Can Toxic knock a Pokemon out from full HP?

Mar. 23, 2020



This is just out of curiosity. Suppose a Pokemon got poisoned by toxic and it is the last Pokemon on that player’s team and it spams its recovery move and his opponent toys with him and just lets him. So can the toxic eventually kill that player’s Pokemon from full hp? I know that eventually toxic will deal more damage than a recovery move can heal so this would just be a hypothetical scenario where the Pokemon in question managed to maintain full hp even with the toxic wearing it down after like four turns. I’m asking this for both gen 6 and 7

I did some poking around and basically found that in all generations, the cap for Toxic is 15/16 HP. Therefore, Toxic can’t KO from full HP. :P

The only way a Pokemon could stall 15/16 Damage (Without Rest, which would remove Bad Poison) is to be in a Double Battle and use Recover while an ally Heal Pulses it. :P

Nevertheless, if the Badly Poisoned Pokemon would be damaged by any Trapping/Weather damaging effect, it could lose 100% HP in one turn. :P
