 {{MoveResearch|Check whether this line applies to both [[Pokémon Stadium (Japanese)]] and the international [[Pokémon Stadium]]: "In Pokémon Stadium, the '''N''' value of Toxic is reset by {{m|Rest}}."}}
-Toxic {{status|Badly poisoned|badly poisons}} the target, and has an accuracy of 85%. When the target takes damage from the poison, the damage done will be '''N''' * x, where '''N''' starts at 1 and x is <sup>1</sup>/<sub>16</sub> of the target's maximum HP (rounded down, but not less than 1). While a Pokémon is badly poisoned, '''N''' increases by 1 each time it takes either Toxic or {{m|Leech Seed}} damage (meaning it may increase twice per turn if a Pokémon is affected by both). When an afflicted Pokémon is affected by {{m|Haze}}, [[recall|switches out]], or when the battle ends, the Pokémon's poison status becomes regular poison.
+Toxic {{status|Badly poisoned|badly poisons}} the target, and has an accuracy of 85%. Toxic cannot affect Poison-type Pokémon.
-If a badly poisoned Pokémon successfully uses {{m|Rest}}, it will be cured of poison, but '''N''' is not reset; if it then suffers {{status|burn}}, {{m|Leech Seed}} or poison damage, that damage will still be calculated as '''N''' * x, and the '''N''' value will still increase by 1 each time (however, if the Pokémon is poisoned with Toxic, the '''N''' value will be reset to 1).
+When a Pokémon takes damage from bad poison, the damage done is '''N''' 16ths of the Pokémon's maximum HP (rounded down, but not less than 1), where '''N''' starts at 1 and increases each time it takes damage from poison or {{m|Leech Seed}} (meaning it may increase twice per turn if a Pokémon is affected by both). That is, the Pokémon takes damage equal to <math display="inline">N \times \left\lfloor {HP_{max} \over 16} \right\rfloor</math>.
-Toxic cannot affect Poison-type Pokémon.
+After the battle ends, bad poison becomes regular poison. If a badly poisoned Pokémon is affected by {{m|Haze}} or [[recall|switches out]], the Pokémon's poison status becomes regular poison. If a badly poisoned Pokémon successfully uses {{m|Rest}}, it will be cured of poison, but counter ('''N''') is not reset; if it subsequently suffers {{status|burn}}, {{m|Leech Seed}} or poison damage, that damage is still be calculated using the value of the counter ('''N'''), and the counter ('''N''') will still increase by 1 each time (but if the Pokémon is poisoned by Toxic, the counter is reset to 1).
-In Pokémon Stadium, the '''N''' value of Toxic is reset by {{m|Rest}}.
+In Pokémon Stadium, if bad poison is cured by {{m|Rest}}, the counter ('''N''') is reset.
 ===Generation II===
 Toxic cannot affect {{type|Steel}} Pokémon.
-Toxic no longer interacts with Leech Seed or Haze, and Rest now properly removes bad poison entirely. However, if a badly poisoned Pokémon uses {{m|Baton Pass}} or {{m|Heal Bell}}, '''N''' will not be reset. As a result, if the active Pokémon then suffers poison or burn damage, the damage will be calculated as '''N''' * x, and the '''N''' value will still increase by 1 each time (however, if the Pokémon is poisoned with Toxic, the '''N''' value will be reset to 1).
+Toxic and Haze no longer interact with Leech Seed. Rest now properly removes bad poison entirely (including resetting the counter).
+If a badly poisoned Pokémon uses {{m|Baton Pass}} or {{m|Heal Bell}}, the counter is not be reset (like using Rest in Generation I). As a result, if it subsequently suffers {{status|burn}} or poison damage, that damage is still be calculated as <math display="inline">N \times \left\lfloor {HP_{max} \over 16} \right\rfloor</math> using the value of the counter ('''N'''), and the counter ('''N''') will still increase by 1 each time (but if the Pokémon is poisoned by Toxic, the counter is reset to 1).
