Poison (status condition): Difference between revisions

Whether a Pokémon is poisoned or badly poisoned, prevention and curing remain unchanged. Items and Berries that solely cure poisoning include [[Antidote]], [[PSNCureBerry]] ([[Generation II]] only), [[Drash Berry]] ([[Generation III]] only) and [[Pecha Berry]]. Items and Berries that cure poison as well as other status ailments include [[Full Heal]], [[Lava Cookie]], [[Full Restore]], [[Old Gateau]], [[Heal Powder]], [[Lum Berry]], [[Miracle Berry]] (Generation II only), [[Casteliacone]] and [[Sacred Ash]]. Moves can also be used to prevent or cure poisoning; {{m|Safeguard}} will prevent the user's team from being afflicted by any status ailment for five turns and a Pokémon behind a {{m|substitute}} cannot be poisoned (other than holding a Toxic Orb). Moves that can be used to cure poisoning are: {{m|Refresh}}, {{m|Rest}}, {{m|Psycho Shift}}{{tt|*|Inflicts target this user's status ailment}}, {{m|Heal Bell}} and {{m|Aromatherapy}}. Poisoning can be prevented with the Abilities {{a|Immunity}} and {{a|Leaf Guard}}{{tt|*|Only in intense sunlight}}, and can be cured by {{a|Hydration}}{{tt|*|Only in heavy rain}} and {{a|Shed Skin}}{{tt|*|Has a 30% chance of curing a status ailment each turn}}. {{a|Natural Cure}} will cure the user of any status ailment upon switching out, and {{a|Healer}} has a 30% chance of healing allies of status ailments in [[Double Battle]]s and [[Triple Battle]]s. The Ability {{a|Magic Guard}} will prevent damage due to poison from being taken in battle; however, it does not prevent the damage from being taken outside of battle.
