Line 16: Line 19:
If a Pokémon with this Ability uses a move that makes [[contact]], there is a 30% chance the target will become {{status|poison}}ed. In Japanese versions of {{game|Black and White|s}}, this is a 20% chance instead.

This chance applies independently of any moves that may have a chance to poison the target with their own effect. If the attack's target holds a {{cat|status-restoring Berries|status condition-curing Berry}}, it is possible for a move's natural effect to inflict a non-volatile [[status condition]] which the target's held item will then cure, only for the target to then be poisoned by Poison Touch. Poison Touch's chances also apply independently for each hit of a [[multi-strike move]].

Poison Touch can poison a target hit by {{m|Dragon Tail}} or {{m|Circle Throw}}. Poison Touch can also poison a target with {{a|Mummy}} before Mummy overwrites Poison Touch. {{type|Poison}} or {{type|Steel}} Pokémon and Pokémon with {{a|Immunity}} or {{a|Shield Dust}} cannot become poisoned by Poison Touch, though the last two can be poisoned if the contact-making move is {{m|Sunsteel Strike}}.
Poison Touch can poison a target hit by {{m|Dragon Tail}} or {{m|Circle Throw}}. Poison Touch can poison a target with {{a|Mummy}} before Mummy overwrites Poison Touch. Pokémon with {{a|Immunity}}, {{a|Shield Dust}}, or (during [[harsh sunlight]]) {{a|Leaf Guard}} cannot be poisoned by Poison Touch, unless the contact-making move is {{m|Sunsteel Strike}}.


In a link battle including a Japanese version of Pokémon Black or White and a non-Japanese version or [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], the chance to poison is determined by the game of the player with the Pokémon with the Ability Poison Touch. As such, a Pokémon with Poison Touch owned by the player of a Japanese version of Pokémon Black or White will have a 20% chance to poison, whereas players of Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 and non-Japanese versions of Pokémon Black and White will have a 30% chance.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* The Japanese name of Poison Touch, どくしゅ (毒手) ''Dokushu'', is a pun containing the kanji for "poison" (毒).
* This Ability's Japanese, Korean, and Chinese names are a pun; 毒手 ''Dokushu'' is a figure of speech meaning [[wiktionary:毒手|treachery or an underhanded scheme]], but the individual characters 毒 and 手 literally mean "poison" and "hand/touch", respectively.
