Toxic Spikes (Japanese: どくびし Toxic Spikes) is a non-damaging Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation IV.
Effect
Toxic Spikes sets poisonous spikes around the target Pokémon. One layer of Toxic Spikes causes opposing Pokémon to acquire the Poison status ailment upon switching in, while two layers of Toxic Spikes causes opposing Pokémon to become badly poisoned.
Toxic Spikes has no effect against Template:Type2, Template:Type2, Template:Type2 Pokémon or Pokémon with the ability Immunity, Levitate, or Magic Guard. If a Poison-type Pokémon that is not also a Flying-type or have the ability Levitate is switched in, it will absorb Toxic Spikes and the effect of Toxic Spikes will end. Also, if a Poison-type Pokémon holding the item Iron Ball or switching in while Gravity is in effect that is also a Flying-type or has the ability Levitate is switched in, it will absorb Toxic Spikes. Flying and Levitating Pokémon are affected under Gravity, while holding Iron Ball, or if Baton Passed an Ingrain. The moves Rapid Spin and Defog remove the effect of Toxic Spikes; Rapid Spin removes Toxic Spikes set around the Rapid Spinner while Defog removes Toxic Spikes set around the target of Defog. Toxic Spikes does not activate the ability Synchronize unless a Pokémon on the field directly causes the Synchronizing Pokémon to switch in, such as by using the moves Roar or Whirlwind.

Toxic Spikes can now be reflected with Magic Coat.

User | First Used In | Notes | |
Drapion opens its mouth and a dark purple orb forms inside it. It then fires the ball into the air, which spirals and releases four small streams of purple smoke from the top of the ball. The orb then explodes, forming into multiple smaller orbs that fall and sink into the battlefield. The smaller orbs leave trails of purple smoke behind them as they fall. Any Pokémon that steps on the battlefield besides the user, their body becomes surrounded by purple static and purple waves and indigo bubbles rise from the ground over the opponent's body, damaging them. | |||
