Toxapex: Upsides and downsides: Toxapex can soak up toxics and resists a whole lot more than the other 2 whilst not being weak to grass. does have more weaknesses to worry about, somewhat easier to chip (this is kinda irrelevant and I'll get to that later in the post) and also can't soak up electric moves.

Quagsire and gastrodon: Upsides and downsides 1 weakness to toxapex's 3, however this is a much thinner rope to grab because that one weakness is a quad weakness. they do take less from stealth rock and soak up electric moves which is nice.

However they have a lot less resistances than pex which means less stuff you can wall with your typing. But you do fare better against heatran which is good. Part 3: Abilities Toxapex: Regenerator This is a super handy tool when you can't escape a 2HKO with recover and come in on something you wall to recover later. this also renders stealth rock nearly useless which is nice..

Gastrodon: Sticky hold OR Storm drain Sticky hold: Honestly I'd rather run storm drain to soft check waters but being a good knock off soaker is nice Storm drain: Soft check alot of waters that way and wall washtom.
