Characteristics

The Poison type is one of the worst in the game. Defensively, it is destroyed by Earthquake, one of the most common attacks. Having a weakness to Psychic also makes it extremely easy to defeat a Poison-type in one turn. The Poison type's only useful resistances are to Fighting and, at times, Bug.

Offensively, the Poison type isn't much better. It is only super-effective against one type, Grass, many of which are half Poison which makes it do damage as if it were a Pokémon of a type that Poison neither weakens or does weakly against. On the other hand, it is resisted by Ground, Rock, and Ghost and completely ineffective against Steel. The only advantage of Poison type moves is that many of them may poison the opponent, unless the foe is also Poison, in which case it will not be able to be poisoned.
