Poison (status condition)

Poison (Japanese: poison) is a non-volatile status condition that causes a Pokémon to take damage over time. In the games, it is often abbreviated as PSN.
It is often caused by moves. Poison- and Pokémon are normally immune to being poisoned.
A Pokémon can be poisoned or badly poisoned (Japanese: deadly poison). The amount of poison damage inflicted to a badly poisoned Pokémon increases over time.

===Effect===
====In battle====
In battle, a poisoned Pokémon takes a fixed amount of damage each turn, while a badly poisoned Pokémon takes an increasing amount of damage each turn. The exact amount of damage varies between generations. Pokémon cannot be poisoned.
=====Generation I=====
A poisoned Pokémon will take damage equal to 1/16 of its maximum HP every turn, after it attacks, or at the end of the turn if it did not attack. If a poisoned Pokémon causes an opponent to faint, the poisoned Pokémon will not take damage that turn.
A badly poisoned Pokémon takes damage equal to 1/16 of its maximum HP (rounded down, but set to 1 HP if it would be less) on the first turn, after which damage increases by 1/16 each time it takes poison damage. The damage stops increasing when it equals 15 \times \left\lfloor \tfrac{HP_{max}}{16} \right\rfloor. When a badly poisoned Pokémon is affected by , switches out, or when the battle ends, it stops being badly poisoned, but remains poisoned.
If a Pokémon badly poisoned by is also under the effect of , both types of recurrent damage will draw upon the same N value to calculate how many multiples of 1/16 of the Pokémon's HP is taken as damage, and both will increase that value. If a badly poisoned Pokémon successfully uses , it will be cured of poison, but N is not reset; if it then suffers , or poison damage, that damage will draw upon the N value, and the N value will still increase by 1 each time (however, if the Pokémon is poisoned with Toxic, the N value will be reset to 1).
=====Generation II=====
A poisoned Pokémon will take damage equal to 1/8 of its maximum HP each turn.
Poison damage taken by a badly poisoned Pokémon no longer interacts with other types of recurrent damage. Haze no longer affects poisoning.
While Pokémon cannot be poisoned by moves, they can be poisoned by .
=====Generation III and IV=====
Poison damage is now taken at the end of each turn, regardless of whether a Pokémon faints.
A badly poisoned Pokémon will remain badly poisoned even if switched out or the battle ends, although the counter is reset.
Steel-type Pokémon can no longer be poisoned by any moves, including Twineedle.
=====Generation V onward=====
At the end of the battle, a badly poisoned Pokémon now stops being badly poisoned, but remains poisoned.
Poisoned Pokémon take double damage from and .
Poison- and Steel-type Pokémon can be poisoned by a Pokémon with the Ability .
If a Dynamaxed opponent in a Max Raid Battle becomes badly poisoned, it will instantly stop being badly poisoned, but will remain poisoned.
====Outside of battle====
From Generation I to , outside of battle, all poisoned Pokémon in the player's party lose 1 HP every four steps the player takes (every five steps in ).
However, when the player is moving automatically (such as when following the NPC found at the East exit of Pewter City, or when stepping on the traps at the Team Rocket Hideout, or when entering Lance's room at the Indigo Plateau), the poison step count remains unchanged and no HP is lost as a result of poison.
Pokémon with do not take poison damage outside of battle. (Pokémon with and still do, however.)
=====Generation I to III=====
Poisoned Pokémon take poison damage until they faint. If the player's only conscious Pokémon in their party faints this way, the player blacks out.
=====Generation IV=====
Outside of battle, if a poisoned Pokémon is brought down to 1 HP due to poison damage, it will be cured of poison instead of fainting.
=====Generation V onward=====
Poisoned Pokémon no longer take poison damage outside of battle.
===Appearance===
In Generation V, a poisoned Pokémon glows purple while in battle; from Generation VI onward, a poisoned Pokémon continuously releases bubbles of poison from its body.
In Generation V, the poison status condition icon for badly poisoned Pokémon has dark purple characters instead of white; in Generation VI, both the icon and text change color.

===Curing===
Poisoned and badly poisoned Pokémon can be cured with the use of an Antidote, Drash Berry (Generation III only) and Pecha Berry (PSNCureBerry in Generation II). In addition, like all other major status conditions, poison can be cured by the items Full Heal, Rage Candy Bar, Lava Cookie, Old Gateau, Casteliacone, Lumiose Galette, Shalour Sable, Big Malasada, Full Restore, Heal Powder, Lum Berry (MiracleBerry in Generation II), and Sacred Ash.
The moves and remove the poison status condition from the user, while (unless the Pokémon has Soundproof as their Ability in Generation III and IV) and remove it from all Pokémon in the user's party. In addition, the move shifts the poison onto its target (thereby healing the user). In Generation I only, using cures the opponent from poison.
Pokémon with will be cured upon switching out, those with the Ability will be cured whilst it is ing. Pokémon with have a 1/3 chance of being cured every turn, and Pokémon with have a 30% chance of curing their allies.
===Prevention===
A Pokémon that is currently or cannot become poisoned, except by Pokémon with the Ability; in Generation II only, can poison Steel-type Pokémon as well. However, a poisoned Pokémon retains this status condition even if it gains any of these types in battle (or regains the lost type once it is switched out or the battle ends).
A Pokémon with can become poisoned by a Poison-type move, because the Pokémon changes into the same type of the move after the status condition is inflicted.
Pokémon with the Ability cannot be poisoned. Pokémon with the Ability, Pokémon with the Ability, and in Meteor Form are completely immune to being poisoned. Pokémon with the Ability will prevent itself and its allies from being poisoned. Pokémon with the Ability will be protected from status conditions in . The Ability will prevent damage due to poison from being taken in battle; however, it does not prevent the damage from being taken outside of battle.
The moves and (for grounded Pokémon) will protect the party from status conditions for five turns. A Pokémon behind a cannot be poisoned, except due to or a held Toxic Orb.
===Advantages===
While poisoning and badly poisoning, like all major status conditions, have primarily negative effects, it can be advantageous to be poisoned in certain conditions. Pokémon with , , and will have their , , and increased by 50%, respectively, if poisoned or afflicted by any other non-volatile status condition excluding and ; however, in Generation IV, sleep will increase the Attack of Pokémon with Guts. Poisoning will increase the attack of a Pokémon with by 50%, and the base power of is doubled (from 70 to 140) when inflicted with poison. A Pokémon with will regain 1/8th of its maximum HP at the end of each turn instead of taking damage. When capturing Pokémon, the poison status also adds a 1.5× multiplier to the catch rate of any given Pokémon.
In competitive battling in Generation I, as Pokémon were not healed before link battles in the handheld games, players would often enter battles with their Pokémon already poisoned, as it prevented them from being affected by other more harmful status conditions; also, poison only inflicted 1/16 of the Pokémon's total HP as damage each turn rather than 1/8 as it does from Generation II onward. This tactic was not possible in the Pokémon Stadium series, as Pokémon were restored to full health before battle in these games.
===Other in-game effects===
If a poisoned or badly poisoned Pokémon gains the Ability through the use of , or another method, the poison status will be removed.
In , when the player is inside the Battle Pyramid, the types of Pokémon encountered on each floor follow a set of categories, on the second floor the player will encounter Pokémon that poison as their main tactic.
In the Generation IV games, , , at the Battle Arcade, one of the effects caused by the roulette is causing the poison status; Pokémon that would normally be immune to poison are unaffected. The poison will last for a single battle.
If a Pokémon has and hits a poisoned target, it will score a critical hit.
==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon===
Like the main games, Pokémon Mystery Dungeon also features poisoning. When a Pokémon is poisoned, it takes damage every ten turns and is also prevented from regenerating HP. Poison does not disappear over turns. When a Pokémon is badly poisoned, it takes damage every two turns and also prevents regenerating HP.
Similar to the main games, the poison status does not disappear over turns but can be healed with certain moves or items, and by going to the next floor.
======
Poisoned and Badly Poisoned are negative statuses in the . When a Pokémon is Poisoned, its HP will gradually drain at a rate determined by the Power of the Pokémon that inflicted it for ten seconds. However, if the affected Pokémon is controlled by a player, moving around will make the condition wear off faster, with the minimum duration depending roughly on the Pokémon's Speed. While Poisoned, purple bubbles emanate from around the affected Pokémon's head. The effects under Badly Poisoned are similar, but the rate at which HP is depleted gradually increases while the status lasts and purple smoke emanates from the Pokémon's head instead of bubbles. Though most negative statuses will replace one another if one is inflicted while another is present, Poisoned cannot replace Badly Poisoned (though Badly Poisoned will replace Poisoned).
No types are immune to poison, but Pokémon with the Poison Boost or Steady Special Traits cannot be poisoned or badly poisoned, and those with the Reflector Trait will cause the user of the poison-inflicting move to become poisoned or badly poisoned instead if hit by one.
===Pokémon Conquest===
Like the main series, poison does not wear off over time and a Pokémon inflicted with poison is protected from other status conditions. Pokémon can be poisoned by attacks, abilities, or by a Pokémon ending their turn in a poison bog. Pokémon can only be badly poisoned by the effect of Poison Fang. As in the main series, Poison- and Steel-types are immune to poison. Poison can be cured through certain Warrior Skills, items, or by ending a Pokémon's turn in a hot spring or a water bucket.
Poisoned Pokémon take damage equal to 1/8 of their maximum HP, rounded down, at the end of their side's turn, even if the poisoned Pokémon itself took no action. Badly poisoned Pokémon take damage equal to 1/16 of their maximum HP initially, with damage increasing by 1/16 at the end of each of their side's turns. Enemy Warriors defeated through poison damage are not treated as being defeated by the player, and thus cannot be recruited after the battle.

==In the TCG==
In the , Poisoned is one of the five Special Conditions along with Asleep, Burned, Confused, and Paralyzed. When a Pokémon is Poisoned, a poison is placed on it as a memory aid. One damage counter is put on the Pokémon in between each turn, during the step. This happens before resolving any other Special Conditions, with Burned, Asleep, and Paralyzed following in that exact order. (Confused does not do anything during Pokémon Checkup.)
The condition can be removed by returning the affected Pokémon to the Bench, by evolving it, or with the effect of certain cards. A Pokémon can be afflicted with Poisoned and Burned at the same time, along with one of Asleep, Confused, and Paralyzed.
A common effect seen on Abilities is increasing the number of damage counters placed on an opponent's Poisoned Pokémon between turns. One example of this is Seviper's More Poison. Some attacks and Abilities (such as Galarian Slowking VMAX's Max Toxify) create Poisoned conditions that cause more than one damage counter to be put on a Pokémon between turns. These special Poisoned conditions persist if the Status Condition is transferred to another Pokemon (such as by Dust Island).Unbroken Bonds FAQ (from Pokégym) However, while Abilities that increase Poison damage stack with each other and Abilities that increase Poison damage stack with improved Poisoned conditions, improved Poisoned conditions do not stack. The most recently inflicted Poisoned status condition overrides the prior condition, even if the newer Poisoned causes fewer damage counters to be placed than before.Unbroken Bonds FAQ (from Pokégym) 
==Trivia==
* Poison is the only status condition to have an effect outside of battle; however, from Generation V onward, it no longer has an effect outside of battle either.
* There is no way to badly poison a Pokémon in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, but the icon for it exists in the game files.
* In , if a Pokémon fainted due to poison damage outside of battle, using a Revive to restore it will not cure the poison status. This does not occur in .
