Effect

This section is incomplete.
Please feel free to edit this section to add missing information and complete it.
Reason: Interaction with Poison Touch Sunsteel Strike

In battle

Immunity prevents the Pokémon from being afflicted by poison.

A Pokémon with this Ability will be cured of poison if it is poisoned while in battle (such as if it gains the Ability outside of battle or by an effect like Skill Swap, or is poisoned by a Pokémon with an Ability like Mold Breaker). If the Pokémon is holding a Pecha Berry or a Lum Berry, it will be eaten before Immunity cures the Pokémon of poison.

Generation III

If a poisoned Pokémon with Immunity is sent into battle as one of the lead Pokémon or to replace a fainted Pokémon, it will not be cured of poison until after a Pokémon takes its turn (uses a move, switches out, etc.). It will be cured of poison if it is switched in to replace a switched out Pokémon.

If a poisoned Pokémon has Immunity as its original Ability but not its current Ability, it will remain poisoned when switched out.

Generation IV

When a poisoned Pokémon with Immunity enters battle, it will be cured of poison.

If a poisoned Pokémon has Immunity as its original Ability but not its current Ability, if it is one of the active Pokémon at the end of the battle or switched out, it will be cured of poison (with no message).

Generation V onward

If a poisoned Pokémon has Immunity as its original Ability but not its current Ability, it will remain poisoned when switched out.

Outside of battle

Pokémon with this Ability can't take damage from poison outside of battle.

If a poisoned Pokémon gains Immunity by evolution or the Ability Capsule, it will not be cured of poison until sent into battle. Pokémon with Immunity will not be poisoned by the Gentleman's Kirlia in the Battle Pike nor the Battle Arcade's game board.

User	First Chapter Used In	Notes

Enta's Zangoose	The Predestined Battle!	Debut

Trivia

Zangoose's inspiration, the mongoose, is likely the reason it has this Ability, as mongooses may be resistant or immune to snake venom.
