Pokemon Champions · Type matchups

Poison type

How the Poison type works in Champions ranked battles — what it hits hardest, what it fears, and every Poison Pokemon on the roster.

Open the team builder

Poison moves hit super-effectively:

grass fairy

poison ground rock ghost steel

Build with it

In the builder, Poison coverage matters because Grass, Fairy are common defensive staples. Allocate stat points with the 66/32 caps in mind:

  • 32 / 32 / 2 spreads are the ranked baseline
  • cap any single stat at 32
  • the builder flags illegal spreads automatically
