Poisoned

Poisoned, also known as Poison and abbreviated as PSN, is a Status Effect. Badly Poisoned also exists, which is considered an upgrade of normal Poisoning and has slightly different effects.

Generation I
In Generation I the Poisoned Pokémon in question will lose 1/16 of the HP the Pokémon had at full health. Every four steps, the Pokémon will lose one Hit Point until it faints.

Badly Poisoned Pokémon will take the same amount of damage as normal Poisoning the first turn, but then will lower with each hit taken that turn. If the Pokémon is switched out, the badly poison will turn into normal Poisoning. Outside of battle, the badly poison turns into normal Poison, and takes that effect.

Generation II
In Generation II the Poisoned Pokémon instead loses 1/8 the amount of HP the Pokémon had at full health. Every four steps, the Pokémon will lose one Hit Point until it faints, as in Generation I.

Badly Poisoned Pokémon starts at 1/16, as in Generation I, but at the end of each turn will lower instead of taking damage. Other than that, it is the same as Generation I.

Generation III
In Generation III, normal Poisoning is exactly like in Generation II.

Badly Poisoned Pokémon, however, changed slightly. When switched out, the badly poisoning will remain, but will stay at 1/16 until switched back into battle.

The Poisoned Pokémon now turns purple when losing health.

Generation IV
In Generation IV, normal Poisoning is exactly as in Generation II, with one small change. Outside of battle, once the Poisoned Pokémon is brought to one Hit Point, the Pokémon will be cured of the Poisoning.

Badly Poisoning is exactly like Generation II, but with the change stated above.

The Poisoned Pokémon now turns purple when losing health.

Generation V
In Generation V, normal Poisoning is exactly the same as in Generation II, with two small changes. Pokémon no longer lose damage outside of battle through Poisoning. Poisoned Pokémon also receive double damage for the moves Hex and Venoshock.

Badly Poising is exactly the same as in Generation II, but with the change stated above.

In the Trading Card Game, there are five status effects which mimic common ones from the Games. With every turn that passes, the Pokémon Poisoned is given one damage counter. Poisoning can only be treated by retreating to the Bench or by evolving a Pokémon.
