Biology
Toxapex is a small Pokémon, encased by a dome made of its large blue legs. These legs are coated in spikes so toxic it is known to incapacitate a Wailord for days.
Design & origin
Like Mareanie, Toxapex is based on the Acanthaster.

Within the poison sac in its body is a poison so toxic that Pokémon as large as Wailord will still be suffering three days after it first takes effect.
ShieldTo survive in the cold waters of Galar, this Pokémon forms a dome with its legs, enclosing its body so it can capture its own body heat.
SwordWith its 12 legs, it creates a dome to shelter within. The flow of the tides doesn’t affect Toxapex in there, so it’s very comfortable.
Ultra MoonTo attack, this Pokémon sends toxic spikes flying at its enemies. Ones that come close get mown down by the claws on its feet.
Ultra SunThose attacked by Toxapex’s poison will suffer intense pain for three days and three nights. Post-recovery, there will be some aftereffects.
MoonToxapex crawls along the ocean floor on its 12 legs. It leaves a trail of Corsola bits scattered in its wake.
