Quick facts
About Gigantamax Toxtricity
Gigantamax Toxtricity is an Electric/Poison-type raid boss with flashy animations and powerful charged moves. Its dual typing makes it particularly vulnerable to Ground and Psychic attacks — build your team around those weaknesses for the fastest clears. This guide covers moves to watch for, optimal counters, weather effects, and catch advice.
Short: Gigantamax Toxtricity charges its Max meter very quickly (Spark is a fast energy generator) and uses an Electric-themed G‑Max move — prioritize heavy Ground attackers for fastest time-to-win.

Moves & Threats
Toxtricity common fast moves are Spark or Poison Jab or Acid. Charged moves include Acid Spray or Wild Charge or Discharge and Power-Up Punch.
Weather Effects
Bring potions, revives, and consider swapping in a bulky Ground or Psychic if Toxtricity uses a super-effective Electric charged move.
Battle Tips
- Bring as many powerful Ground attackers as you can.
- If you lack Ground, use top Psychic DPS as a fallback.
- Keep one high-TDO tank in very large lobbies to soak G‑Max bursts and maintain raid uptime.
- Favor uptime over dodging — only quick‑dodge the heaviest G‑Max shot that would faint your counters.
- Star/favorite predefined teams to reduce relobby time between attempts.
Team size & strategy
15-20 trainers are required.
Recommended items
- Max Revives
- Max Potions
- Golden Razz for the catch
When To Avoid
Avoid pure Electric and Poison attackers — they take neutral or super effective damage from Toxtricity's moves. Also be cautious with bulky Water types, since they may get hit hard by powerful Electric charged moves.
Raid Strategy & Catch Tips
If Toxtricity uses a heavy Electric charged move (like Overdrive or Wild Charge), swap to a Ground attacker or use shields wisely. After the raid, use Golden Razz to increase catch odds and aim for weather-boosted encounters for better CP potential.
