While somefans roasted the new designsintroduced in 2023’s Fashion Week event, Toxicroak seems to be a clear standout from past events.

Like other Costumed Pokemon with similarly costumed evolutions, this Toxicroak carries over the backward hat from its Stage 1 form.

One fan pointed out how much better this design wascompared to Dugtrio’s, which many players have pointed out was a missed opportunity. “Obviously not the idiot who made Dugtrio only have one hat, that was a war crime.”
