poison-Type Weaknesses
- ground: Soil and earth naturally neutralize and absorb toxins - ground is inorganic and therefore is not prone to toxicity.
- psychic: The mind can resist and overcome toxins through discipline, and mental fortitude.
poison-Type Resistances
- grass: Although some plants are homeopathic remedies to poisons, a toxic environment would corrode the plant structure before it could be distilled into an antidote.
- poison: More of the same element often, but not always, only strengthens that element.
- bug: Bugs when being aggressive typically use their own venom to subdue opponents - venom and poison are the same rendering it ineffective.
- fairy: Fairies derive their power from nature, and nature is often corroded by poison. Fairy power would be weakened in the presence of toxins.
- fighting: Toxins when affecting the body slow down physical exertion - getting through poisoning is often a mental battle before it is one you can punch.
