Toxicroak (Japanese: ドクロッグ Dokurog) is a dual-type Poison/Fighting Pokémon.

It evolves from Croagunk starting at level 37.

Biology

Toxicroak is a dark blue and teal, bipedal Pokémon resembling a poison dart frog. Its head bears a gently-upward curling spike which seems to be a part of the skull. Its eyes are bright yellow, sinister and intimidating, with a small snake-like pupil. Its mouth gives an appearance of a mouth-guard, with its red upper lip curling upward at the ends in a very intimidating manner. Underneath its chin is a bulbous red vocal sac, which is smaller on a female Toxicroak. It has three fingers and one large red claw on the back of each hand. These claws on the backs of their hands can channel poison. Its forearms have two black rings encircling them. Its legs are muscular and seem to be adapted for speedy attacks. It has three toes on its feet, with a red middle toe on each foot, and a sharp spike which juts out of its heels. Underneath the pelvic area are two white horizontal lines. Thick black lines run down the sides of its body and surrounding its limbs, making them seem as if the limbs are detachable. The black lines go up into its face and surround the eyes before meeting in the middle of its snout, just above the upper lip.

By croaking, Toxicroak churns the poison stored in the poison sac on their throat for more potency. Toxicroak gives off poison with stings, though it can poison when touched. It can be cruel and fearsome, or it can be quite laid-back, relaxing on rocks and in marshes, studying the views around it. Toxicroak lives in moist areas around bodies of water.

Pokédex entries

Episode Pokémon Source Entry DP069 Toxicroak Ash's Pokédex Toxicroak, the Toxic Mouth Pokémon and the evolved form of Croagunk. The poison produced in its sacks is carried through tubes in its arms to its knuckle claws.

In the manga

Toxicroak in Diamond and Pearl Adventure!

In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! manga

Toxicroak first appeared with Jupiter, where she used it alongside her Golbat against Mitsumi and her Infernape and Leafeon. It was defeated by a Sunny Day-boosted Fire Spin.

Like in the games and anime, Toxicroak is Saturn's main Pokémon. Saturn used it to stop Hareta from stealing Azelf. Its poison left Hareta weak, but Azelf helped by boosting Hareta's willpower, which, in turn, activated Toxicroak's Anticipation.

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

Like in many other canons, Saturn is known to own a Toxicroak. She evolved from his Croagunk somewhere between Diamond & Pearl arc and Platinum arc.

Trivia

• No other Pokémon has the same type combination as Toxicroak and its pre-evolution, Croagunk.
  • Toxicroak, along with its pre-evolution, are also the only Pokémon with a double weakness to the Psychic type and the only Poison-type Pokémon with a double weakness, due to this unique typing.
• Toxicroak has the highest Attack base stat of all non-Mega Evolved Poison-type Pokémon.

Origin

Toxicroak may have been based on the poison dart frog. The claws on its hands may be inspired by the hairy frog, which defends itself by breaking its own toes and projecting sharpened bones from its skin.

Name origin

Toxicroak is a combination of toxic and croak.

Dokurog is a combination of 毒 doku (poison) and frog.
