Toxic Spikes (Japanese: どくびし Toxic Spikes) is a non-damaging Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation IV.
Effect
Toxic Spikes sets an entry hazard around the target Pokémon. One layer of Toxic Spikes causes opposing Pokémon to acquire the Poison status ailment upon switching in, while two layers causes opposing Pokémon to become badly poisoned. More than two layers has no effect; the incoming Pokemon receives the same bad poisoning.
Toxic Spikes has no effect against Template:Type2, Template:Type2, Template:Type2 Pokémon or Pokémon with the ability Immunity, Levitate, or Magic Guard. If a Poison-type Pokémon that is not also a Flying-type or have the ability Levitate is switched in, it will absorb Toxic Spikes and the effect of Toxic Spikes will end. Also, if a Poison-type Pokémon holding the item Iron Ball or switching in while Gravity is in effect that is also a Flying-type or has the ability Levitate is switched in, it will absorb Toxic Spikes. However, Flying and Levitating Pokémon are affected under Gravity, while holding Iron Ball, or if Baton Passed an Ingrain. The moves Rapid Spin and Defog remove the effect of Toxic Spikes; Rapid Spin removes Toxic Spikes set around the Rapid Spinner while Defog removes Toxic Spikes set around the target of Defog. Toxic Spikes does not activate the ability Synchronize unless a Pokémon on the field directly causes Synchronizing Pokémon to switch in, such as by using the moves Roar or Whirlwind.

User | First Used In | Notes | |
Drapion opens its mouth and a dark purple orb forms inside it. It then fires the ball into the air, which spirals and releases four small streams of purple smoke from the top of the ball. The orb then explodes, forming into multiple smaller orbs that fall and sink into the battlefield. The smaller orbs leave trails of purple smoke behind them as they fall. Any Pokémon that steps on the battlefield besides the user, their body becomes surrounded by purple static and purple waves and indigo bubbles rise from the ground over the opponent's body, damaging them. | |||

Trubbish opens its mouth and a dark purple orb forms inside it. Trubbish then fires the orb into the air, leaving behind purple streams of energy behind it as it does. The orb then explodes in the air and smaller magenta orbs with a dark purple aura around them fall to the battlefield and sink into the ground. When the orbs sink into the ground, they leave behind a ring of magenta energy for a moment. When the opponent steps on where the orbs of energy sank into the ground, a small explosion occurs under its feet and a ring of purple energy expand outwards, damaging it. | |||

User | First Chapter Used In | Notes | |
Qwilfish puffs its body up like a balloon and its spikes grow larger as well. It then releases a pulse of energy off its body and multiple energy beams rain off its body onto the battlefield all around the opponent. The energy beams sink into the ground and become invisible. If the opponent steps on where the energy beams went into the ground, a dark goo oozes out of the ground and poisons the opponent. When the opponent switches to another Pokémon, dark three prong spikes come out of the ground and stab into the opponent's feet, hurting it. | |||
