★ Toxic to the Touch ★ Poison Type Fan Club

I adore Poison-types so I'd love to join, please! I'll pick and as my partners; my two favourite Poison-types.

I'll only answer one topic for now and save some for later, so I'll explain why I choose these two as my favourites! Honestly I love the huge majority of Poison types, hence my old Poison club, but these two have always shone out about the rest for me.. I adore the way Grimer is able to mould his body around attacks and absorb any physical attack like it's nothing, whilst all the while being able to deliver hit after hit after hit of power and poison back at the opponent. I've loved Grimer ever since the summer school episode of the DP anime where Dawn was given one to use - it was the posing and this moment sold it for me:


As for Foongus, I've never used one and don't really want to because it would almost certainly spoil it for me when I realise I hate its play style, but it's just so damn cute :D

I guess I'll join! I have always found Poison types interesting so for that reason I am happy to sign up!

I'll use Crobat as my partner Pokemon as it has always been my favorite Poison type.


I'll answer the topic about which is my favorite for now. Crobat is and always had been my favorite Poison type due to it's great design, nearly unmatched speed, good defensive typing, vast movepool, and great attack. He is such a good Pokemon not only in-game, but in competitive as well. He can outspeed you and do some serious damage, or whirlwind away your stat boosts. I also like how he is part of a friendship evolution which requires you to have a more special bond with him as a trainer which is really cool. So overall Crobat takes the spot as my favorite!

I'll pick Muk and Scolipede as my 2 partners.



Roxie is my favorite Poison-type Gym Leader. She only used 3 Poison-types in the anime (Koffing, Scolipede and Garbodor) against 6 of Ash's Pokémon and easily took out most of them. She rocks, and knows how to use Poison-type Pokémon to their full potential.

I'll also go ahead and say that Muk is my favorite Poison-type Pokémon. Everything about him screams poison. He can learn a wide variety of Poison moves (Poison Gas, Sludge, Sludge Bomb, Acid Armor, Sludge Wave, Gunk Shot, Acid Spray, Toxic, Venoshock and Poison Jab). His footprints also contain poison. Can't get any more deadlier than that.

Thanks for joining guys! I'm very glad people share my love of Poison Types! :D

CloysterOyster, here is a creepy fact I have found on the web:




Creepy, but Muk and Grimer are still great!

And Roxie is freaken awesome! She is my idol! I am like her in so many ways! :D

YEAH POISON TYPES

I'll join! My favourite poison-type Pokemon is easily Stunky, so I'll be taking that on board as a partner! As for why I like Stunky, I'm not exactly sure. After Ozzy mentioning that its face looked like a butt, I was slightly disturbed but I still love the fuzzball! Despite skunks having the smell of something that rolled around in a dumpster and then proceeded to wash the smell off in the depths of a sewer, their skills for survival are inspiring! Skunks are actually one of my favourite animals and while some of them are far from cute, I just admire them. Their way of defending themselves make them feared animals and they're just strong and independent! When I was younger, while other second grade kids wrote about liking cats and dogs, I wrote about ferrets, skunks, birds and pterodactyls. Stunky is just great in every single way. I actually find it quite cute and its a powerhouse to use in battle with a unique typing. Some other of my favourites include Haunter, Venusaur, Gulpin, Croagunk, Nidoqueen and a lot more!

And now its time to answer the other topics. Ready for a word adventure? No? Too bad, you're getting one anyway.

Which generation of Pokemon had the best poison-types?

Hm that's a good question actually. I'm gonna go with the original generation! They had a huge amount of poison-types compared to the others and they were all fantastic. Jellyfish, bees, bats, bugs, all sorts of things! I really liked all of them and some of my favourite poison-types are amongst them. Nidoqueen, Vileplume etc. They're all amazing and I could easily do a poison monotype in either R/B/Y or FR/LG since there's such a huge variety of powerhouses. :D


Least favourite poison-type?

There is one poison-type that has bugged me the most and its not Zubat. Venonat. The eyes just freak me out, it has a rubbish design, I find it intimidating, I don't like anything about it. Just incredibly awful. The access to various status moves also makes it a pain in the butt to face. I'm just overall not a big fan of that Pokemon. Venomoth had a better design but I'm still not totally in love with this strange evolution family. If someone can convince me why this thing is so great, I might listen but I'm still creeped out by it. :(

Who is your favourite poison-type specialist?

Roxie! She's so enthusiastic and hyped, that it's fun to battle her. Plus having a tough kid gym leader was nice for a change. She doesn't go easy on just about anyone and she can be stern! Also rocking out on a guitar and having her own band? She's just one of my favourite characters in any mainseries game. Also being courageous is a nice trait. Roxie is one cool cat. (:

Okay, Narnia! You have been accepted! ^^ And I totally agree, Venonat is just... plain ugly! xD

That school story sounds fun! :P And yeah, I am more interested in the animals with unique attributes then something everyday and normal. I still adore puppies though! :D

Do want to join! Hope these 2 are okay.



Poison Pokemon don't get enough love but the majority of them are just plain awesome! I love the snakes especially. By the way we need a legendary (that isn't Arceus).

The first-gen poison types are without a doubt my favorites; I could make a team entirely of them in Blue. I use Victreebel and Gengar every time anyway, haha. Of course, I indulged heavily in Seviper and Scolipede as generations progressed.

My favorite? Probably Victreebel as it's my favorite grass type. I use it every time I play Blue, and it was my favorite of Team Rocket's in the show =P If we're going pure though, it's Muk. All day. Best friend in Stadium.

Least favorite is... Spinarak? Wow, I actually don't really have problems with any of them; I'm looking at the list xD Looks like Spinarak has to be the scapegoat as it's the one I like the least, I guess.

For the specialist, I'm going with Roxie. I'm kinda a metalhead (gonna learn bass as soon as I get the cash for one) and who doesn't love Koffing!?

Welcome to the Club, Darkfool! :D Glad to have you here.

I totally agree! We should have a Poison Legendary! Don't tell anyone, but I hear there is one in X/Y which is evil and it is carried in Celtic folklore. That artical seemed pretty solid to me. :P

Victreebel and Gengar seem fine to me! But watch out! Wouldn't want him to impersonate your shadow. xD

YAY! Another Roxie fan! As you may see, I am a huge fan of her, she is rocking it day and night! Like me. ^^

Learning the bass you say? Well, I plan to get my own Electric Guitar one day, then I can go solo and play Short Stack. :D

Gengar is certainly a very powerful Pokemon isn't he. He has been a staple in OU play due to his amazing speed, great movepool, strong Sp.Attack, and ability to play a role as a spin blocker. He gets 2 very powerful STAB moves in Sludge Bomb and Shadow Ball to help him perform the role of a special sweeper. His biggest downfall though is his terrible defenses. He is taken down very easily unfortunately. However he is certainly a cool choice as a favorite Poison Pokemon!


Also welcome to the club :D

Thanks Feeling Great To Be Here

Okay then! You are now a member! Congrats. ^^

Semi-Contradictory to my username, I'm gonna (try to) join this club before I further contemplate the club representing Electric types.

If Rozu is okay with it, I would like to have one pokemon and leave an empty slot for later down the line. Why? Gen VI seems to be full of more and more 'interesting' type combinations, and if somewhere down the line in either Kalos or some other region a Poison/Electric type crops-up I would like to add it. That out of the way my first(And perhaps only) pick is Nidoking(Will edit when I have more posts to add his sprite here), he might be kinda sluggish, he might be over-used, and he might be shorter than me (Nidoking's Ht. 4'07 ... o.o), but over the years I've grown to love this guy, I'm not really TOO picky between it and Nidoqueen(Raising a Nidorina to lv 53 before I use a moon stone, thanks to Randomizer), but for whatever reason I just prefer this guy(Must be the speed and offense). Being a jack-of-all-trades stat-wise with a wide n' eccentric (Not to mention viable)movepool for almost anything in it's path, unique typing(For now), and lack of 4x weakness(Major deal breaker with me, usually) I just can't help but like the big guy.

The Poison Type Love is really weird for me, because for some reason as I've seen more n' more of their presence in game play, the comeback they're trying to make, and using them more in different playthroughs (Mostly hacks) I just really like them. The way things such as Facade and Toxic Boost use it to their advantage just feels bittersweet. I once came upon a forum about Kyurem, talking about how Nintendo somehow dislikes Ice types, but what about Poison Types(?) No Legendary(No, Arceus, holding that Toxic Plate doesn't even satisfy me :/), barely ANY presence in Hoenn and onward(Though Hoenn was the worst, IMO), and since Gen II has only been reduced to being super-effective against only Grass-Types and flat-out powerless against Steel-Types.

The very idea of Fairy possibly(And maybe even probably) being weak to Poison just makes my eyes sparkle more and more. And then there's the deception-factor, so many pokemon can learn Toxic(Which Koga explains the reason behind why) and Grass n' Bug types almost seem to use it moreso than the rest, Twineedle for a while being able to bypass the Steel's resistance and even mono/pure-type grass pokemon being able to learn PoisonPowder. And now thanks to Gen V, Soak users can help deliver to the troll-faced Steels a slow, but long-awaited nerfing from their number-one haters.

I'll get to the other questions later as ^ can tell you I kinda tend to ramble(Less so then when I'm actually talking, but still ._.).

Least Favorite Poison-Type

I don't really hate or dislike any pokemon in general (Even The Food, Things, and 'creepy' Pokemon), but I have the debatable irrational fear of Bees, Hornets, and those of the like. The only pokemon that falls under that category for Poison-Types is (Naturally) Beedrill, it might have 'Bee' in it's name but the wiki answers seem to suggest they're more of the wasp variety(Based on their features in contrast to bees) more specifically the 'Giant Hornet' (Or so Bulbapedia seems to find plausible). Just thinking about them makes me paranoid of my surroundings(It is Summer and I've already seen their inspired subjects around our house O_O") and just imagining if they were real and in this very room ... I'd rather be be-headed by a Scyther or drunk like a can of Soda before being sliced to ribbons by a Kabutops then spend one second in the same vicinity of one of these things.

I apologize for sharing those nightmarish(And graphic) images, but that is how I truly feel, and I assume the 'WHY?' is implied for the 'least favorite' as well ._.

Saving a Pokemon may be a tad difficult, but acceptable. :D

Welcome to the Club, a place for toxic awesomeness! ^^

I can't believe I read all that, but yes, you do have some points. The reason I don't use Poison Types is because it is effective against one thing, so why not get a fighting or fire type which is effective against more?

I adore bee's! They are so cute and fluffy! But when they sting me, they are lucky they die afterwards... mwahaahhahahahahahhaha!! >:D

Rambling is quite appreciated in some forums, because we prefer that over:

'yeah i prefer dat to this 1'

And then it basically ends! But I like this style a bit since by bestie talks like that. xD

I hear there is one in X/Y which is evil and it is carried in Celtic folklore.

Okay, that is pretty awesome! Also, I realized I spoke about Gengar alongside Victreebel in the post, but the sprite I meant and chose for the two was actually Arbok, haha. Sorry if I wasn't clear! I can't wait to start learning- I have to get the bass though. Good luck with guitar; sounds like a cool goal =)

His biggest downfall though is his terrible defenses. He is taken down very easily unfortunately.

Click to expand...

Totally. Just one Psychic or Shadow Ball... and Crunch, forget about it. I had used a Gengar competitively once a few years back, and I had a focus sash on him that came in handy for an extra power attack =)

Oooh, that's fine. Will I change Gengar to Arbok, then? :P

Celtic Folklore is just plain awesome. It always holds so much wisdom and awesomeness. xD

I'd like to join, i've used Poison types since FireRed and they were always essential to me in my teams, with my partners being Nidoking and Toxicroak. (my laptop is a arse when it comes to copying image url's sometimes so apologies for no sprites).

As for the topics:

Which Generation Holds The Best Poison Types?
Gen 1 for sure: Venusaur, Nidoking, Nidoqueen... shoud i go on? ^_^

What Is Your Favorite And Why?
Toxicroak, this guy was a beast in my Platinum game. I really loved him althrough he has 4x Psychic weakness

Least Favorite?
Amoonguss, its not that appealing to me and the same goes for Garbodor, but i like him a bit more than Amoonguss

Who Is Your Favorite Gym Leader/Elite Four Poison Type User?
Roxie, hands down. Her gym in B2/W2 was amazing.

Okay, Shadow! Welcome to the team!

Okay, so Toxicroak and Nidoking? (if not, you can just ask me to change it.) :P

SO GLAD EVERYONE IS CHOOSING ROXIE! Suck it, Koga. >:D

Best Generation of Poison: Not gonna say "best" but the first, because it's the only one I can remember. Plus it holds my favorite line of Pokemon who I often forget are poisonous anyway.

Favorite Two: Nidoran Female and Nidorina. Reasons are too long, explained them before. Like, if anyone's seriously interested PM me about it. I will say this, I don't even like them because they're poisonous, it's just convenient, really. They could've been from another series altogether. *shrug* I like rabbits so, yeah.

Least Favorite: ElectroRisingDawn hit the nail on the head. I also hate wasps iRL. I don't have an unfavorite Pokemon, but I still don't like wasps just based on principal.

Favorite User: Please, they're all bad. Seriously though, I don't know. Can I pick a Pokemon instead? :\ Gengar from Mystery Dungeon knew how to use his power on his own accord, sooo, there you go I guess.
