CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

Toxtricity produces a guitar-like sound when it scratches the protrusions on its chest. This movement generates electricity, rather than merely making noise. One entry also describes aggressive, quick-tempered individuals that drink stagnant water to absorb its toxins. These behaviours bring together three apparently distant elements: a musician’s movement, the production of current and a search for harmful substances. The sound accompanies very real electrical activity.

Background on the species in the video games; its forms and card versions may have appeared later.

A detail worth noticing

Pokémon Sword explains that Toxtricity’s apparent guitar chord comes from scraping its claws across its chest and is accompanied by electric current. Pokémon Shield describes a less musical habit: it drinks stagnant water to extract its toxins.
