In general, {{t|Steel}}- and {{type|Poison}} Pokémon cannot be poisoned. However, they can be poisoned by Pokémon with the {{a|Corrosion}} Ability. Additionally, in Generation II, the move {{m|Twineedle}} can poison Steel-type Pokémon. If a Pokémon's Steel or Fire type is changed through a {{cat|Moves that change a Pokémon's type|type-changing move}} like {{m|Soak}}, it is then poisoned and switched out (resetting to original type), the poison status will remain.

Pokémon with the {{a|Comatose}} Ability are completely immune to being poisoned. Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Leaf Guard}} will be protected from status conditions in {{weather|harsh sunlight}}. 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.
