{{move|List of moves that set traps|alt=Trap (battle)}}
An '''entry hazard''' is any battlefield effect that affects the opponent's Pokémon as they are sent out of their [[Poké Ball]]. Any Pokémon already on the battlefield when these effects begin will be unaffected. Most moves that create entry hazards are [[status move]]s.
A '''trap''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|罠|わな}}'''), more commonly known by the fan term '''entry hazard''', is a condition that affects a side of the field that causes any Pokémon that is sent into battle on that side of the field to be afflicted by a negative effect. Traps are created by moves, normally [[status move]]s.


Entry hazards are removed by {{m|Rapid Spin}} (user's side) and {{m|Defog}} (Generation VI: both sides; Generation IV-V: only opponent's side). In addition, {{m|Toxic Spikes}} is removed by a [[grounded]] {{type|Poison}} Pokémon upon switching in. Entry hazards will not trigger for support Trainers joining the battle in [[Pokemon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]
Some moves effects can remove traps.
* {{m|Rapid Spin}} and {{m|Mortal Spin}} remove traps from the user's side of the field
* {{m|Defog}} removes traps from the target's side of the field ([[Generation IV]]-{{gen|V}}) or both sides of the field ([[Generation VI]] onward)
* {{m|Tidy Up}} removes traps from both sides of the field
* {{m|G-Max Wind Rage}} removes traps from the target's side of the field
* {{m|Court Change}} will exchange the traps on each side of the field, along with other one-sided field conditions.


The following moves create entry hazards of various types:
If a [[grounded]] {{type|Poison}} enters the battle, it will remove {{m|Toxic Spikes}} from its side of the field.

== Trivia ==
* Only even-numbered [[generation]]s have introduced new moves that set traps.
* There is no way to place sharp steel in [[Generation IX]].
* Traps don't exist in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}. Instead, moves that would otherwise set traps inflict [[splinters]] on the target.
* In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, it is possible for a Pokémon to faint from full HP using only traps. This can be achieved by switching in {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Ninetales}}, {{p|Amaura}}, {{p|Aurorus}}, {{p|Snom}}, or {{p|Frosmoth}} after Stealth Rock, three layers of Spikes, and sharp steel have been set.

Please discuss whether or not to move it on its talk page.

A trap (Japanese: 罠(わな)), more commonly known by the fan term entry hazard, is a condition that affects a side of the field that causes any Pokémon that is sent into battle on that side of the field to be afflicted by a negative effect. Traps are created by moves, normally status moves.

Some moves effects can remove traps.

If a grounded Poison-type enters the battle, it will remove Toxic Spikes from its side of the field.

Pokémon holding Heavy-Duty Boots are unaffected by traps, but grounded Poison-type Pokémon can still remove Toxic Spikes even if they hold it.

Traps activate before Abilities that activate upon entering battle, except Unnerve, Neutralizing Gas, and As One.

Traps do activate when a new Pokémon is summoned in an SOS Battle. Traps do not activate for Support Trainers joining the battle in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!
