The Poison-type is one of the elemental types in the Pokémon franchise, known for its ability to inflict status conditions on opponents. Pokémon of this type often use moves that can poison, weaken, or damage foes over time. They are typically associated with toxic substances, such as venom and pollutants. In battles, Poison-type Pokémon are strong against Fairy and Grass types but weak against Ground, Psychic, and Steel types. Many Poison-type Pokémon also have dual types, which can enhance their abilities and strategies in combat. Examples include Bulbasaur and Gengar.
