Baneful Bunker is a Poison-type move introduced in Generation VII. It is the signature move of Toxapex.

Description

Games	Description
SMUSUM SwShLA SV	In addition to protecting the user from attacks, this move also poisons any attacker that makes direct contact.
BDSP	This move can’t be used. It’s recommended that this move is forgotten. Once forgotten, this move can’t be remembered.

Effect

While mostly functioning identical to Protect, if a Pokémon without an immunity to Poison (either due to being Poison or Steel type, having an ability such as Komala's Comatose or Immunity, or having another status condition) makes contact with the user, they become poisoned.

If Baneful Bunker blocks an attack, the effects of the user's Rocky Helmet, Rough Skin, and Iron Barbs will not activate. If Sucker Punch is used on a Pokémon that has used Baneful Bunker, the move fails and the Pokémon does not get poisoned. When used with a poisonium Z,the user's Defense stat rises by one stage.
