Hey guys, VG Jungle coming at you, wanting to talk about a really big issue in the 1v1 community right now. And that would be Poison-type Pokemon.
I know, you’re all thinking, “hey VG, I appreciate that you bring up the omnipresent topic of Poison-types in the Sword and Shield 1v1 Metagame, and I’m surprised you’re the first one to bring it up in the metagame discussion thread.” I also know you guys are sick and tired of all this talk of “ban sableye” and “ban necrozma” but I’m going to assure you that this post is solely about Poison-type Pokemon in the Sword and Shield 1v1 Metagame.

I know you’re now thinking, “well I know poison type pokemon are great, but which ones are the great ones?”

I know you already know Poison-type Pokemon are great in the Sword and Shield 1v1 Metagame, but if you don’t, I’m going to explain it.

A. They beat fairies
- Fairies are really good right now with Primarina, Sylveon, and that Puppet Rat that’s name I can’t remember. Poison-type Pokemon such as Gengar, Drapion, Toxapex, Venusaur, and Silvally-Poison all have generally positive matchups against Fairy-types.

B. They all happen to have other traits that make them useful.
- Poison is a terrible type. The only reason any Poison-type is good is because it has other stuff. Like holy heck, all they do is beat fairies.

what a 24 hours for the womanizer :3
 
i have seen someone saying "LBDC wins this match ez" .

and at this moment, i thought " my god, this guy knows absolutely nothing about the game"

I've laughed.
 
Fun Fact: In Game 1, TDA crit once in 18 moves. The chance of critting at least once in 18 moves is about 46.48%. But yeah, it was hax.

EDIT: Got it backwards, it's actually 53.52%.
