I just realized that Toxic is no longer teachable...
WTF?! I can overlook the Dex limitations, I can overlook the removal of Mega Evolution and Z-Moves, I can look past the venomous fan base the game is generating, but the removal of a move that has become INTEGERAL to defensive Pokemon since gen 1? Not a chance.
I consider myself fortunate for having every competitive Toxic user in the new dex prepped and ready for transfer, but this is a serious blow to the competitive metagame without a means for defensive Pokemon to deal damage consistently, especially considering how many new Pokemon are clearly built for stall builds. I realize Pokemon like Shuckle and Mandibuzz now have this move in their learned skillset, but it still hardly compensates. Seems counterintuitive they introduce a Rapidash that can block and instantly heal poison while at the same time removing the primary method of poisoning from every Pokemon's moveset.
We wanted to remove Toxic from the fan base Gamefreak. Not from the game itself!
