Saturn's Toxicroak (Japanese: サターンのドクロッグ Saturn's Dokurog) is Saturn's main battling Pokémon in the anime and games.
In the anime
Toxicroak was the second Pokémon that Saturn was revealed to have, and has been used in all of Saturn's appearances since its debut in Enter Galactic!, except Saving the World From Ruins!. In its debut episode, Toxicroak was sent out to battle against Ash and his friends, but ended up battling Brock and his Croagunk before Team Galactic escaped. It was shown to be very powerful in combat. After this incident, it developed a rivalry with Brock's Croagunk.
Toxicroak reappeared in Losing Its Lustrous! where it helped Saturn steal the Adamant Orb from a high security plane and also defeated Brock's Croagunk later in a showdown.
It also appeared in Double Team Turnover! where it battled alongside Mars's Purugly and several Golbat belonging to the Galactic Grunts. It managed to knock out Ash's Chimchar after Chimchar defended Ash's Pikachu from a Poison Jab whilst performing a direct Volt Tackle.
Toxicroak made another appearance in Gateway to Ruin!. It also appeared in The Needs of the Three! and The Battle Finale of Legend! where it successfully battled Gary's Electivire and Umbreon. Its final appearance was in the final battle with Team Galactic, where it was sent out to repel Ash's Pikachu and the other Pokémon. However, Croagunk leapt from Gliscor just as Toxicroak emerged, striking it in the head with Brick Break and knocking it out in one blow, leaving Croagunk satisfied and ended their rivalry.

Trivia
- Saturn's Toxicroak in the anime appears to be of the alternate-coloration as opposed to a normal Toxicroak. However, there are many ongoing arguments in the fandom over this. Some people claim that merchandise depicting what appears to be the alternate-color Toxicroak is evidence that the anime considers Saturn's Toxicroak to be of the normal coloration. Other Toxicroak in the anime, as well as the species's Dream World artwork, appear with the same coloration as Saturn's, further proving this point.
