Poisonous Pokemon Moves EXPLAINED!

Is there even a type of Pokémon that is bolder than the Poison, Dark, and Ghost type? Well, that didn't take long, but yeah, I guess so, but the poison is still pretty daring. The media often portrays thieves and murderers using daggers and poisoned vials as dark and evil. and in a way it's poisoning someone, it's rude, like you could just kill them here and now, but instead you poison them to make them suffer in their last moments, it's a disaster, but I guess it's also completely natural, there's so many

poisonous

and venomous insects and reptiles and even some mammals and birds and plants, oh god I was so allergic to poison oak as a child that I was hospitalized, it made my eyes and my esophagus close, nature is scary so, Honestly, if I got hit by a Pokémon move.

I'm pretty sure a poison-type move would be the last one I'd want to hit me, but hey, let's go ahead and explain all the poison-type

moves

in Pokémon, explain what they do, whether it's poison or not, and Just have fun, gather your antidotes and let's get started.

poisonous

things are things that are bad for you to eat or come into contact with.

Poison oak and ivy frogs secrete poison and you don't want to touch them. Poisonous ones have waxy leaves covered in Poison and you don't want to touch them. Tide pods, although excellent for cleaning, are poisonous when ingested. Heck, alcohol is technically a poison, but it's mild and humans happen to like the effect. Have you heard of iron or water poisoning? too much of either and you get very sick as it damages your body, many things can technically be considered a poison, it's all just a matter of what the dose is, so clearly poison dart frog venom is worse for ti than water, although both can still kill you now, I'm sure poison-type Pokémon are more along the lines of poison dart frogs and less along the lines of just a lot of water.

Let's start with the toxic movement thread. Let's look up the definition of toxic poison. Well, at least that's how it is. To the point, this is Arya Dose's signature move where she shoots poisonous webs around her opponent to slow them down and poison them. Spiders are one of the most well-known venomous animals, so having a signature venomous move is pretty cool. Although poison and venom are different things, we'll get to that when it comes to spiders, most of them have to actively bite you for their venom to work, while most of their webs are not poisonous at all, most of them they find each other. the clevipes triconfilla or smart peas, I will just call them banana spider because that is also what is known as banana spider, it is much easier to say while the banana spider weaves its web, it secretes a neurotoxin everywhere forming its web. technically poisonous when an insect touches the web they not only stay stuck to its stickiness but the poison eventually reaches their brain and shuts down their nervous system paralyzing them they are not wonderful spiders let's look at something docile and pleasant like plants with the poison moving dust, the user spreads a cloud of poisonous dust that poisons the target and looking at the Pokémon that learn this move, they are all grass type or they are insect type moths, we will get to that, but this move is essentially the poisonous plant move, generally speaking, plants.

They don't want their fruit eaten yes, they don't themselves, therefore several plants develop things like capsaicin spines and poison, most of the time the poison only acts if the plant is eaten like water hemlock and is absorbed by the stomach, which then activates the blood. into a neuromuscular junction toxin that will make you drunk until you die in just 15 minutes. It's scary, but that's what happens when the breathing and heartbeat signal from your brain can no longer reach the lungs or heart, as for the dust that probably refers to pollen. Pollen alone is functionally a kind of poison for those of us who have allergies, which alone would be enough to justify this move, but we can go deeper.

Some plants such as the pea plant and econotum will actively poison their own pollen if a bee comes in to drink their nectar, the poisonous powdered pollen falls on them and carries it back to their hive, spreading it throughout the hive, irritating the digestive tract. from bees and can be fatal if they have too much. Nectar production requires a lot of energy and some energy. Plants don't just want to share that whether they want to or not, so they have co-evolved to have pollen that is poisonous to certain species but not others, and is only poisonous if the bees get really greedy.

Even nature wants to kill bees, but how? about those moth Pokémon, well, it is already known that moths are covered in a kind of moth dust, therefore the dust accumulates, they are actually shedding the scales on their wings all the time and they also tend to hide in very dusty areas, so they are just covered in normal dust. besides their own scales falling off, but besides that, there are poisonous moths, stomach pains if you eat them and hives if you come into contact with them, so both plants and moths have this association with dusts and poisons and , therefore, moths and plant

pokemon

. they are the ones who should learn poisonous dust oh also ricin ricin exists it's terrible it's just a poisonous dust that destroys your lungs at a cellular level don't do it now dust isn't the only way poisons get airborne too there are poisonous gases so many wonderful gases so It's horrible and inhumane that using so many of them against enemy soldiers is considered a war crime, but I guess it's okay to use them on your own citizens.

Mustard gas, tear gas, chlorine, and then there is the silent killer, carbon monoxide, this gas is the most common type. of deadly air poisoning in most countries you can't see it you can't smell or taste it how wonderful is that oh and it's produced by burning fossil fuels how wonderful how it kills you with a dizzying headache that turns into seizures and bleeding eyeballs because the molecular composition of your blood is wrong, cool, but yes, this is a Pokémon move, a cloud of poisonous gas is forcefully expelled to poison the target, there are all kinds of different gases, how could it be, I'm sure which is different depending on the

pokemon

uses it as gallaria hissing carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide salacious probably hydrogen sulfide or sulfur dioxide those come from thermal vents and volcanoes skunk tank well those are just farts oh and I guess these gases too would explain the movement smog the target is attacked with a discharge of polluting gases this can also poison the target the smog usually has a much darker color, it is the beautiful haze that is seen over the main cities that are too afraid to use nuclear energy, which would solve all our energy and global warming problems while we wait for renewable energy. technology to advance further and looking at Pokémon that learn smog, there are a lot of fire types here that probably reference those vents and volcanoes again and I mean, the smog in these cities comes from burning fossil fuels, after all, so the fire type now soaks poison and Venoshock based on the names you would assume they are poisonous

moves

, not poisonous, but no, it is poison and guess what the most real poisonous moves are, the ones that actually have the word poison in its own name, it is not a game monster, just the best, both poison. drench and venoshock spray poisonous liquid all over the opponent, i mean even venom shock's description still has the word drench where they differ is in their gameplay venom drench reduces the attack, special attack and speed stats of a poisoned target and I come shock. doubles its power if the target is already poisoned, interestingly they both already have poisoned mechanics, what's up with that?

Well, if you have a poison in your body, you usually want an antidote and not more poison, that's what happens, the only thing worse than being poisoned is your body failing because there is more poison doing things like making it difficult for you to move your legs. muscles, which neurotoxins do which would certainly reduce your speed and attack and going into shock is a medical term that does a lot of damage to your body and of course, poison is capable of causing it, although usually only if there is a lot of it, so , venoshock is really bad and does a lot of damage now, actually they should be poison type moves, although the real definition of poison is poison. that's actively injected so actually all poison is poison but not all poison is poison it's all that so I guess most of them having the word poison in the name isn't bad it's a bit stupid because of those two moves that are named after poison. which aren't poison anyway, let's start with the poison sting, it's really the most apparent and obvious poison type move, there are insects that sting, sting, and generally defend themselves against things that are bigger than them, things that they They wouldn't stand a chance without the extra help. of being poisonous, it deters its attackers oh, you're going to fight me, you better watch out wasps ants scorpions all have poisonous stingers and they all contain chemicals that cause the nerves to fire, which essentially makes the sting much more painful than it really would be. otherwise I mean it's like an almost microscopic thumbtack is pricking you like yeah it hurts but it's like yeah but no now there's poison telling your nerves that this is the most intense pain possible and some of these Stings even have lingering side effects like dizziness. nausea, trouble breathing, but for the most part humans won't die from them and this is very similar to how poison works.

The target is stabbed with a tentacle arm or similar, poison leaks out. This can also poison the target. They have poisonous horns, so those horns are more or less like extra large stingers and they tend to be vicious. Well, jellyfish tentacles will ruin you just by brushing against a box. The jellyfish tentacle causes tissue necrosis, meaning the part of your body that touched it is literally dying quickly. on a cellular level and it spreads and is extremely painful and deadly and this Pokémon here is actively trying to poke you with it, that's why it's mean about the arm in that description, I'm sure it's for krogunk, the move was added to it time. it was and that's like everything hits you with its poisonous arms it's a poisonous frog that uses betrachotoxins to cause paralysis to the point of death it just prevents your heart from being able to move properly then poisonous fang another obvious one is snake fangs literally needles By injection, the most common snake venom causes numbness of the extremities, weakness, nausea and blurred vision, but can be as bad as unconsciousness and death.

The poisonous tail is interesting, one would think it would be referred to as gligar or skarupi, but it is not. naturally learns the move naturally of course i.e. by leveling up rather than through breeding or a trainer, the move is described when the user hits the target with their tail, this can also poison the target and that sounds verygeneric, so I guess this move could just be venomous or venomous depending on the user, the viper is definitely poisonous with its leaf tail, but hey, I guess its tail is covered in poisonous goo and now part of it is stuck You touched her, it's disgusting, it's poison, cross poison is a cut. attack that can also leave the target poisoned has a high critical hit ratio is actually just a scratch with sharp claws covered in poison is similar in concept to the projectile weapon gallary and slowbro's signature move now we know that slowbro and slowbro's shelder Sloaking is poisonous.

Several Pokedex entries mention that it releases toxins into them while biting. In theory, this is why slow is so smart, so in the case of this move it simply hits the opponent with its poisonous friend Shelder. The good thing is that this move can deal physical damage or special damage is based on which would be stronger when it's physical they just hit you with their toxic spikes but when it's special they shoot you with poison so I guess this is also poison or poison, it is only poisonous when the physical painful bunker is another poisonous signature move.

Time belonging to Toxopex Toxopex is based on the starfish's crown of thorns, which has super bad poison in its quills. It's a neurotoxin that causes intense, sharp pain that lasts for hours, like actively thinking about the pain of being stabbed, not just like oh, you're stabbed in that pain and now it hurts a little, but you know at least you're not being stabbed. actively, no, it's the initial stabbing pain, but always for hours and the pain itself is strong enough to cause nausea and vomiting just because the brain can't handle the pain, it's really painful and then toxic.

I'm not sure if I'd count this one as venomous or poisonous, or both, so it's a new category, I guess you could probably include some of the old ones. here too the category is kind to both, I mean the toxic move is so generic even in the name and many Pokémon learn it naturally and those who don't learn it naturally can learn it through all but 23 Pokémon before generation 8. are able to learn it through tm and if we don't count the ones that eventually evolve into Pokémon, who can learn it through tm, we are left with only six and all six have tricks that explain why this is worthy of a video . on its own, but I'm sure the idea is that any living thing can be potentially toxic, metaphorically speaking and I literally mean we all poop, we all have bacteria in and on us, we all spread germs by coughing and sneezing, all of these These are things that other sick people can do, hell, did you know that deep tissue human bites are potentially lethal, we are not poisonous, we just have all kinds of nasty viruses and bacteria in our mouths that infect our victims?

Fun fact I discovered while researching this, did you know that 20 percent of all bite-related injuries reported in Germany are to humans. What are you doing there? Cat claws are another good example. Cats aren't poisonous, but their claws can be covered in all kinds of nasty germs. When they bury their droppings, they get dirt and poop everywhere and that's why cat scratch fever exists, so yes, almost anything can be toxic, except medical robots, punching bags and cosmic horrors, so, With Toxic Spikes, the user places a trap of poisonous spikes at the opponent's feet. team, the spikes will poison opposing Pokémon that enter battle, they are just the movement spikes, but they are extra spicy.

The user could be scattering a pile of old stingers on the ground or, like detached antlers, a bed of thorns. The poisonous spines are poisonous and pierce the skin. but do they actively inject their venom, making it poisonous? Know? But also, since Garbodor can learn this move, maybe it's generic in nature. I'm sure Garbodor just spews out a bunch of disgusting, sharp garbage that can cause things like tetanus or simple bacteria. infection and speaking of garbodor, new category, time that is nasty with gunshots, the user shoots dirty trash at the target to attack, I mean that is self explanatory and in the anime it has only been used by garbodor and look at this , it's like shiny garbage. bag in the games looks like something like gross, gooey, gooey bubbles, but then I love the gen 6 animation because it literally throws a metal trash can that clearly hurts and the trash often has rotting food bits or sharp center pieces and rusty, used handkerchiefs. waste, you know, things that will make you sick, now there are three mud moves, mud pump and mud wave, and they are also self explanatory. throws a bunch of stuff in and the sludge bomb does the same but so much that it explodes on them it's gross but at least it's not gmax bad smell gigantomax garbodor's signature move garbota in this size is a living garbage dump and it's just leaking garbage juice on you and then spawns geysers go to the roast even just doing that with water would hurt and this is garbage water filled to the brim with germs and then with the burp the user lets out a damaging burp towards the target the user .

We must eat a retained berry to use this movement, sometimes when we eat we swallow air, that air needs to go back up and that is why we burp, but if we are digesting certain foods well, that air was only in the stomach accumulating rotten odors, which HE. my wife hates when I eat pork chops, burps are the worst and in Pokémon that smell can be harmful especially if the burper's stomach is already full of poisonous things because they are poison type or because they are like snorlax that can only eat. poison and be fine, but speaking of the stomach, new category, acid is acid, poison, I didn't have to think too much about it, yes it causes irritation and damage upon contact or ingestion, acid burns are no joke, acid spray and the gastro acid are all similar movements.

In concept, the user spews their stomach acids on the enemy, the user spits out a fluid that works to melt the target. Opposing Pokémon are attacked with a spray of strong acid, while Gastro Acid is clearly Stomach Acid in the name and description, the other two could be as well. A regular type of acid sprays that numerous animals are capable of making, such as wood-spitting cobra ants and bombardier beetles, to explain why acids burn and melt things would take forever, so here's a super brief summary and simple. Most acids are proton donors and will get into anything. they are melting down at a molecular level, giving them protons that break their own bonds, they just force themselves in there and then evaporate or dissolve after the damage is done, they just go in to do as much damage as possible to the molecular unit before rudely getting up and out . and it's clear to see why these moves damage, their side effects are interesting, although acid does reduce defense, as mini acids are used to dissolve metal or bone quickly, so they simply melt the enemy's defensive layer, acid spray reduces special defense, special defense is a kind of mental defense, but it also has some physical properties, it's a little complicated when you really start trying to quantify it, but I know if parts of me were actively burning I'd be pretty distraught Mentally, they no longer want to deal with these stupid ants and The Gastro Acid removes the effect of the enemy's ability.

There is a strange one. I guess sometimes it makes sense. The ability. Battle armor. Now it's melted. Corrosive gas is also acidic, but in gaseous form, it is an itchy anus. The user surrounds everything around him with a highly acidic gas and melts the objects he is holding, as mentioned above. There are poisonous gases and some of them are poisonous because of how acidic they are. like hydrogen sulfide and even carbon dioxide technically so acid downpour also known as acid poison removal in japanese this is the z poison type move the user creates a poison swamp using their z power and plunges the target into it with full force the description says poisonous swamp and the swamps are quite disgusting and poisonous and cause diseases, but the name and animation say acid rain, remember those volcanoes that release poisonous gases when it rains, the water traps those gases and the rain becomes acidic, it causes a lot of damage everywhere and It's generally not a good day to walk the dog, so with the z power they make acid rain and a puddle of acid and then dunk their opponent in said puddle as if they were trying to dissolve a murdered corpse in a tub except they just pass out and are fine i should have used max ooze the generic dynamax move type poison in japanese its name is acid dye so this liquid is an acid exudate and it just does what acid does , but there is a lot more because it is a great new category. pukamuku or I guess another because this move doesn't fit into any of the other categories.

This category has the purify movement exclusively in it. Purify is the signature move of pukamuku, the forceful sea cucumber, using it causes it to heal the non-volatile status condition of another Pokémon, such as being poisoned and healing half of its own hp, sea cucumbers are quite resistant and poisonous , have holothurin which causes extreme weakness and permanent blindness. Lovely, but that doesn't explain this move, a poisonous move that heals well, it could be seen as a reference to how humans have used poisons and venoms to make all sorts of treatments and cures for things. Heck, now scorpion venom is being used to treat brain cancer, so yes, you can use venom to cure, it's science, it's cool, but why would sucking someone else's paralysis heal?

You thought, well, some say that eating sea cucumbers has health benefits. The non-toxic ones, of course, eating them can help speed up the healing of your wounds and make you healthier in general thanks to their neuroprotective, anti-tumor, anticoagulant, antimicrobial and antioxidant effects. that's just a list of things that want to kill you, huh, so maybe there's something there, but maybe more specifically this move is magically manifesting one of the sea cucumber's main abilities into an attack, to quote cucumbers of sea from National Geographic, they are the purifying species for the ocean see, they even use the word purification, they feed on food scraps, the creatures spend their lives inhaling salt water and expelling clear liquids and sediments in many areas, their depletion has led to muddier, more polluted coastal waters, so clearly they literally clean the disgusting filth out of the water by eating it and eating it in video games, Pokémon included, tends to be the way to cure yourself because that's literally how it works, so it's sucking all the bad things out of the target, purifying it and healing itself.

Now the final category is incredible. Poison-type Pokémon moves that in my opinion really shouldn't be poison-type anyway and there are only three, no, shouldn't all poison moves be? Because poison and poison are different and the first move is acidic armor, you would think it's acidic, so yeah, acidic. It is poison, but there is inherently no acid involved in the movement. The Japanese name of the move is simply liquefy, the user even alters their cellular structure to liquefy, drastically increasing their defense stat and I assume the acid is capable of altering cellular structure because that's what it is. which it does, but it's not inherently necessary and normally acid removes things, so all other acid moves lower defense and if you look at the Pokémon that learned this move, most of them are already slimy alchemy, melted whipped cream, quicksilver cryogonal and vanilla.

We are literally ice vaporeon and Theon can practically melt into water. Mud is mud, so I guess the original intention here is that everyone is actively making their bodies more like liquids because it's harder to damage liquids compared to solids, i.e. go for punching. a little water and see what you do to it. I guess this move is poison type because when the move was first done it was basically muk's signature move, although vaporeon was able to learn it too, although he has crazy cell structure powers so it's kind of the same reason why. than retreat is the water type going into your shell to defend yourself, it's not inherently water at all, but all the Pokémon that knew the move in generation 1 were water type, so do the water type move too, there you got it, that's what they did, but with poison then clear the smog the smog is absolutely poisonous but the act of removing it would add more smog to the air to remove the smog that is already there.

Islike most antidotes they are made of poison, but it's air pollution, wait, it's not. even smog the description says that the user attacks the target by throwing a bunch of special mud all stat changes return to normal yes, mud is disgusting and disgusting, I guess there are germs, mud is found in swamps, swamps are full of diseases, I don't know. but this move is harmful like poison if the opponent gets a buff because it makes all of their high stats go down and back to normal, but if their stats have gone down this move helps them.

I guess most medicines can turn into poison if you have too much. It's, uh, it just doesn't feel right, but I'll put that down to acting. If you don't like this move in the knotting category, just pretend it's in the other category, however, this last move I really don't think you can. Argue for being a poison type, the movement is like a spiral with retreat that has nothing to do with water. The spiral has nothing to do with poison. Sure leeches, snakes and centipedes are poisonous and capable of coiling, but freaking out, this ferret can coil too, so what's the move.

The effect is fine, although the user curls up and concentrates, this increases his attack and defense stats as well as his accuracy. It's like what cobras do when they prepare to attack: they first adopt a defensive posture by curling around themselves and then raise their heads ready to strike and attack. accurately so yes the move has an association with a poisonous creature but the move itself is not poisonous at all so it shouldn't be the poison type and that was the video oh and uh remember all Those things I said.
