Toxic Stress (skill)

Toxic Stress どくがさね
Poison Stack
Skill
Increases damage when it is triggered in a row.

Toxic Stress (Japanese: どくがさね Poison Stack) is a skill in Pokémon Shuffle.

Effect

Each successful activation of this skill increases its streak count by 1.

The damage of the initial match is then boosted, with the multiplier depending on the streak count:

Streak count 1 2 3+
Damage ×1.5 ×2 ×3

The streak will break and reset to 0 if any of the following occurs:

  • This skill fails to activate.
  • A Pokémon with a different skill is matched at the start of a combo (regardless of whether that skill succeeds).

However, the following will not break the streak:

  • Matching a Mega Evolved Pokémon at the start of a combo.
  • Matching Coins at the start of a combo.

Other damage multipliers, such as those based on match size, combo count, or status conditions, are applied as usual. See Pokémon Shuffle → Damage for more details.

Skill level growth

Increasing skill level will increase the activation rate.
