===Pokémon Conquest===
Like the main series, a Pokémon inflicted with poison is protected from other status conditions and does not wear off over time. It can be inflicted by attacks, abilities, or by a Pokémon ending their turn in a poison bog, but as in the main series, Steel-types are immune to poison and all methods that would inflict it. Poison can be cured through certain [[Warrior Skill]]s, items, or by ending a Pokémon's turn in a hot spring or a water bucket.
Like the main series, a Pokémon inflicted with poison is protected from other status conditions and does not wear off over time. Normal poison can be inflicted by attacks, abilities, or by a Pokémon ending their turn in a poison bog. Bad poison can only be inflicted by the effect of Poison Fang. As in the main series, Poison- and Steel-types are immune to poison. Poison can be cured through certain [[Warrior Skill]]s, items, or by ending a Pokémon's turn in a hot spring or a water bucket.


Pokémon afflicted with poison lose 1/8th their max HP, rounded down, at the end of their side's turn, even if the poisoned Pokémon itself took no action. Enemy Warriors defeated through poison damage are not treated as being defeated by the player, and thus cannot be recruited after the battle.
Pokémon afflicted with normal poison lose 1/8th their max HP, rounded down, at the end of their side's turn, even if the poisoned Pokémon itself took no action. Pokémon afflicted with bad poisoning lose 1/16th of their max HP initially, with damage increasing by 1/16 at the end of their side's turn. Enemy Warriors defeated through poison damage are not treated as being defeated by the player, and thus cannot be recruited after the battle.

In the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}}, Poisoned is one of the five [[Special Condition]]s 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.
