In the core-series games of Generation III, since poisoned Pokémon that knocked out the opponent takes poison damage after the trainer sends out a new Pokémon, it is possible to avoid the damage by switching out (if Shift is active) and if the battle is a Solo Battle.
From Gen IV onwards, the poison damage will never be skipped as a poisoned Pokémon will take damage before the trainer sends out a new Pokémon

* In the [[Generation III]] core-series games, since a poisoned Pokémon takes damage after the trainer sends out a new Pokémon, it is possible to avoid poison damage by switching out. This only works on Solo Battles and if the Shift mode is activated. This was also the case for [[Burn]]. In [[Generation IV]] onwards, this was fixed, and a poisoned Pokémon now takes poison (or [[Burn]]) damage before the trainer sends out a new Pokémon.
