Status condition: Difference between revisions

A poisoned Pokémon also loses 1 hit point for every four steps taken while not in battle. In [[Generation IV]], a Pokémon whose HP is reduced to 1 via poison outside of battle will have the poison status removed. In [[Generation V]], no HP is lost outside of battle, making it similar to a burn but without the attack reduction. All {{DL|Poison (status ailment)|Moves|moves which can poison}} are of the Poison-type except {{m|Twineedle}}, {{m|Secret Power}}, and {{m|Fling}} (which poisons only if {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Poison Barb}} is held). In Generation V, Pokémon glow purple when afflicted with poison.

The badly poisoned condition is caused by {{m|Toxic}} and {{m|Poison Fang}}, as well as by {{m|Toxic Spikes}} after it is used twice. It is the same as Poison except its damage begins at 1/16 and grows an additional 1/16 every turn, taking 2/16 max hit points the second turn, then 3/16 the third turn, and 4/16 the fourth, and so on. In [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]], switching a Pokémon out of active battle would change the badly poisoned condition to normal poison. In [[Generation III]] and beyond, the "badly poisoned" effect will remain even after switching a Pokémon out of battle and back in, but the damage counter will be reset. After a battle is over, the "badly poisoned" status will become a normal poison. All {{DL|Poison (status ailment)|Moves that badly poison|moves which can badly poison}} are of the Poison-type except {{m|Fling}} (which badly poisons only if {{DL|In-battle effect item|Toxic Orb}} is held). In Generation V, Pokémon glow purple when afflicted with bad poison.
