Toxicroak was the second Pokémon that [[Saturn]] was revealed to have, and has been used in all of Saturn's appearances since its debut in ''[[DP069|Enter Galactic!]]'', except ''[[DP111|Saving the World From Ruins!]]''. In its debut episode, Toxicroak was sent out to send Team Rocket blasting off. Later, it appeared to battle against {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, but ended up battling {{an|Brock}} and his {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}} before [[Team Galactic]] escaped. It was shown to be very powerful in combat. After this incident, it developed a rivalry with Brock's Croagunk.

In ''[[DP097|Double Team Turnover!]]'', Toxicroak was used alongside [[Mars]]'s {{p|Purugly}} and several {{p|Golbat}} belonging to the {{tc|Galactic Grunt}}s. It managed to knock out [[Ash's Chimchar]] after Chimchar defended [[Ash's Pikachu]] from a {{m|Poison Jab}} while performing a direct {{m|Volt Tackle}}.

Toxicroak reappeared in ''[[DP136|Gateway to Ruin!]]''. It also appeared in ''[[DP151|The Needs of the Three!]]'' and ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', where it successfully battled [[Gary's Electivire]] and {{TP|Gary|Umbreon}}. Its final appearance was during the final battle with Team Galactic, where it was sent out to repel Ash's Pikachu and the other Pokémon. However, {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}} leapt from {{AP|Gliscor}} just as Toxicroak emerged, striking it in the head with {{m|Brick Break}} and knocking it out in one blow, leaving Croagunk satisfied and ending their rivalry.

* Saturn's Toxicroak in the {{pkmn|anime}} initially appeared to be of the [[Media:454 s.png|alternate-coloration]] as opposed to a [[Media:454.png|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 [[Media:454Toxicroak DP anime.png|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.
