Merciless or Regenerator for Toxapex?

Question

Which is more suitable for Toxapex?

Comments

Merciless is pretty useless because Toxapex's attack stats are too low for critical hits to make much of a difference.

Answer 1

Merciless and Regenarator both are good. Merciless makes Toxapex's attacks become critical hits while the target is poisoned, but it would be rare that an opponent poisoned a Poison type Pokemon. So, I think Regenarator is good. But, unfortunately, Toxapex cannot learn U-Turn or Volt Switch, like Mienshao, so that's a problem. But, Regenerator restores 1⁄3 of Toxapex's maximum HP when switching out.
So, I think Regenarator is better than Merciless for Toxapex.

Regenerator is like a million times better than Merciless. You forgot to mention that Toxapex has terrible Attack, which defeats the whole point of Merciless, and him not learning U-Turn doesn’t really take away the viability of Regenerator; like I said earlier his attack and speed is so low U-Turn would do minimal damage and he would get outspeed too
