Toxic (Japanese: どくどく Excessive Poison) is a mostly accurate Poison-type move introduced in Generation I that may heavily poison the opponent.

Contents

Effect

Toxic badly poisons the opponent. Each time the opponent takes recurrent damage, the damage will equal

N*max(1, int(0.0625*MaxHP))

N starts as 1 but is increased by 1 each time the afflicted Pokémon endures recurrent damage (including by Leech Seed). Basically, the Pokémon will lose 1/16 of its maximum HP the first time, then 2/16 of its maximum HP, then 3/16 of its maximum HP, etc.

The N value of Toxic can be reset by Haze, switching, or ending the battle, but not by Rest. If a Pokémon rests off the poison and gets normally poisoned, burned, or seeded without switching out, the N value will influence the amount of damage done, and will increase each time recurrent damage is done. However, if a Pokémon gets badly poisoned again, the cumulative value will be reset. Unlike other types of damage, the recurrent damage done by Toxic can exceed the opponent's current HP.

Toxic can't affect an opponent that has a Substitute, already has a major status ailment, or is of the Poison- or Steel-type.

In Stadium, the N value of Toxic will be reset by Rest.
