top tier

no

no

Most Pokémon can learn toxic, so no

I'm a retard who doesn't know much about competitive battling, but shouldn't this be the other way around?

Fairy killers

Look at the weaknesses
>Psychic a shit
>Ground is still valid
Use a poison type with Bulu for grassy surge and you have a good wall

>>32017549

>kills fairies and grass types

poison is good as an attack, sludge wave is one of the best attacks in the game

it's shit defensively because it's weak to the most common offensive type (ground), psychic and offers no useful resistances

>>32017561
>fairy, fighting and bug aren't useful resistences

>>32017524
It has never been more relevant

>anything using bug offensively, except for scizor (which is immune to poison)
>most fairy types carry a psychic attack (or anything with fairy coverage being psychic STAB anyway)
>most fighting types have ground coverage

the only example of a good defensive poison type is toxapex and that's by virtue of its incredible abilit/movepool and stats. venusaur is a little better this generation too but that's about it.

>>32017576
not really, most solid teams have a good steel type to counter fairies and fighting and bug are worse than ever

In gen1, it used to be the second worst type in the game, just ahead of Bug. Sludge was the most powerful Poison attack with 65 power and only 2 Pokemon learned it. Being weak to Ground and Psychic didn't help, and their best status move was glitched and didn't even work when your opponent switched.

Nowadays, Poison isn't actually all that bad. With the introduction of the Fairy type and heavy use of stall tactics with a Toxic attack that actually works, it gets the job done.

I think it was better last gen, though. Psychic types seem to be seeing an increase in use thanks to Tapi Lele.

Wrong, poison has the second best designs behind ghost.

yeah
