If a Pokémon with this Ability uses a move that makes contact, there is a 30% chance the target will be {{status|poison}}ed. In Japanese versions of Black and White, there is instead a 20% chance.

The chance of being poisoned is based off the game that activated the effect. Since effects are generated client side (the game who "uses" a skill) first and then sent to the opposing player, in a battle where with a Japanese version vs. a non-Japanese, the Japanese player will still have only a 20% chance to poison, while the non-Japanese game will have the 30% chance to poison. This only applies to Generation V, since Generation VI has the same chance to poison regardless of the game's origin.
