What this card does

The Spike Cannon attack flips four coins to deal random damage.

Super Intense Poison puts heavy poison on the opponent's active Pokemon.

Total Shelter GX stops all attacks and effects against this Pokemon for one turn.

Signature attack

Total Shelter GX

Prevent all effects of attacks, including damage, done to this Pokémon during your opponent’s next turn. (You can’t use more than 1 GX attack in a game.) (150 damage)

The key feature is Total Shelter GX. It acts as a shield that stops your Toxapex from taking any damage or being affected by moves during your opponent's next turn. This gives you time to set up your strategy without losing the card.
