Poison-type Pokémon are immune to being {{status|poison}}ed (except by a Pokémon with {{a|Corrosion}}), and a [[grounded]] Poison-type Pokémon automatically removes Toxic Spikes on its side when it switches in. Although the majority of non-Poison types are able to learn Toxic, as of [[Generation VI]], when a Poison-type uses the move, it cannot miss, bypassing accuracy checks and semi-invulnerable turns from moves such as {{m|Fly}} and {{m|Dig}}.
