{{Type|Poison}}-[[Types|type]] [[Pokémon (species)|Pokémon]] have a toxic quality about them, be it because they produce venom ([[Ekans]] and [[Arbok]] for example), are poisonous plants ([[Bulbasaur]] and [[Oddish]] – these are dual [[Grass Pokémon|Grass]]-and-Poison types), or have some sort of general toxicity about them (such as [[Koffing]] or [[Grimer]]). Many Poison-type moves can cause the Poison status effect, which causes the attacked Pokémon to lose hit points each turn. The Toxic or 'badly poisoned' status effect causes the amount of damage done by the poison to double each turn. Some Poison Pokémon are considered to represent a forms of pollution such as Koffing/[[Weezing]] (air pollution) and Grimer/[[Muk]] (toxic waste). Poison-types are immune to the Poisoned status effect.
 
  +
The {{Nihongo|{{type|Poison}} [[Types|type]]|どくタイプ|Doku taipu}} is one of the eighteen [[Pokémon Types|Pokémon elemental types]].
==Weaknesses and resistance==
 
  +
A type chart displaying the weaknesses and resistance of a Pokémon when damaged by a move. Empty fields are moves that do normal damage.
 
  +
These Pokémon have a natural toxic quality; some directly represent real-world species known for their venom, such as snakes, and some even represent pollution itself. They normally live in caves, marshes or similar places.
  +
  +
Most Poison-type Pokémon are based on poisonous or venomous animals (Pokémon such as [[Seviper]], which is a snake, [[Drapion]], which is a scorpion, and [[Scolipede]], which is a centipede). Some of them are also based on poisonous plants or fungi (Pokémon such as [[Foongus]], which is a mushroom, and [[Oddish]], which is a mandrake root). Most dual Poison-type Pokémon have {{Type|Bug}} type or {{Type|Grass}} type as their other type. This reflects how, in real life, many insects and plants are poisonous or venomous. A very curious fact about Poison-type Pokémon is that some of them resemble ninjas. For example, [[Koffing]] is like a smoke ball, [[Crobat]] has a ninja's speed and secrecy and [[Toxicroak]] has paws that make it resemble a ninja. Some Poison types also resemble types of pollution. For instance, [[Garbodor]] represents trash pollution, [[Weezing]] represents air pollution and [[Muk]] represents liquid pollution. Strangely, not all Poison types are based on poisonous or venomous things ([[Stunky]], which is based on a skunk, and [[Skrelp]], which is based on a leafy sea dragon, are both real-life animals that are not poisonous or venomous).
  +
  +
The Poison type is related to the status effects [[Poisoned]] and Badly Poisoned, which are produced mostly by Poison-type moves.
  +
  +
Famous Poison-type Pokémon Trainers include [[Koga]], fifth Gym Leader of [[Kanto]] and now second member of the [[Indigo League]]; [[Janine]], Koga's daughter who succeeded her father's position in [[Kanto]]; [[Agatha]], the then-third member of the [[Indigo League]] (her main type is [[Ghost type|Ghost]], but all of her Pokémon are Poison-type as well); [[Roxie]], second Gym Leader in [[Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]]; [[Plumeria]], the [[Team Skull|Team Skull Admin]]; and [[Atticus]], the boss of [[Team Star]]'s [[Navi Squad]]. Also, most villain teams in the games specialize in Poison-type Pokémon, along with Dark-types.
  +
  +
Poison-type Pokémon that are not {{Type|Flying}}-type or have [[Levitate]] also remove [[Toxic Spikes]] when they switch in.
  +

==Relations with other types==
  +
*They have no effect against the {{Type|Steel}} type because poison can't circulate through or penetrate metals, mainly because they're not organic materials.
  +
*They're strong against the {{Type|Fairy}} type because fairies represent purity and poison represents pollution, and thus fairies have weak immune systems.
  +
*They're strong against the {{Type|Grass}} type because trees and plants are damaged by pollution and toxins, such as herbicides.
  +
*They're weak against the {{Type|Ground}} type because earthen and sandy features neutralize and mitigate the toxicity of poison, making them less effective. Alternatively, it could be because while living organisms and thus the Earth's biosphere may be devastated by pollution, the Earth itself is relatively unchanged by it.
  +
*They're weak against the {{Type|Psychic}} type because mind can't be poisoned. Poison acts over the body, and the mind is superior to the body, while Psychic-type attacks are mental. Alternatively, it may be because going into a medical field requires a lot of education and knowledge, giving the idea of keeping poisons at bay, hence the term "mind over matter".
  +
*They resist the {{Type|Fighting}} type because when poisoned, a fighter or deportist loses strength. Fighters try to be healthy as most as they can and poison can make them sick. It could also be said that since some Poison-type Pokémon have a gelatinous body, punches and kicks cushions the impact. Curiously, the {{Type|Fighting}} type isn't weak to them.
  +
*They were strong against the {{Type|Bug}} type in [[Generation I]] because of insecticides, which are chemicals used to kill bugs. However, since [[Generation II]], the Bug type takes normal damage from them because many insects have developed resistance to some insecticides and sometimes even carry toxins themselves.
  +
* The {{Type|Ghost}} type resists them because the spirit doesn't have a physical form, thus; toxins can't pass through. Additionally, if you try to poison a corpse, the corpse won't be affected because it's already dead.
  +
* The {{Type|Rock}} type resists them because since rocks aren't alive creatures, poison can hardly damage them.
  +
*They resist themselves because venomous animals can't poison each other.
  +
  +
==Trivia==
  +
*Despite being all physical attack moves before [[Generation IV]], there are more Special moves than Physical moves that are Poison type.
  +
* The only type combination that allows for a double weakness to {{Type|Poison}} type is {{Type|Grass}}/{{Type|Fairy}}.
  +
*Strangely, the {{Type|Water}} type takes neutral damage from the Poison-type instead of being weak to them, despite the fact that water is very easy to pollute, especially by toxic waste, and aquatic beings have great difficulty surviving in polluted water.
  +
*Currently, all of the [[Generation I]] Pokémon with unique type combinations that are not [[Regional form|Regional forms]] are Poison types.
  +
*No even-numbered generation has introduced a pure {{type|Poison}}-type Pokémon.
  +
*The {{Type|Poison}} type was the last type to receive the {{Type|Psychic}} type with [[Slowbro|Galarian Slowbro]] and [[Slowking|Galarian Slowking]] in [[Generation VIII]].
  +
*As of [[Generation IX]], the only type that hasn't been paired with the Poison-type is the {{type|Ice}} type.

Type Poison
Type Poison HOME

The Poison type (Japanese: どくタイプ, HepburnDoku taipu) is one of the eighteen Pokémon elemental types.

These Pokémon have a natural toxic quality; some directly represent real-world species known for their venom, such as snakes, and some even represent pollution itself. They normally live in caves, marshes or similar places.

Most Poison-type Pokémon are based on poisonous or venomous animals (Pokémon such as Seviper, which is a snake, Drapion, which is a scorpion, and Scolipede, which is a centipede). Some of them are also based on poisonous plants or fungi (Pokémon such as Foongus, which is a mushroom, and Oddish, which is a mandrake root). Most dual Poison-type Pokémon have Bug type or Grass type as their other type. This reflects how, in real life, many insects and plants are poisonous or venomous. A very curious fact about Poison-type Pokémon is that some of them resemble ninjas. For example, Koffing is like a smoke ball, Crobat has a ninja's speed and secrecy and Toxicroak has paws that make it resemble a ninja. Some Poison types also resemble types of pollution. For instance, Garbodor represents trash pollution, Weezing represents air pollution and Muk represents liquid pollution. Strangely, not all Poison types are based on poisonous or venomous things (Stunky, which is based on a skunk, and Skrelp, which is based on a leafy sea dragon, are both real-life animals that are not poisonous or venomous).

The Poison type is related to the status effects Poisoned and Badly Poisoned, which are produced mostly by Poison-type moves.

Famous Poison-type Pokémon Trainers include Koga, fifth Gym Leader of Kanto and now second member of the Indigo League; Janine, Koga's daughter who succeeded her father's position in Kanto; Agatha, the then-third member of the Indigo League (her main type is Ghost, but all of her Pokémon are Poison-type as well); Roxie, second Gym Leader in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2; Plumeria, the Team Skull Admin; and Atticus, the boss of Team Star's Navi Squad. Also, most villain teams in the games specialize in Poison-type Pokémon, along with Dark-types.

Poison-type Pokémon that are not Flying-type or have Levitate also remove Toxic Spikes when they switch in.

Pokémon with Poison-type alternate forms

The following alternate forms of some Pokémon are also of the Poison type.

Relations with other types

  • They have no effect against the Steel type because poison can't circulate through or penetrate metals, mainly because they're not organic materials.
  • They're strong against the Fairy type because fairies represent purity and poison represents pollution, and thus fairies have weak immune systems.
  • They're strong against the Grass type because trees and plants are damaged by pollution and toxins, such as herbicides.
  • They're weak against the Ground type because earthen and sandy features neutralize and mitigate the toxicity of poison, making them less effective. Alternatively, it could be because while living organisms and thus the Earth's biosphere may be devastated by pollution, the Earth itself is relatively unchanged by it.
  • They're weak against the Psychic type because mind can't be poisoned. Poison acts over the body, and the mind is superior to the body, while Psychic-type attacks are mental. Alternatively, it may be because going into a medical field requires a lot of education and knowledge, giving the idea of keeping poisons at bay, hence the term "mind over matter".
  • They resist the Fighting type because when poisoned, a fighter or deportist loses strength. Fighters try to be healthy as most as they can and poison can make them sick. It could also be said that since some Poison-type Pokémon have a gelatinous body, punches and kicks cushions the impact. Curiously, the Fighting type isn't weak to them.
  • They were strong against the Bug type in Generation I because of insecticides, which are chemicals used to kill bugs. However, since Generation II, the Bug type takes normal damage from them because many insects have developed resistance to some insecticides and sometimes even carry toxins themselves.
  • The Ghost type resists them because the spirit doesn't have a physical form, thus; toxins can't pass through. Additionally, if you try to poison a corpse, the corpse won't be affected because it's already dead.
  • The Rock type resists them because since rocks aren't alive creatures, poison can hardly damage them.
  • They resist themselves because venomous animals can't poison each other.

Trivia

  • Despite being all physical attack moves before Generation IV, there are more Special moves than Physical moves that are Poison type.
  • The only type combination that allows for a double weakness to Poison type is Grass/Fairy.
  • Strangely, the Water type takes neutral damage from the Poison-type instead of being weak to them, despite the fact that water is very easy to pollute, especially by toxic waste, and aquatic beings have great difficulty surviving in polluted water.
  • Currently, all of the Generation I Pokémon with unique type combinations that are not Regional forms are Poison types.
  • No even-numbered generation has introduced a pure Poison-type Pokémon.
  • The Poison type was the last type to receive the Psychic type with Galarian Slowbro and Galarian Slowking in Generation VIII.
  • As of Generation IX, the only type that hasn't been paired with the Poison-type is the Ice type.
