Toxic (move)

Toxic (Japanese: どくどく Excessive Poison) is a non-damaging Miasma-type attack.

Effect
Toxic badly poisons the target. When the target takes damage from the poison, the damage done will be, where N starts at 1 and x is 1/16 of the target's maximum HP (rounded down, but not less than 1). While a Puppet is badly poisoned, N increases by 1 each time it takes Toxic damage. When an afflicted Puppet is switched out, or when the battle ends, the Puppet's poison status becomes regular poison.

If a badly poisoned Puppet uses Baton Pass or Heal Bell, N will not be reset. As a result, if the active Puppet then suffers poison or burn damage, the damage will be calculated as, and the N value will still increase by 1 each time (however, if the Puppet is poisoned with Toxic, the N value will be reset to 1).

When used on a Steel-type Puppet, a Miasma-type Puppet, or a Puppet with the Immunity Ability, Toxic will fail.
