Onix is a fabulous Special Sweeper. The purpose of this moveset is to take down the opponent's team with high-damaging special attacks. Don't forget back before Generation IV, a move's damage category was determined by its type.
♦ Harden is a status move (raises your Onix's defense by 1 stage). ♦ Toxic is a status move (badly poisons the target). ♦ Roar is a status move (forces the target to switch to a random ally). ♦ Protect is a status move (prevents moves from affecting your Onix this turn).
Note: This moveset is considered Taunt bait! It is highly recommended you typically have atleast one move that does actual damage!

Several moves listed here may have additional effects that might alter actual damage output which are not factored on this specific list. Use damage calculators to find actual damage amounts.
