Poison Heal

Description

When this Pokémon is poisoned, whether Toxic or regular, it heals 1/8 of its max HP at the end of each turn instead of taking damage.

If this Pokemon is under the effects of Heal Block, it neither loses nor gains HP at the end of the turn.

If a Poison Heal Pokemon is under the effects of Toxic poison, their Toxic counter still increases normally, even though they aren't taking damage. This means that if the Pokemon loses Poison Heal, the Toxic damage it receives is the same as it would be getting on that turn if it hadn't had Poison Heal.

This Pokemon still takes poison damage outside of battle.

Competitive Use

Both Breloom and Gliscor are great and extremely annoying Pokemon due to this ability. Gliscor especially is a staple of this generation it seems, and adores the 12.5% health boost at the end of every turn, allowing it to counter the metagame’s biggest threats, such as Excadrill and Terrakion. Breloom is altogether different, usually abusing Spore and Focus Punch, but it really is all due to the health boost granted by Poison Heal. The ability is so good, both use Toxic Orb commonly as their held item to make sure they get the boost as quickly as possible with little risk.
