'''Toxic''' (Japanese: '''どくどく''' ''Excessive Poison'') is a mostly accurate {{type2|Poison}} move introduced in [[Generation I]] that may heavily {{status|Poison|poison}} the opponent.

==Effect==
Toxic {{status|Poison|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 {{m|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. So in theory, simply using Toxic will kill an opponent in six turns using only 1[[power point|pp]]. 

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 {{m|Substitute}}, already has a major status ailment, or is of the {{t|Poison}}- or {{type2|Steel}}.

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

How the heck can Toxic be Snatched?

Unless I am mistaken, if you lose 1/16th HP then 2/16th and so on, Toxic on its own kills in six turns. If this is incorrect in some way, please tell me why.
