Well then, welcome to competitive battling. The easiest way to determine natures is to look for the highest stat that the Pokemon has so for example with Salazzle, it's highest stat is it's speed stat so you would want to go for a nature that increases speed, however, since Salazzle is a special attacker, you want to run a Timid nature

For defensively oriented Pokemon like Toxapex, however, it can be a little tricky. To be honest in most situations it comes down to preference whether you prefer your Pokemon to take special hits better or physical hits. I say in most cases because there are going to be some cases where only a specific variant works for your team

A formula I like to use for team building is: 0-1 Sweepers, 1-2 Breakers, 1 Stallbreaker, 2-3 Pivots or Walls, 1 SR setter, 1 Hazard Remover

If you don't understand what these terms mean, check out here

Best of luck to ya!
