Poisonous Pokemon Moves EXPLAINED! 🐍|💀 Gnoggin

is there even a pokemon type edgier than poison type dark and ghost well that didn't take long but yeah i guess so but poison is still pretty edgy media often portrays thieves and assassins using poisoned daggers and poisoned flasks as dark and evil sort of thing and it kind of is poisoning someone is rude like you could just kill them here and now but instead you poison them to make them suffer for their final moments it's messed up but i guess it's also entirely natural there are so many venomous and poisonous insects and reptiles and even a few mammals and birds and the plants oh god i'm so allergic to poison oak as a kid it hospitalized me it made my eyes and esophagus swell shut nature is scary so honestly if i were to get hit by a pokemon move i'm pretty sure a poison type move would be the last one i'd want to get hit by but hey let's go ahead and explain all of the poison type moves in pokemon explain what they do whether or not it's poison or venom and just have some fun gather your antidotes and let's get started [Applause] hello you need a vpn just telling it to you straight it's true though because without a vpn i know all about you and your little hobbies you

types namesake the moves that are very clearly actually poison and that means we gotta define it poison a substance that is capable of causing the illness or death of a living organism when introduced or absorbed that's pretty straightforward collegually venomous animals actively inject you with their toxic venom through a bite or a sting whereas poisonous things are things that are bad for you to eat or come into contact with poison dart frogs secrete poison and you do not want to touch them poison oak and ivy have waxy leaves covered in poison and you do not want to touch them tide pods while great for cleaning are poisonous when swallowed heck alcohol is technically a poison but it is a mild one that humans happen to like the effect of and have you heard of iron or water poisoning take too much of either and you get really sick as it does damage to your body really so many things can technically be considered a poison it's all just a matter of what the dosage is so clearly poison dart frog poison is worse for you than water though both can still kill you now i'm sure poison type pokemon are more along the lines of poison dart frogs and less along the lines of just a lot of water let's start with the move toxic thread let's look up the definition of toxic poisonous well at least it's to the point this is the signature move of arya dose where it shoots poisonous spider webs all around its opponent to both slow them down and poison them spiders are one of the more well-known venomous animals so what having a signature poison move is pretty good even though poison and venom are sort of different things but we'll get to that when it comes to spiders most of them have to actively bite you for their venom to work while most of their webs aren't poisonous at all most of them meet the triconfilla clevipes or clever peas i'm just gonna call it the banana spider cause that's also what it's known as it's the banana spider it's a lot easier to say while the banana spider spins its web it secretes a neurotoxin all over it making its web technically poisonous when a bug touches the web not only do they get stuck to its stickiness but the poison eventually reaches their brain and shuts down their nervous system paralyzing them aren't spiders wonderful let's look at something docile and nice like plants with the move poison powder the user scatters a cloud of poisonous dust that poisons the target and looking at the pokemon that learn this move they are all grass type or are bug type moths we'll get to that but this move is essentially the poisonous plant move generally speaking plants don't want to be eaten their fruit yes themselves no thus various plants develop things like capsaicin thorns and poison most of the time the poison only acts if the plant is eaten like water hemlock being absorbed by your stomach which then actively turns your blood itself into a neuromuscular junction toxin which will make you feel drunk until you die in as little as 15 minutes scary but that's what happens when your brain's breathing and heart beating signal can't reach the lungs or heart anymore as for the powder that likely refers to pollen pollen by itself is functionally a sort of poison to those of us with allergies which on its own would be enough to justify this move but we can go deeper some plants like the pea plant and the econotum will actively poison their own pollen if a bee goes in to drink its nectar it gets the poisonous powdery pollen on it and brings it back to its hive spreading throughout it it irritates the bees digestive tract and can be fatal if they have too much of it producing nectar takes a lot of energy and some plants do not just want to share that willy-nilly so they have co-evolved to have pollen that's poisonous to certain species but not others as well as only poisonous if the bees happen to get really greedy see even nature wants to kill bees but how about those moth pokemon well moths are already known to be covered in a sort of moth dust hence dust docks in reality they are shedding their wing scales all the time and they also tend to hide in really dusty areas and so are just covered in normal dust on top of their own scales shedding but on top of that there are in fact poisonous moths stomachaches if you eat them and hives if you come into contact with them so both plants and moths have this association with powders and poisons and thus moth and plant pokemon are the ones to learn poison powder oh also ricin ricin exists it's terrible it's just a poisonous powder that destroys your lungs at the cellular level don't now powder isn't the only way poisons go airborne there's also poisonous gas so many wonderful gases so awful and inhumane that using many of them against enemy soldiers is considered a war crime but i guess it's fine to use them on your own citizens mustard gas tear gas chlorine oh boy and then there's the silent killer carbon monoxide this gas is the most common type of fatal air poisoning in most countries you can't see it can't smell it and can't taste it how wonderful is that oh and it's produced by burning fossil fuels how wonderful how does it kill you a dizzying headache that turns into seizures and bleeding eyeballs because the molecular makeup of your blood is wrong great but yeah this is a pokemon move a poisonous cloud of gas is forcefully expelled to poison the target there's all sorts of different gas as it could be i'm sure it's different depending on the pokemon using it like gallarian wheezing carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide salazal probably hydrogen sulfide or sulfur dioxide those come from thermal vents and volcanoes skunk tank well that's just farts oh and i guess these gases would also explain the move smog the target is attacked with a discharge of filthy gases this may also poison the target smog is typically a lot darker colored it's the beautiful haze you see over major cities that are too scared to use nuclear energy which would solve all of our energy and global warming problems while we wait for renewable technology to advance more and looking at the pokemon that learn smog there's a lot of fire types here likely to reference those vents and volcanoes again and i mean the smog in these cities does come from burning fossil fuels after all so fire type now venom drench and venoshock based on the names you would assume they were venomous moves not poisonous but no it's poison and guess what most of the actually venomous moves are the ones that actually have the word poison in their own name isn't game freak just the best both venom drench and venoshock douse poisonous liquid all over the opponent i mean even the description of venom shock still has the word drenches in it where they defer is in their game mechanics venom drench lowers the attack special attack and speed stats of a poisoned target and veno shock doubles in power if the target is already poisoned interestingly they both have already poisoned mechanics what's up with that well if you have a poison in your body you typically want an antidote and not more poison that is what's up with that the only thing worse than being poisoned is having your body fail on you due to more poison doing things like making it harder to move your muscles which neurotoxins do that would certainly reduce your speed and attack and going into shock is a medical term that does so much damage to your body and of course poison is capable of causing it though typically only if there's a lot of it hence venoshock it's really bad and does a lot of damage now for the um actually they should be venom type moves moves even though the actual definition of venom is a poison that is actively injected so really all venom is poison but not all poison is venom it's that whole thing so i guess most of them having the word poison in the name isn't bad it's just kind of dumb because of those two moves named after venom that aren't venom anyway let's start with poison sting it's really the most apparent and obvious poison type move there is insects bite they sting and typically defend themselves from things that are bigger than them things that they would have no chance against without the added help of being venomous it gives a deterrence to their attackers oh you gonna fight me you better be careful wasps ants scorpions they all have venomous stingers and they all contain chemicals that cause nerves to go off essentially making the sting significantly more painful than it would actually be otherwise i mean it's just like a near microscopic thumbtack poked you like yeah it hurts but it's just like ow but no now there's venom that tells your nerves that this is the most intense pain possible and some of these stings even have lingering side effects like dizziness nausea trouble breathing but for the most part humans won't die from them and this is very similar to how poison jab functions the target is stabbed with a tentacle arm or the like seeped in poison this may also poison the target neato king sea king arya dose they got poisonous horns so those horns are pretty much just like extra-large stingers tend to cruel well jellyfish tentacles will mess you up just brushing against a box jellyfish tentacle causes tissue necrosis meaning the part of your body that touched it is literally rapidly dying at the cellular level and it spreads and it's extremely painful and deadly and this pokemon here is actively trying to jab you with it that's why it's cruel as for the arm in that description i'm sure that's for krogunk the move was added the same time it was and that's like its whole thing punching you with its poisonous arms it's a poison dart frog which use betrachotoxins to cause paralysis to the point of death it just stops your heart from being able to move great then poison fang another obvious one snake fangs are literally injection needles the most common snake venom causes limb numbness weakness nausea and blurred vision but it can get as bad as a loss of consciousness and death poison tail is an interesting one you would think it's referring to like gligar or skarupi but they don't naturally learn the move at all naturally of course meaning via level up rather than through tm breeding or a trainer the move is described as the user hits the target with its tail this may also poison the target and that sounds very generic so i guess this move could be just poisonous or venomous depending on the user the viper is definitely venomous with its blade tail but goodra i guess its tail is coated in poisonous goo and now some of it's stuck on you you touched it it's gross it's poison cross poison is a slashing attack that may also leave the target poisoned it has a high critical hit ratio really it's just scratch with sharp poison coated claws it's similar in concept to shell sidearm the signature move of gallary and slowbro now we know that the shelder on slowbro and sloaking is venomous various pokedex entries mention that it releases toxins into them as it bites down this theoretically is why slowking is so smart so in the case of this move it's just hitting the opponent with its venomous shelder friend what's neat though is that this move can inflict physical or special damage based on which would be stronger when physical you just get hit by its toxic spikes but when special you get shot with poison so i guess this is also either or venom or poison it's only venomous when physical painful bunker is another venomous signature move this time belonging to toxopex toxopex is based on the crown of thorns starfish which has a super mean venom found in its spikes it's a neurotoxin that causes intense sharp pain that lasts hours like think of the pain of actively being stabbed not just like oh you're stabbed in that hurt and now it's kind of sore but you know at least you're not actively being stabbed no it's the initial stabbing pain but always for hours and the pain itself is bad enough that it causes nausea and vomiting just because the brain can't handle the pain it's painful indeed then toxic i'm not sure if i'd count this one as poisonous or venomous either it's kind of both so a new category i guess you could probably throw some of the old ones in here too the category is it's kind to both i mean the move toxic is so generic in name even and so many pokemon learn it naturally and the ones that don't learn it naturally can learn it through tm all but 23 pokemon prior to gen 8 are able to learn it via tm and if we don't count the ones that eventually evolve into pokemon who can learn it through tm we're left with only six and all six of them have gimmicks that explain why this is worthy of a video on its own but i'm sure the idea is that any living thing can potentially be toxic metaphorically speaking and literally i mean we all poop we all have bacteria in and on us we all spread germs coughing and sneezing these are all things that can make others sick heck did you know that deep tissue human bites are potentially lethal we are not venomous we just have all sorts of nasty viruses and bacteria in our mouths that infects our victims fun fact i found out while researching this did you know that 20 percent of all reported bite related injuries in germany are from humans what are you doing over there cat claws are another good example cats aren't venomous but their claws can be covered in all sorts of nasty germs when they bury their poop they get the dirt and the poop all over it and that's why cat scratch fever is a thing so yeah just about anything can be toxic anything besides medical robots punching bags and cosmic horrors that is then with toxic spikes the user lays a trap of poisonous spikes at the feet of the opposing team the spikes will poison opposing pokemon that switch into battle it's just the move spikes but extra spicy the user could be scattering a bunch of old stingers on the ground or like shedded horns a bed of thorns poisonous thorns are poisonous and they do pierce the skin but do they actively inject their poison thus making it venom you know but also since garbodor can learn this move perhaps it's just generic in nature i'm sure garbodor just throws a bunch of sharp gross trash which can cause things like tetanus or a simple bacterial infection and speaking of garbodor new category time that's nasty with gunk shot the user shoots filthy garbage at the target to attack i mean that's pretty self-explanatory and in the anime it's only been used by garbodor and look at this that's just like a glowing trash bag in the games it kinda just looks like well gunk sticky goo gross bubbles but then i love the gen 6 animation because it literally throws a metal trash can clearly that hurts and trash often has decaying food scraps in it or sharp rusty middle bits used tissues waste you know things that'll get you sick now there's three sludge moves sludge sludge bomb and sludge wave and they too are pretty self-explanatory sludge is gross especially since raw sewage is typically a sludge and that explains sludge wave sewer surfing sludge then just throws a handful of the stuff and sludge bomb does the same but more so so much that it explodes all over them it's disgusting but at least it's not gmax mal odor the signature move of gigantomax garbodor garbota at this size is a living garbage dump and it's just seeping trash juice all over you and then geysers it up gee to the roast even just doing that with water would hurt and this is trash water filled to the brim with germs [Music] then with belch the user lets out a damaging belch at the target the user must eat a held berry to use this move sometimes when we eat we swallow air that air needs to come back up and that's why we burp but if we happen to be digesting certain foods well that air was just in your stomach accumulating rotten smells i know my wife hates when i eat pork chops the burps are the worst and in pokemon that smell can be damaging especially if the burper's stomach is filled with poisonous things already because they are poison type or because they're like snorlax who is able to just eat poison and be fine but speaking of the stomach new category acid is acid poison didn't have to think about that too long yes it causes irritation and damage on contact or ingestion acid burns are no joke acid acid spray and gastro acid are all moves similar in concept the user hurls up its stomach acids on the foe the user spits fluid that works to melt the target opposing pokemon are attacked with a spray of harsh acid while gastro acid is clearly stomach acid in name and in description the other two could also be regular sort of acid sprays which numerous animals are capable of doing like the spitting cobra wood ants and bombardier beetles to explain why acids burn and melt things would take forever so here's a super short and simple summary most acids are proton donors they get into whatever they are melting at the molecular level giving them protons breaking up their own bonds just forcing itself in there and then they evaporate or dissolve after doing the damage it just comes in to deal as much damage to the molecular unity as possible before just up and leaving rude and clear to see why these moves do damage their secondary effects are interesting though acid reduces defense as mini acids are used to dissolve metal or bone rapidly so just melting the enemy's defensive shell acid spray reduces special defense special defense is a sort of mental defense but it has some physical properties as well it's a bit complicated when you really start trying to quantify it but i know that if parts of me were actively burning i'd be pretty mentally distressed they don't want to deal with these stupid ants anymore and gastro acid eliminates the effect of the foe's ability there's an odd one i guess sometimes it makes sense like the ability battle armor it's melted now fluffy now you're bald dry skin how about no skin anger point i feel like this would make them more angry corrosive gas is also acid but in gaseous form talk about a spicy butthole the user surrounds everything around it with a highly acidic gas and melts away items they hold as previously mentioned there are poisonous gases and some of them are poisonous because of how acidic they are like hydrogen sulfide and even carbon dioxide technically then acid downpour also known as acid poison delete in japanese this is the poison type z move the user creates a poisonous swamp using its z power and sinks the target into it at full force the description says poison swamp and swamps are pretty icky and poisonous and cause disease but the name and animation say acid rain remember those volcanoes that release poisonous gases well when it rains the water traps those gases and the rain becomes acidic it causes a lot of damage all over the place and generally is not a good day to walk the dog so with the z power they make acid rain and an acid puddle and then they dip their opponent into said puddle like they're trying to dissolve a murdered corpse in a tub except they only faint and are fine should have used max ooze the generic poison type dynamax move in japanese the name of it is dye acid so this liquid is acidic ooze and it just do what acid do but a lot there's a lot more of it because big new category it's just pukamuku or i guess other because this move does not fit any of the other categories this category has the move purify exclusively in it purify is the signature move of pukamuku the punchy sea cucumber using it makes it heal another pokemon's non-volatile status condition such as being poisoned and heal half of its own hp sea cucumbers are pretty resilient and poisonous they have holothurin which causes extreme weakness and permanent blindness lovely but that doesn't explain this move a poison move that heals well it could be seen as a reference to how humans have used venoms and poisons to make all sorts of treatments and cures for things heck right now scorpion venom is being used to treat brain cancer so yes a poison can be used to heal it's science it's cool but why would sucking up someone else's paralysis heal you though huh well some say that there are health benefits to eating sea cucumbers the non-toxic ones of course eating them can help speed up your own wound healing and make you generally healthier thanks to their neuroprotective anti-tumor anticoagulant antimicrobial and antioxidant effects that's that that's just a list of things that want to kill you huh so maybe there's something there but perhaps more specifically this move is magically manifesting one of the primary abilities of the sea cucumber into an attack to quote national geographic sea cucumbers are the purifying species for the ocean see they even use the word purifying feeding on scraps of food the creatures spend their lives inhaling salt water and expelling clear liquid and sediment in many areas their depletion has led to murkier more polluted coastal waters so clearly they quite literally clear the icky gross gunk out of the water by eating it and eating in video games pokemon included tends to be how you heal because that's literally how it works so it's sucking all of the bad stuff out of the target purifying it and healing itself awesome now final category time the poison type pokemon moves that truly should not be poison type in my opinion anyway and there's only three no shouldn't the venom moves all not be because venom and poison are different and the first move is acid armor you'd think acid so yeah acid is poison but there isn't inherently any acid involved in the move at all the move's japanese name is just liquify even the user alters its cellular structure to liquefy itself sharply raising its defense stat and i guess acid is capable of altering cellular structure because that's what it does but it isn't inherently needed and normally acid removes things thus all of the other acid moves lowering defense and if you look at the pokemon that learned this move most are already viscous alchemy is whipped cream melton is mercury cryogonal and vanillish they're literally ice vaporeon and theon can practically melt into water muck is muck so i assume the original intent here is that they are all actively making their bodies more liquid-like because it's harder to do damage to liquids compared to solids i mean go punch some water and see what you do to it i assume this move is poison type because back when the move was first made it was basically the signature move of muk though vaporeon could learn it too it's got crazy cell structure powers though so it's sort of the same reason withdraw is water type going into your shell to defend yourself isn't inherently watery whatsoever but all of the pokemon who knew the move in gen 1 were water types so just make the move water type too there you go that's what they did but with poison up next clear smog smog is poisonous absolutely but the act of clearing it though would adding more smog to the air clear the smog that's already there is it like how most anti-venoms are made from venom but it's air pollution instead wait it's not even smog the description says the user attacks the target by throwing a clump of special mud all stat changes are returned to normal what yeah mud it's gross and icky i guess there's germs mud is found in swamps swamps are filled with disease i don't know but this move is harmful like a poison if the opponent is buffed because it makes all of their raised stats lowered and normal again but if their stats have been reduced this move helps them i guess most medicine can become a poison if you have too much of it eh it just doesn't feel right but i'll chalk this one up to interpretation if you don't like this move in the knot category just pretend it's in the other category however this last move i don't really think you can argue in favor of being poison type the move is coil like with withdrawal having nothing to do with water coiling has nothing to do with poison sure leeches snakes and centipedes are venomous and are capable of coiling but freaking this ferret can coil too so what the move's effect is fine though the user coils up and concentrates this raises its attack and defense stats as well as its accuracy it's like what cobras do when getting ready to strike they first take a defensive pose coiling around themselves then raise their head ready to attack and strike accurately so yeah the move has an association with a venomous creature but the move in and of itself is not poisonous at all so it should not be poison type and that is that that was the video oh and uh remember all that stuff i said that i know about you back during the nordvpn promo well i also know that half of you watching are subscribed thanks so much for that you're awesome and the rest of you should maybe consider hitting that big subscribe button too i promise you won't regret it especially if you're like most of the rest of the audience here male american or british like pokemon and smash bros a lot of you have been watching a lot of mnj tv and true green seven and the game series and terminal montage too it even tells me which videos specifically nordvpn it lets you keep your secrets and never stop using your noggin [Music] you
