but it is also capable of standing on its hind legs. It has a dark purple body with a dark pink underbelly and dark pink accents on its back, soles, and hind legs. Its spikes and the crescent-shaped body part on its waist turn bright pink, and from its waist grows a tail resembling a transmission tower, and two protrusions that resemble conductor coils. Three red clouds surround its tail. It has four horns on its head, and three large electric frills that run from between its horns down to its back: a yellow one at the center, and two light blue ones flanking it on either side. Its eyes have light blue sclerae and yellow pupils, which extend outside of its sclerae, resembling stars. Its chest has two light blue and four yellow organs protruding.
Gigantamax Toxtricity's main weapon is its excessive electric energy, which exceeds that of a thundercloud. It can store up to one million liters of poison, which penetrates its brain and causes it to go berserk as its every move leaks toxic sweat all over its body like acid rain. To attack, Gigantamax Toxtricity uses its stored electricity to create a guitar-shaped mass and slams it down toward opponents at full force, similar to the act of guitar smashing real rock singers do. The energy and momentum of this attack, combined with its already pottnt electricity, are powerful enough to create a giant crater in the ground.[3]
Gets you ingredients chosen at random. If there's one or more other Pokémon on the team with the Plus or Minus main skills, gets even more ingredients.
This Pokémon claws at the protrusions on its chest to make sounds as if it's strumming a guitar. It sometimes plays these sounds even when it's sleeping. If you hear intense music at night, it could just be the sounds of a half-asleep Toxtricity.
Gives your cooking pot room for more ingredients next time you cook. Restores Energy to one random Pokémon on your team if there's one or more other Pokémon on the team with the Plus or Minus main skills.
When this Pokémon generates electricity in its body, a sound like a rhythm played by a bass guitar reverberates all around. It sometimes seems as though it's playing a musical instrument while it sleeps. Perhaps it's dreaming of standing on stage and performing.
Toxtricity has two non-interchangeable forms: Amped Form and Low Key Form.
When Toxelevolves into Toxtricity, the form it evolves into depends on its Nature (unaffected by mints):
Toxel will evolve into Amped Form Toxtricity if its Nature is Hardy, Brave, Adamant, Naughty, Docile, Impish, Lax, Hasty, Jolly, Naive, Rash, Sassy, or Quirky.
Toxel will evolve into Low Key Form Toxtricity if its Nature is Lonely, Bold, Relaxed, Timid, Serious, Modest, Mild, Quiet, Bashful, Calm, Gentle, or Careful.
Both forms of Toxtricity have the same base stats, but they learn slightly different moves and have different possible Abilities. Both forms have access to the same Gigantamax form.
Toxtricity, the Punk Pokémon. An Electric and Poison type. Amped Form Toxtricity makes guitar sounds by clawing at the bumps on its chest. Low Key Form Toxtricity makes the sounds of a bass guitar.
Toxtricity, the Punk Pokémon. Low Key Form. An Electric and Poison type. When it generates electricity in its body, a sound like a bass guitar reverberates all around.
Toxtricity is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 502.
All of the Natures that lower the Attack stat (Bold, Timid, Modest, Calm) only belong to Low Key Form Toxtricity; likewise, all of the Natures that lower the Special Defense stat (Naughty, Lax, Naive, Rash) only belong to Amped Form Toxtricity.
Concept and development
Toxtricity, its pre-Evolution, and its Gigantamax form were all designed by Yusuke Kozaki.[4][5]
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.
Alternatively, Toxtricity may be based on newts, which are a type of salamander. Newts are poisonous, have rounded toes, and lizard-like bodies. The Northern crested newt in particular resembles Toxtricity, sharing its jagged crest, yellow underbelly, and spots resembling the chest protrusions. The spikes on the side of the Pokémon's head are reminiscent of the gills newts have in their larval stage.
Toxtricity also appears to be based on punk rockguitarists. Its Amped and Low Key forms resemble electric guitars and bass guitars; the number of their chest organs equals the number of strings on each guitar (six and four, respectively), and they make sounds similar to those of the respective instruments when strummed.[1][2] Its appearance features several fashion elements commonly associated with punk, such as the mohawk hairstyle, torn pants, and spiked bracelets and belts. Gigantamax Toxtricity's ability of generating a guitar-shaped spark to attack may be a reference to guitar smashing, a common act by guitarists at the end of a concert set where they smash their guitar against the floor. The pink and yellow coloration of its shiny form when in Amped Form greatly resembles the colors used in the album art of seminal British punk rock band Sex Pistols' debut record, commonly cited as one of the first full-length records of the UK punk movement.
Name origin
Toxtricity may be a combination of toxic or toxicity and electricity.
Strinder may be a combination of strings (of a stringed instrument) and salamander.
