'''Poison Gas''' (Japanese: '''どくガス''' ''Poison Gas'') is a non-damaging {{type|Poison}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]].


==Effect==
==Effect==
===Generation I to IV===
===Generation I===
Poison Gas {{status|Poison|poisons}} the target and has an accuracy of 55. Poison Gas cannot poison the target if it has a {{m|Substitute}}, already has a major status ailment, or is a {{t|Poison}}- or {{type2|Steel}}. Poison Gas targets one opponent in Double Battles.
Poison Gas {{status|poison}}s the target and has an accuracy of 55%.
 
===Generation II===
In the Generation II [[core series]] games, when an in-game opponent outside of the {{gdis|Battle Tower|II}} uses Poison Gas, the move has a 25% chance to fail in addition to its normal chance to miss.
 
===Generations III to IV===
Poison Gas targets one Pokémon in [[Double Battle]]s.


===Generation V===
===Generation V===
Poison gas' Accuracy is increased to 85 and now targets all opponents in Double Battles and all adjacent opponents in Triple Battles.
Poison Gas's [[accuracy]] is increased to 80% and now targets all adjacent opponents in [[Double Battle|Double]] and [[Triple Battle]]s.
 
===Generation VI onwards===
Poison Gas's accuracy changed from 80% to 90%.
 
Poison Gas can also be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Contest Spectacular combination]], causing {{m|Hex}}, {{m|Venom Drench}} and {{m|Venoshock}} to give an extra three appeal points if used in the next turn.
 
If powered up by a [[Poisonium Z]] into Z-Poison Gas, the user's {{stat|Defense}} stat rises by one stage.

Poison Gas (Japanese: どくガス Poison Gas) is a non-damaging Poison-type move introduced in Generation I.

Effect

Generation I

Poison Gas poisons the target and has an accuracy of 55%.

Generation II

In the Generation II core series games, when an in-game opponent outside of the Battle Tower uses Poison Gas, the move has a 25% chance to fail in addition to its normal chance to miss.

Generations III to IV

Poison Gas targets one Pokémon in Double Battles.

Generation V

Poison Gas's accuracy is increased to 80% and now targets all adjacent opponents in Double and Triple Battles.

Generation VI onwards

Poison Gas's accuracy changed from 80% to 90%.

Poison Gas can also be used as part of a Contest Spectacular combination, causing Hex, Venom Drench and Venoshock to give an extra three appeal points if used in the next turn.

If powered up by a Poisonium Z into Z-Poison Gas, the user's Defense stat rises by one stage.
