Biology

Toxtricity resembles a reptile or amphibian. There are two forms of Toxtricity, Low Key Form and Amped Form, based on the Nature of the Toxel it evolves from. The protruding organs on its belly can be clawed at to generate electricity and, depending on the form, emanate sounds resemblant of an electric guitar or a bass guitar.

Forms

Gigantamax Toxtricity

Both forms of Toxtricity have the same appearance when Gigantamaxed. It walks on all fours, with star-shaped pupils and yellow and blue electric frills.

Its wrist spikes and tail are bright pink, the tail resembling an electrical tower. It can create a giant mass of energy shaped like a guitar to use as a swung weapon. Its signature G-Max Move is G-Max Stun Shock.
