Literally just have to burn/poison it to cancel it.

He's right tho. Unless you're thinking about toxic poison, then maybe it's not a great idea.

The low encounter rate is high enough stakes where you should try to do some prep work before you hunt to save yourself the frustration

>Trying to SOS chain Abra
Doable, but you have to make a Smeargle set-up specifically for it.

Regular poison is bad too. Because poison took 1/8 of HP, while Aqua Ring recover 1/16.
Actually burn is the right choice.
