Change your preferences here. Toxic Spikes
DescriptionThis move lays down poison-inducing spikes on the opponent's field. If this move is used twice, the Toxic Spikes will cause toxic poison. Only affects grounded Pokemon. Grounded Pokemon are Pokemon that are not part Flying, do not have the ability Levitate, do not have Ingrain active, do not have Magnet Rise active, and are not holding an Air Balloon. If Gravity is active, all Pokemon are grounded. All Pokemon holding an Iron Ball are grounded. If a Pokemon is Baton Passed a Substitute, it is not poisoned by Toxic Spikes. If Safeguard is in effect when a Pokemon switches in, it is not poisoned by Toxic Spikes. All layers are removed from opponent's side of the field when they use Rapid Spin, or when the user's team uses Defog. If a player switches in a grounded Poison-type Pokemon while Toxic Spikes are on that player's side of the field, the Toxic Spikes are removed, even if Safeguard is in effect or the Pokemon is Baton Passed a Substitute. In a double or triple battle, this move will affect all opposing Pokemon. Toxic Spikes do not activate the ability Synchronize. Pokemon with the ability Magic Guard can be poisoned by Toxic Spikes, but do not take damage from the poison. |
