Defensively, Poison is one of the better types to use. It's only common weakness is {{m|Earthquake}}, as the usage of Psychic-type moves dwindled greatly in [[Generation IV]], and even that weakness is easily solved by the many Bug/Poison and Grass/Poison type-combinations in the game, as well as the part-{{t|Flying}} Crobat and {{p|Weezing}} and {{p|Gengar}}, who both hold the {{a|Levitate}} trait. On the other hand, it resists itself, Bug, Fighting and Grass, giving it many common resistances, such as {{m|Aura Sphere}}, {{m|Megahorn}} and {{M|Close Combat}}. Moreso, Poison-types tend to hold great status and support moves, such as {{m|Haze}}, {{m|Toxic Spikes}}, {{m|Will-o-Wisp}} and most of all, {{m|Toxic}}. They are also immune to Poison and Toxic Spikes themselfs, giving them an oppertunity to absorb statuses as well. Therefore, Koga words of "confusion, sleep, poison" describe the Poison-type very well. | Defensively, Poison is one of the better types to use.

Offensively, though, Poison is likely the worst of all types. It is only super-effective against one type, Grass, of which many are also Poison-type, making them neutral to Posion. | Offensively, though, Poison is likely the worst of all types. It is only super-effective against one type, Grass, of which many are also Poison-type, making them neutral to Posion. Countering the Grass-type, Ice and Fire are much more useful. Also, many Pokémon weak to Poison are also weak to {{t|Flying}}. On the other hand, Poison moves are not very effective to Poison, Rock, Ghost, Ground, and Steel is impervious to it, as well as being poisoned, making resistance to Poison far more common than weaknesses to it. | ||
