I find it interesting that people's first reaction is to throw toxicroak with other pokemon that cause poison like crobat. Sure i get it, that means virbank works with more of your pokemon. But why not team it up with something that can attack stuff that are immune to status effects. Mewtwo is an obvious partner, but when would you ever want to use Toxicroak over Mewtwo.
Though an interesting idea i just had would be to use a combination of Toxicroak, Togekiss, Reshiram, and Dragalge. Since Toxicroak causes 50 damage with poison per turn, after its your turn again, your opponent took 100 damage from poison. Then you switch into Togekiss and attack with return for 30 damage and draw up to 6 cards, and then 50 damage between turns hits for 180 total. It also protects Toxicroak from the damage the next active pokemon is going to do, as well as prevent any item effects on any of your pokemon. Reshi is for the firetype damage, and dragalge to prevent retreating.
Anyway, overall i find toxicroak a really lack luster pokemon. I like the artwork, and its one of my favorite pokemon. But its attacks are just rather weak for being an Ex. If triple poison was 1 energy or its 2nd attack was also just 2 energy that would be a different story.
