Toxic (Japanese: どくどく Excessive Poison) is a non-damaging Poison-type move introduced in Generation I. It is:

• TM06 from Generation I to Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, and in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.
• TM27 in Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!.
• TM175 in Generation IX.

Effect

	This move effect may be in need of research. Reason: Examine values for Max Raid Battles (x value appears to be lower?), interaction with Dynamax/Gigantamax You can discuss this on the talk page.

Generation I

	This move effect may be in need of research. Reason: Check whether this line applies to both Pokémon Stadium (Japanese) and the international Pokémon Stadium: "In Pokémon Stadium, the N value of Toxic is reset by Rest." You can discuss this on the talk page.

Toxic badly poisons the target, and has an accuracy of 85%. Toxic cannot affect Poison-type Pokémon.

When a Pokémon takes damage from bad poison, the damage done is N 16ths of the Pokémon's maximum HP (rounded down, but not less than 1), where N starts at 1 and increases each time it takes damage from poison or Leech Seed (meaning it may increase twice per turn if a Pokémon is affected by both). That is, the Pokémon takes damage equal to ${\textstyle N\times \left\lfloor {HP_{max} \over 16}\right\rfloor }$.

After the battle ends, bad poison becomes regular poison. If a badly poisoned Pokémon is affected by Haze or switches out, the Pokémon's poison status becomes regular poison. If a badly poisoned Pokémon successfully uses Rest, it will be cured of poison, but counter (N) is not reset; if it subsequently suffers burn, Leech Seed or poison damage, that damage is still be calculated using the value of the counter (N), and the counter (N) will still increase by 1 each time (but if the Pokémon is poisoned by Toxic, the counter is reset to 1).

In Pokémon Stadium, if bad poison is cured by Rest, the counter (N) is reset.

Generation II

Toxic cannot affect Steel-type Pokémon.

Toxic and Haze no longer interact with Leech Seed. Rest now properly removes bad poison entirely (including resetting the counter).

If a badly poisoned Pokémon uses Baton Pass or Heal Bell, the counter is not be reset (like using Rest in Generation I). As a result, if it subsequently suffers burn or poison damage, that damage is still be calculated as ${\textstyle N\times \left\lfloor {HP_{max} \over 16}\right\rfloor }$ using the value of the counter (N), and the counter (N) will still increase by 1 each time (but if the Pokémon is poisoned by Toxic, the counter is reset to 1).

In the Generation II core series games, when an in-game opponent outside of the Battle Tower uses Toxic, the move has a 25% chance to fail in addition to its normal chance to miss.

Generations III and IV

Toxic is now separate from other forms of recurrent damage (no longer builds from them or affects their strength). Toxic cannot affect targets with Immunity as their Ability.

A Pokémon that becomes badly poisoned with Toxic will no longer have its status changed to regular poison if it switches out or the battle ends.

Generation V

Toxic now has an accuracy of 90%.

A Pokémon that becomes badly poisoned with Toxic will now change to regular poison after the battle ends.

Generation VI onwards

If Toxic is used by a Poison-type Pokémon, that move will never miss, even if the target is in the semi-invulnerable turn of a move such as Fly or Dig. If that Pokémon uses any additional moves after Toxic in the same turn, those moves will never miss either—this is known as the Toxic sure-hit glitch.

Toxic can also be used as part of a Contest Spectacular combination, causing Hex, Venom Drench and Venoshock to give an extra three appeal points if used in the next turn.

If powered up by a Poisonium Z into Z-Toxic, the user's Defense stat rises by one stage.

If Toxic hits a Dynamaxed opponent in Max Raid Battles, the Dynamax Pokémon is inflicted with normal poison instead of bad poison.

If Toxic hits a wild Tera Pokémon in a Tera Raid Battle, the Tera Pokémon is inflicted with normal poison, rather than bad poison.

From version 1.0.0 to version 1.3.0 of Pokémon Sword and Shield, the Toxic sure-hit glitch remains the same as previous generations. In version 1.3.1 of Pokémon Sword and Shield, the glitch was fixed: If a Poison-type Pokémon uses Toxic, moves it uses later in that same turn perform accuracy checks as normal.
