 The poison condition (PSN) causes a Pokémon to lose 1/8 of its maximum hit points every turn (in [[Generation I]], it loses 1/16). Normally {{t|Steel}}- and {{type|Poison}} Pokémon and Pokémon with the {{a|Immunity}} Ability cannot be poisoned; however, if a Pokémon is poisoned then has its type changed to Steel or Poison or its Ability changed to Immunity, the poison will remain. In addition, in Generation II, Steel-type Pokémon can be poisoned by {{m|Twineedle}}. A Pokémon with the {{a|Poison Heal}} Ability will gradually recover health instead when poisoned.
-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 condition)|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.
+Prior to [[Generation V]], 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 (while in previous generations its HP would reduce to zero, causing it to faint). All {{DL|Poison (status condition)|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.
