Poison Types and You

Poison type pokemon are some of the most diverse, next to water and normal types. Some come from nature itself, others from the polluting habits of humans, and others had become poisonous from exposure and as a means to survive.
These types are not for everyone. Many a beginning trainer has been found poisoned, paralyzed and lethally injured by their poison type pokemon. There is always a tiny percentage of trainer deaths that result in their mishandling of their own poison type. Death by wild poison types is ranked a few percentage points higher. Please refer to the Trainer’s Handbook for more information on how to avoid that situation.

If you already own a poison type, worry not. There are many ways to treat them. If you desire for the pokemon to be more of a companion or pet pokemon, there are select berries and foods that would lower their toxicity. Pokemon centers stock a reasonably charged processed form. The risk of getting poisoned by touch lessens considerably. Note, this works to a far lesser extent to venomous pokemon under the poison type umbrella such as the ekans-arbok line, stunky-stuntank line, and seviper the prime examples.
Most poison types do not secrete their poison unless startled or in a heightened and excitable state. Trainers should practice caution and approach their pokemon when they feel most at ease. Bonding with them is the quickest way to let their guard down so they won’t harm their trainers.

If what the trainers desire is a more potent poison for battling purposes, as is the case with lessening it, there are select foods that raise the toxicity of their attacks and secretions. Pokemon such as the croagnuk-toxicroak line grow more aggressive the more posion they have to produce and as such trainers should take consideration to the amount they feed their pokemon. There are restrictions and laws set in place for trainers who over feed and raise the toxicity levels above the regulation line. Those are heavily fined and in worst cases, the pokemon is confiscated.

All in all, poison types can run from between a lovable pet or a formidable battling pokemon, and they should be cared for in a responsible and loving way.
