If you are looking to get your hands on a Toxicroak, then you should try in the areas associated with its 2 types. Poison types are found in areas with still water like lakes and marshes, as well as more industrial areas. For Fighting-type, areas relating to sports and recreation, such as baseball fields or gyms, are a prime hot spot. Luckily, you will be able to find these areas in both rural and urban environments. Try going to places that have both lakes and sports fields, and a Toxicroak might be nearby. Further, both Poison and Fighting types are more commonly found when the weather is cloudy, so look for Toxicroak if Pokémon GO registers the weather as such. Unfortunately, Toxicroak is a fully evolved Pokémon, so it has a lower chance of appearing in the wild. Thankfully its pre-evolution, Croagunk, has higher chances of appearing.

So try to get a Croagunk and evolve it into a Toxicroak. It is the easiest and a surefire way to get Toxicroak. You will need 50 Croagunk candies in total to evolve it into a Toxicroak. Every Croagunk caught gives three candies and sending one away to Professor Willow gives one more. Because each Croagunk grants four candies in total, players will need to catch 13 for them to evolve one. Croagunk also has the unique Fighting and Poison-type combination, so they will appear in the same locations as their evolved form.
