DescriptionThis move poisons the target. Competitive UseIf the existence of Toxic, a move that 100% outclasses PoisonPowder, isn't enough reason to not run it, there are plenty more reasons besides. The fact that all Pokemon that learn it can also learn Stun Spore, Sleep Powder, and the powerful Spore also spells doom for PoisonPowder. The fact is that paralysis and, most importantly, sleep are much more important forms of support than both forms of poison. Don't use PoisonPowder, as all it learners always have a better status move, better even than Toxic. Related MovesPoison Gas is an equivalent with slightly higher accuracy and PP. Toxic has greater accuracy and inflicts Toxic poison, which is more damaging over time than regular poison. Stun Spore is an exact Grass-type equivalent that inflicts paralysis. Glare is an exact Normal-type equivalent that inflicts paralysis. Sleep Powder is a Grass-type equivalent that induces sleep, but with fewer PP. |
