The '''poison''' condition (PSN) (Japanese: '''どく''' ''poison'') is a non-volatile [[status condition]] found in the Pokémon games, it causes a Pokémon to lose HP at the end of every turn, as well as outside of battle prior to [[Generation V]]. It can be caused by several moves most of which are {{type|Poison}}, and some Abilities. Poison and {{type|Steel}} Pokémon are immune to being poisoned, making it the only non-volatile status condition to be ineffective against more than one type; however, in Generation II, Steel-type Pokémon can be poisoned by {{m|Twineedle}}. | The '''poison''' condition (PSN) (Japanese: '''どく''' ''poison'') is a non-volatile [[status condition]] found in the Pokémon games, it causes a Pokémon to lose HP at the end of every turn, as well as outside of battle prior to [[Generation V]].

Along with the poison status, a Pokémon can also be '''badly poisoned''' (Japanese: '''もうどく''' ''deadly poison''); the effects are similar to poison but instead of having a set amount of damage dealt each turn, badly poisoned Pokémon will receive increasing amounts of damage each turn. | Along with the poison status, a Pokémon can also be '''badly poisoned''' (Japanese: '''もうどく''' ''deadly poison''); the effects are similar to poison but instead of having a set amount of damage dealt each turn, badly poisoned Pokémon will receive increasing amounts of damage each turn.

In the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}}, Poisoned is one of the five | In the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}}, Poisoned is one of the five Special Conditions along with Asleep, Burned, Confused, and Paralyzed. When a Pokémon is Poisoned, a poison counter is placed on it and one damage counter is put on the Pokémon in between each turn. Some attacks require the player to put two, three, or even four damage counters on a Pokémon between turns, instead of the normal one. The condition can be removed by returning the affected Pokémon to the Bench or by evolving it. Unlike the Pokémon games, a Pokémon can be afflicted with more than one Special Condition at once; however, some Special Conditions will erase ones already present. | ||
