Competitive Analysis

Gunk Shot has the secondary effect of having a 30% chance of inflicting poison to the target. This is one of the best physical attacks available and is recommended for use. However, it is important to take note of its accuracy as well as limited PP.

This is Toxicroak's strongest poison STAB move, and Dark-type Pokemon such as Pangoro can make use of it to counter Fairy-types.
