# Toxapex #63/149 — Sun & Moon

## Summary

Toxapex is a Gen VII Poison and Water defender with a quiet following among players who appreciate walls, and Arita's name on a mid-tier Rare from the opening Sun & Moon set gives it a draw beyond its play. Its Ability was a niche disruption idea rather than a format staple. A $0.38 modelled guide, up 3% over 30 days on 6 copies traded, says bulk, with 260 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
