Effects
Toxic Thread poisons the target, and lowers its Speed by one stage.
Each effect still occurs if the other cannot, for example a Poison type Pokémon will still have its Speed reduced. Stats can be lowered to a minimum of -6 stages each.
Z-Move effects
When a Pokémon is holding Poisonium Z and uses its Z-Power, Toxic Thread turns into Z-Toxic Thread and raises Speed one stage, in addition to its usual effect as above.
