Toxtricity
Toxtricity is an Electric/Poison type Pokémon introduced in Generation 8.
It has an electrical organ on its chest. While generating electricity, it fills its surroundings with what sounds like the strumming of a bass guitar.
Toxtricity evolves from Toxel at level 30, but the form differs depending on the Nature:
- Amped Form is obtained with a Nature of Hardy, Brave, Adamant, Naughty, Docile, Impish, Lax, Hasty, Jolly, Naive, Rash, Sassy, or Quirky.
- Low Key Form is obtained with a Nature of Lonely, Bold, Relaxed, Timid, Serious, Modest, Mild, Quiet, Bashful, Calm, Gentle, or Careful.
Note that using a Nature Mint will not change the form received.
Toxtricity has a Gigantamax form available in Pokémon Sword/Shield, with an exclusive G-Max move, G-Max Stun Shock. Both Amped Form and Low Key Form transform into the same Gigantamax form.

|---|---|
| Shield | This short-tempered and aggressive Pokémon chugs stagnant water to absorb any toxins it might contain. |
| Scarlet | As it scatters toxic sweat and emits electricity, a melody that sounds like it came from a guitar reverberates through the surrounding area. |
| Violet | The jolts of electricity it launches by violently strumming the protrusions on its chest easily exceed 15,000 volts. |
Low Key Form
| Sword | Capable of generating 15,000 volts of electricity, this Pokémon looks down on all that would challenge it. |
|---|---|
| Shield | It has an electrical organ on its chest. While generating electricity, it fills its surroundings with what sounds like the strumming of a bass guitar. |
| Scarlet | Many youths admire the way this Pokémon listlessly picks fights and keeps its cool no matter what opponent it faces. |
| Violet | As it gulps down stagnant water and generates electricity in its body, a sound like a rhythm played by a bass guitar reverberates all around. |
