4th Gen Toxicroak or Drapion?

[HootlexxOfficial]

I am currently running a platinum playthrough, and just found out that you Can get both Crogunk and Skorpi without going to the safari zone! Though i'm a bit comfused, as to who I should choose. Could you guys help me?

Both are fairly solid choices. Looking forward to the elite 4, Drapion may prove a superior choice, as it gives you something that can tear through Lucian's team, whereas Toxicroak stands no chance against Lucian's team. Drapion also has better defenses, so it can Poison some of Cynthia's Pokemon which can be hard to take down.

I prefer Drapion myself. I like its design more than Toxicroak's, and Toxicroak has 3 weaknesses while Drapion has only 1.

I'm more of a drapion person since i find his typing and moveset to be more usefull than that of Toxicroak (he can learn all of the elemental fangs but you gotta use a move reminder for it)

he also can take more hits than Toxicroak.

I mean Drapion is practically better but I love Croagunk and Toxicroak so I often go for them.

Drapion has better typing, and there are better fighting types such as Lucario.

I'd go for Drapion.

 

[Hikamaru]

Like the others said, Drapion is the better choice of the two thanks to less weaknesses and also having better abilities than Toxicroak. Drapion also gets a lot of powerful moves through TMs (such as Earthquake) and it has the defenses to survive a lot of the game as well.

Toxicroak unfortunately gets outclassed by other Fighting-types, like Heracross or Lucario.

I'd go with drapion. I like the larger, more intimidating looking pokemon. And I was lucky enough to catch a shiny skorupi as one of only 3 shinies I've randomly encountered!
