It deals solid damage (50 in PvE, 35 in PvP) while having a reasonable energy cost (33 in PvE, 35 in PvP). However, the biggest threat of the move is its 30% chance to reduce an opponent's attack power by one stage.
This could potentially allow the highly-defensive Pokemon to weaken its opponent depending on the game's Random Number Generator (RNG). RyanSwag@SwgTipsRunning sims on Toxapex.

Please don't give it Muddy Water twitter.com/PokemonGoApp/s… SwagTips remarked that he had run battle simulations in GO Battle League with Toxapex, and the species had absolutely dominated the majority of its matchups.

He stated his concern not only for how considerably Toxapex could disrupt Pokemon GO's PvP Battle Leagues, but also the upcoming Pokemon GO Championship Series in the 2023 competitive season. Many trainers appear to have echoed SwagTips' sentiments, stating that even though Muddy Water only has a 30% chance to trigger, the game's RNG could cause it to trigger multiple times in a single fight.
This would essentially decimate even the most fearsome Pokemon who rely on their physical attack stats. It would make the uphill climb to overtake Toxapex even more difficult than it would already be given its high health and defense.

RyanSwag@SwgTips@banSpoofersP @HydraZinnober Explain how Toxapex a) beating 2/3rds of the meta and b) potentially beating the other 1/3rd with a 30% chance debuff move is "fun"
I see non-comp players here on twitter malding their minds out when a pick is too common/strong so how is Toxapex being broken a "fun factor"??@banSpoofersP @HydraZinnober Explain how Toxapex a) beating 2/3rds of the meta and b) potentially beating the other 1/3rd with a 30% chance debuff move is "fun" I see non-comp players here on twitter malding their minds out when a pick is too common/strong so how is Toxapex being broken a "fun factor"?? Though a certain portion of Pokemon GO's fanbase is relatively untouched by Toxapex's move choices (PvE players really only stand to benefit), the choice has certainly riled up many competitive GO Battle League players. Unfortunately, with the Pokemon's inclusion arriving in less than one week, Niantic may have already set everything into place.

Even with sufficient outcry from the player base, it may be too late to change Toxapex's moveset at the current time. However, competitive trainers shouldn't lose hope.
Niantic regularly tweaks Pokemon moves after their release, and this may very well be the case for Toxapex. This should be particularly true if it does indeed cause serious issues for the competitive meta and the community remains up in arms. Eventually, trainers may turn away from PvP, which would ultimately affect Niantic's bottom line.

It would seem appropriate for the developer to take a look at Toxapex in a proactive fashion, at least once more concrete battle data is available for analysis.
