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!
