Toxic

PoisonStatus

Toxic causes the target to be badly poisoned. Pokémon that are badly poisoned will lose an increasing amount of HP at the end of each turn. The affected Pokémon will lose 1⁄16 of its maximum HP at the end of the first turn, which then increases by 1⁄16 each turn. In other words, they lose 1⁄16, 1⁄8, 3⁄16, 1⁄4 and so on. If used by a Poison-type Pokémon, Toxic will always hit, even if the target is in the invulnerable stage of Bounce, Dig, Dive, Fly, Phantom Force, Shadow Force or Sky Drop. Toxic doesn't affect Pokémon already carrying a major status ailment, Pokémon behind a Substitute nor Poison- or Steel-type Pokémon.
