Shadows of doubt alter3/1/2023 ![]() ![]() Peeling back the layers a bit, about the only things Toxapex struggles with are Ground and Steel types that resist Poison damage (though Brine, lousy move that it may be, does help out there, actually beating things like Mawile, Scizor, Bisharp, Golurk, Nidoking, and even Nidoqueen) and other Poison types that also resist Poison (nineteen of them in total). And not just the obvious Fairy types, but the Grasses… and the Fires… and most of the Darks too! And also things like Tentacruel, Skuntank, Alolan Muk, Haunter, Golbat, (Shadow) Beedrill, Poison-resisting Mawile, Crustle, and Nidoqueen too. ![]() Toxapex is now ranked #1 in GL Halloween Cup, with an 80% winrate across the entire format, and beats a robust two thirds of “core” meta opponents. I think I can keep this one relatively simple. GREAT LEAGUE – Rank #1 Toxapex Poison Water Tentacruel is looking scarier now with Scald in its arsenal, while Altered Giratina benefits from buffed Ancient Power in UL, as does Genesect with Ice-type Techno Blast now available.Tapu Fini and ultra rare Galarian Moltres have play in both versions of Halloween Cup, but both look better/more consistent in the Ultra version.This does represent another significant XL investment to work in Ultra, however. Runerigus is worth building anyway now that it finally has a viable fast move, but that’s especially true for Halloween Cup… both versions of it.They both rank right up there with (or often above) their fellow established Dark/Poisons. There’s no way to currently acquire them, but Hisuian Qwilfish and Overqwil are sure to make a mark this time around, H-Qwil primarily in Great and Overqwil more so in Ultra.It performs at a high level in Great and Ultra League editions of Halloween Cup, and the latter requires a hefty XL Candy price tag. Galarian Weezing is coming to raids during the Festival Of Lights event, and getting a good one and plenty of candy should be a very high priority for PvP players.Toxapex looks like the new queen of Great League Halloween Cup, beating tons of things it should AND many that make you scratch your head. ![]()
