All 83 Poison-Type Pokémon

About Poison-type Pokémon

Poison is a type that rarely appears alone: only 19% of its 83 Pokémon are pure Poison. It resists five types but ranks near the bottom for average base stat total. Its matchups have changed more than most. In Generation 1, Bug and Poison were super effective against each other; Generation 2 removed both. Generation 6 then gave Poison a new target, since Poison moves are super effective against the Fairy type introduced that year.

The generator above draws only from Pokémon with Poison as one of their types, dual types included.
