Corrosion (Japanese: ふしょく Corrosion) is an Ability introduced in Generation VII. Prior to Generation IX, it was the signature Ability of Salandit and Salazzle.
Effect
In battle
![]() |
This Ability effect may be in need of research. Reason: - does Corrosion + G-Max Stun Shock still do 50%-50% between paralyze/poison on both Steel and Poison opponents - user with Corrosion poisoned + Psycho Shift onto Steel/Poison opponent You can discuss this on the talk page. |

Corrosion allows the user to inflict poison on any Pokémon regardless of type, allowing them to poison Poison- and Steel-type Pokémon. However, Steel-type Pokémon are still immune to Poison-type damaging moves, so they can only be poisoned with status moves and non-Poison-type moves like Twineedle and Fling. A Steel-type opponent can be poisoned by G-Max Malodor in a Double Battle if the other opponent is targeted and the user's Ability is Corrosion.[1][2]
If a Poison- or Steel-type Pokémon with Corrosion holds a Toxic Orb, it will badly poison itself.
This Ability has no effect on Toxic Spikes. It does not allow the Pokémon with this Ability to poison a Pokémon with Immunity.
If the Pokémon with this Ability uses Magic Coat to reflect a status move that inflicts poison, the reflected move will be able to poison Steel or Poison-type Pokémon. If the Pokémon with this Ability uses a move, and that move gets reflected by the target due to Magic Coat or Magic Bounce, the reflected move will not be able to poison Steel- or Poison-type Pokémon. If a Poison- or Steel-type Pokémon with this Ability poisons a target with Synchronize, Synchronize will not be able to affect the Pokémon with this Ability.
Outside of battle
Corrosion has no effect outside of battle.
