Effect

In battle

	This Ability effect may be in need of research. Reason: Check for effects of Trace, Receiver, Lingering Aroma, Neutralizing Gas. Does it work when used by a Pokémon transformed into Pecharunt? You can discuss this on the talk page.

When a Pokémon is poisoned by any of Pecharunt's moves, it will also become confused. Poison induced by Toxic Spikes does not activate Poison Puppeteer.

Poison Puppeteer does not activate if the user is not Pecharunt. Skill Swap fails if either Pokémon has Poison Puppeteer. Poison Puppeteer cannot be copied by Power of Alchemy.

Outside of battle

Poison Puppeteer has no effect outside of battle.
