Characteristics
Defense
Poison-type Pokémon are immune to being poisoned (except by a Pokémon with Corrosion), and a grounded Poison-type Pokémon automatically removes Toxic Spikes on its side when it switches in. Although the majority of non-Poison types are able to learn Toxic, as of Generation VI, when a Poison-type uses the move, it cannot miss, bypassing accuracy checks and semi-invulnerable turns from moves such as Fly and Dig.
Offense
Poison-type moves, including the damaging moves, usually are capable of inflicting poison or bad poison. Poison-type attacks pair well with Ground, which covers Rock, Poison, and Steel-type Pokémon while Poison covers Grass.
Contest properties
In Contests, Poison-type moves typically become Clever or Tough moves. None of them are considered Cute.
Pokémon
As of Generation VIII, there are 87 Poison-type Pokémon or 8.49% of all Pokémon (counting those that are Poison-type in at least one of their forms, including regional forms), making it the 8th most common type after Fire and before Ground and Fighting.

In the TCG
- See also: Grass (TCG), Psychic (TCG) or Darkness (TCG)
Due to the decreased amount of types in the TCG, Poison-type Pokémon have been listed as three different types. They were listed as Grass-type Pokémon prior to the Diamond & Pearl set and as Psychic-type Pokémon from Diamond & Pearl to Cosmic Eclipse. Starting with Sword & Shield, they are now listed as Darkness-type.
Poison-type Pokémon in the TCG were generally weak to Psychic Pokémon prior to Sword & Shield and are now weak to Fighting. They have no resistances. They were strong against Fighting and Water Pokémon prior to Diamond & Pearl; in later expansions, they were changed to be strong against Grass-, Fighting- and Psychic-types. They can be resisted by Colorless and Darkness, as well as Metal since Diamond & Pearl.
Trivia
- Generation I introduced the most Poison-type Pokémon of any generation, with 33, and Generation VI introduced the fewest Poison-type Pokémon, with two.
- Generation I had more Poison-type Pokémon (33) than Water-type Pokémon (32), and it was the only generation where Poison is the most common type.
- Generation I introduced the most Poison-type moves of any generation, with eight, and Generation II introduced the fewest Poison-type moves, with only one.
- In Generation I, Poison-type moves are super effective against Bug-type Pokémon, while Bug-type moves are super effective against Poison-type Pokémon. This is the only case in which a pair of distinct types is super effective against each other.
- A Pokémon of every type except Poison was added to the Sinnoh Pokédex in Pokémon Platinum.
- The Poison type is the only one of the original 15 types not mentioned in the song 2.B.A. Master. Instead, the "Flame type" (which does not exist) is mentioned.
- All types that are super effective against the Dark type are resisted by the Poison type.
- The Poison type is the type that has been represented by the most types in the TCG, with three.
- Only odd-numbered generations introduced pure Poison-type Pokémon.
- The Poison type is one of the only two types, the other being Fairy, to not have any moves that cause flinching.
- However, the King's Rock and Razor Fang may make any of them able to cause flinching.
- The Poison type is tied with the Steel type for being the most common type among Ultra Beasts, with three Ultra Beasts being Poison- or Steel-type each.
- Poison and Flying are the only types to have at least one Pokémon in every Egg Group (not counting the Ditto Egg Group).
