Compare impact damage, trails and traps

Sludge poisons on impact, while Poison Sting launches a fast sting that can poison enemies. Toxic leaves lingering pools that apply severe poison to enemies crossing them. Toxic Spikes places traps that burst and apply severe poison. Plan around where enemies will meet those attacks; Toxic and Toxic Spikes both use Synthesis for their evolution recipes. Acid Spray adds a bouncing attack that poisons enemies and evolves into Sludge Wave with Synthesis.

Toxic Swamp: the Poison Rift arena

Poison pools cut across the swamp. Keep your escape route on dry ground.

Three legendaries can use Toxic Swamp: Eternatus, Munkidori and Fezandipiti. All three have a second type: Dragon, Psychic and Fairy respectively. Each can also use its other type’s arena, while keeping both types for damage matchups.

Poison and run weather

Poison has no direct weather damage boost in the checked code. Sandstorm and snowfall penalties depend on the partner’s complete typing, not on whether its attacks can poison an enemy.

WeatherAttack damage of this typeAdditional effect
Sandstorm×1Weather damage unless the partner also has Rock, Ground or Steel.
Snowfall×1Weather damage and up to 10% slower movement unless the partner has Ice as its other type.

Multipliers shown at full weather intensity; they transition gradually as weather starts and ends. ×1 means no change to this attack type’s damage. Weather protection checks both of the partner’s types.

Poison-type questions

What is Poison super effective against in PokéSurvivor?

Poison deals ×1.6 to Grass and Fairy as single defending types. Against Grass / Fairy, the two advantages combine up to the ×2.4 cap.

Can Poison attacks damage Steel Pokémon?

Yes. The official type chart gives Poison attacks a ×0.3 multiplier against pure Steel. This describes attack damage, not whether a particular status effect can be applied.

How do Poison moves evolve?

Reach maximum move level, obtain its card and choose the evolution when offered. Sludge → Sludge Bomb (Power); Poison Sting → Poison Jab (Sprint); Toxic → Poison Gas (Synthesis); Toxic Spikes → Gunk Shot (Synthesis); Acid Spray → Sludge Wave (Synthesis).

Is base cooldown the final attack interval?

No. Upgrades modify cooldown. Charge time, duration and behavior also depend on the move; the listed base values come from the checked code and do not guarantee a final attack cadence.
