Not a bug Poison Bug

Poison only damages pokemon when said pokemon is in battle.

 

[Darkfire]

do you mean while not in a battle at all?
poison damages when moving around and when that Pokemon is out in battle

 

[XxCrowxX]

yes, it seems to only hurt my pokemon when they are actually fighting, i cant remember if its suppose to continue doing damage if you switch them out during battle but never the less its not doing dmg when i walk just when its fighting

I will confirm that you don't take psn damage when walking

I am following the B/W/B2/W2 games here, do you think I should add the out-of-battle damage? It would bring a bit more balace to the poison status since it is the only one that doesn't do anything other than just taking away HP.

For example, burn is reducing attack and paralysis is reducing speed.

It still does out of battle damage in b/w
it just won't die from it

hm then I remembered that wrong
I will that like in B/W, I guess it'll keep 1 HP then.

In Generation V, outside battle poison damage was removed in its entirety. It was in Generation IV that had the auto-cure at 1 HP.

Hm.....i just tested it.....and I was wrong....
sorry nilllzz

i dont see why they got rid of it to me thats one of the things about poison i always liked, you have to cure it or it KOs your pokemon.
