Toxicroak (Japanese: ドクロッグ Dokurog) is a dual-type Poison/Fighting Pokémon.
It evolves from Croagunk starting at level 37.
Biology
Physiology
Toxicroak is based on the poison dart frog. Its appearance is much more humanoid than Croagunk, though it still maintains the appearance of an oversized bipedal frog. Its main body color is a dark blue or teal. Its head bears a gently-upward curling spike which seems to be a part of the skull, as it is covered in the same color skin as the rest of its body. Toxicroak's eyes are bright yellow, sinister and intimidating, with a small snake-like pupil. Its mouth is not much different from Croagunk's; it still looks as though it is wearing a mouth-guard, with its red upper lip curling upward at the ends in a very intimidating manner. Underneath its chin is a bulbous red vocal sack. Toxicroak has three fingers and one large red claw on the back of each hand. Its forearms have two black rings encircling them. Its legs are muscular and seem to be adapted for speedy attacks. It has three toes on its feet, with the middle toe red on each foot, and a sharp spike jutting out of its heels. Underneath the pelvic area Toxicroak has two white horizontal lines, which have moved down from Croagunk's chest. Toxicroak has thick black lines running down the sides of its body and surrounding its limbs, making them seem as if the limbs are detachable. The black lines go up into its face and surround the eyes before meeting in the middle of its snout, just above the upper lip.
Gender differences
A female has a smaller throat-sac.
Special abilities
Toxicroak can channel poison through the spikes on the back of their hands. By croaking, Toxicroak churn the poison stored in the poison sac on their throat for more potency. Toxicroak is also both venomous, as it can give off poison with stings and poisonous, since it can poison you even from touching it.
Behavior
Some Toxicroak can be cruel and fearsome, but a fair few and are quite laid-back and simply enjoy relaxing on rocks and in marshes, studying the views around them. When it croaks, the stored poison in the poison sac on its throat is churned for more potency.
Habitat
Like its pre-evolution, Toxicroak live in moist areas around bodies of water.

In the manga
In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! manga
Toxicroak first appeared with Jupiter, where she used it alongside her Golbat against Mitsumi and her Infernape and Leafeon. It was defeated by a Sunny Day-boosted Fire Spin.
Like in the games and anime, Toxicroak is Saturn's main Pokémon. Saturn used it to stop Hareta from stealing Azelf. Its poison left Hareta weak, but Azelf helped by boosting Hareta's willpower, which, in turn, activated Toxicroak's Anticipation.
In the Pokémon Adventures manga
Like in many other canons, Saturn is known to own a Toxicroak. She evolved from his Croagunk somewhere between Diamond & Pearl arc and Platinum arc.
