Toxtricity

Toxtricity is an Electric/Poison type Pokémon introduced in Generation 8.

It has an electrical organ on its chest. While generating electricity, it fills its surroundings with what sounds like the strumming of a bass guitar.

Toxtricity evolves from Toxel at level 30, but the form differs depending on the Nature:

Note that using a Nature Mint will not change the form received.

Toxtricity has a Gigantamax form available in Pokémon Sword/Shield, with an exclusive G-Max move, G-Max Stun Shock. Both Amped Form and Low Key Form transform into the same Gigantamax form.

Pokédex entries

Amped Form

Sword When this Pokémon sounds as if it’s strumming a guitar, it’s actually clawing at the protrusions on its chest to generate electricity.
Shield This short-tempered and aggressive Pokémon chugs stagnant water to absorb any toxins it might contain.
Scarlet As it scatters toxic sweat and emits electricity, a melody that sounds like it came from a guitar reverberates through the surrounding area.
Violet The jolts of electricity it launches by violently strumming the protrusions on its chest easily exceed 15,000 volts.

Low Key Form

Sword Capable of generating 15,000 volts of electricity, this Pokémon looks down on all that would challenge it.
Shield It has an electrical organ on its chest. While generating electricity, it fills its surroundings with what sounds like the strumming of a bass guitar.
Scarlet Many youths admire the way this Pokémon listlessly picks fights and keeps its cool no matter what opponent it faces.
Violet As it gulps down stagnant water and generates electricity in its body, a sound like a rhythm played by a bass guitar reverberates all around.

Gigantamax

Sword Its excessive electric energy is its weapon. This Pokémon can build up more electricity than any thundercloud.
Shield Out of control after its own poison penetrated its brain, it tears across the land in a rampage, contaminating the earth with toxic sweat.
