In the main-series Pokémon video games, Toxic is a Poison-type status move that inflicts bad poison. The target does not become Poison-type: its type and its status condition are separate things.
What does “Poison” mean here?
Pokémon and their attacks have types, but a Pokémon’s type is distinct from a status condition affecting it. The official Pokémon type chart describes types for both Pokémon and attacks. Toxic’s type is Poison; being badly poisoned is the effect it applies to a target, not a change to that target’s type.
- Move type: Poison.
- Move category: status; Toxic does not directly deal damage when used.
- Effect: inflicts bad poison, whose damage worsens over time in the main-series descriptions.
- Target’s type: unchanged merely because Toxic poisoned it.
The Toxic move reference lists its Poison type and bad-poison effect. Avoid assuming a single damage progression applies to every game: move mechanics have changed across generations.
Does being Poison-type affect Toxic?
Type interactions may matter when working out whether a move affects a particular target, but exact rules can depend on the game and generation. The official type chart warns that it reflects the latest game and that type affinity may differ by game. The Toxic reference also records changes over time. If you need to know whether Toxic works against a specific Pokémon, check the rules for the exact game rather than treating every version’s immunity or accuracy behavior as identical.

What if you mean the Pokémon Trading Card Game?
The card game uses its own rules and terminology. Its official TCG glossary describes a Poison marker as a reminder that a Pokémon is Poisoned. That card-game status does not determine the type of Toxic in the video games.
