Toxicroak Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Guide
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Dry Skin changes the entire equation for Toxicroak. The 490 BST doesn't tell the full story. Ranked C-Tier as an attacker. Drain Punch with Life Orb is the standard set.

For Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, the core moveset is Drain Punch, Sucker Punch, Swords Dance, and Poisonjab. Drain Punch leads at 0% usage. This set covers the attacker role with a mix of damage and utility.
