Toxic Spikes lays a trap of poisonous spikes around the foe, which poisons pokemon switching in to the opposing field. If it was used more than once, incoming pokemon will be badly poisoned.
The move will not cause damage to any raised
pokemon (Flying types or Levitators without Gravity effects), nor Poison types, Steel types or those with the abilities Immunity or Magic Guard.
Toxic Spikes can be cleared from the field by the moves Rapid Spin (around the user) or Defog (around the target). Poison type pokemon (that are not raised
) will absorb the spikes upon switching in, also removing their effect.
