Toxic (Japanese: どくどく Excessive Poison) is a non-damaging Poison-type move introduced in Generation I. It was TM06 from Generation I to Generation VII, and TM27 in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!.

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 this on the talk page.

Generation I

Toxic badly poisons the target, and has an accuracy of 85%. When the target takes damage from the poison, the damage done will be N * x, where N starts at 1 and x is 1/ 16 of the target's maximum HP (rounded down, but not less than 1). While a Pokémon is badly poisoned, N increases by 1 each time it takes either Toxic or Leech Seed damage (meaning it may increase twice per turn if a Pokémon is affected by both). When an afflicted Pokémon is affected by Haze, switches out, or when the battle ends, the Pokémon's poison status becomes regular poison.

If a badly poisoned Pokémon successfully uses Rest, it will be cured of poison, but N is not reset; if it then suffers burn, Leech Seed or poison damage, that damage will still be calculated as N * x, and the N value will still increase by 1 each time (however, if the Pokémon is poisoned with Toxic, the N value will be reset to 1).

In Pokémon Stadium, the N value of Toxic is reset by Rest.

Generation II

Toxic cannot affect Steel-type Pokémon.

Toxic no longer interacts with Leech Seed or Haze, and Rest now properly removes bad poison entirely. However, if a badly poisoned Pokémon uses Baton Pass or Heal Bell, N will not be reset. As a result, if the active Pokémon then suffers poison or burn damage, the damage will be calculated as N * x, and the N value will still increase by 1 each time (however, if the Pokémon is poisoned with Toxic, the N value will be reset to 1).

Generations III to 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.

Generation V

Toxic now has an accuracy of 90.

Generation VI onward

Toxic will never miss if used by a Poison-type Pokémon, even if the target is in the semi-invulnerable turn of a move such as Fly or Dig.

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, it will instantly become normal poison.
