Love this old bitch.

I feel like a lot of people who say they love Poison-type actually just love the color purple.

>>58255874 (OP)
>What's your favorite Poison-type?
scolipede
>Is Poison your favorite type?
not really, i think fire outdoes it
>Ever do a mono-poison run?
no, but i posted a monotype poison team in a reecnt thread. it could be fun
>Who's your favorite Poison-type specialist?
roxie, both because or her characterization and design, and because scolipede is her ace/signature pokemon or whatever it's called
>Do you prefer natural poison types like plants and bugs? Or do you prefer pollution based ones?
i have no preference desu, both have created amazing desings. i don't love that bug and poison overlap so frequently, though.

>Drapion!

>I haven't done a single mono-type run yet.
>Petrel! But for a more "classic" specialist, I would go for Koga.
>I don't have a preference honestly.

>Favorite Poison-type
Weezing. The Galarian form is okay, but the original is just so perfect. Runner-up is probably Nidoking, Crobat, or Alolan Muk.
>Is Poison your favorite type?
No. But close.
>Mono Poison run
Gonna do one in Ultra Sun soon
>Best specialist
Agatha
>Natural or unnatural
Can't decide.

>>58255881
Cute

>>58255874 (OP)
>Arbok or Seviper
>Yes
>No
>Koga
>Natural

STILL the only Poison starter

>>58255879
>Gee Kanto, how come your mom lets you have two poison type specialists?

>>58255874 (OP)
>What's your favorite Poison-type?
Qwilfish (Johto). The regional form is cool too.
>Is Poison your favorite type?
Nah, ice.
>Ever do a mono-poison run?
In Scarlet/Violet.
>Who's your favorite Poison-type specialist?
Roxie. It's a fun theme and not brain-dead easy for an early gym.
>Do you prefer natural poison types like plants and bugs? Or do you prefer pollution based ones?
Plants, bugs and animals. Not that I dislike objectmons.

>>58255941
Bulbasaur is my favorite pokemon, but I always forget they are poison type for some reason. Like it just never registers in my mind that poison plant is the same type as poison.

>>58255874 (OP)
>>What's your favorite Poison-type?
The Zubat line
>>Is Poison your favorite type?
Close 3rd
>>Ever do a mono-poison run?
Yep, back in FireRed/LeafGreen. The team was Nidoking, Crobat, Tentacruel, Venusaur & Arbok
>>Who's your favorite Poison-type specialist?
Roxie, ofc
>>Do you prefer natural poison types like plants and bugs? Or do you prefer pollution based ones?
Natural poison.

>>58255874 (OP)
>What's your favorite Poison-type?
Weezing
>Is Poison your favorite type?
Don't gave a favorite type
>Ever do a mono-poison run?
No, only water and electric
>Who's your favorite Poison-type specialist?
Janine
>Do you prefer natural poison types like plants and bugs? Or do you prefer pollution based ones?
Pollution

>>58255874 (OP)
>Favorite Poison-type
Galarian Slowking. I have a fondness for Muk, Vileplume and Dragalge too.
>Is Poison your favorite type?
It's pretty high up for me, but no that would be Psychic, with Fire, Steel and Rock competing for second place.
>Ever do a mon-Poison run?
Once yeah.
>Who's your favorite Poison-type specialist?
Definitely Koga, his theme in Mastersex is really good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVY6TTigRaI&list=RDwVY6TTigRaI&start_radio=1
>What type of Poison-types do you prefer between natural ones or pollution based ones?
Natural ones, I'm fascinated with studying poisonous animals and I think spiders are adorable.

Munky :)

I LOVE pollution Pokemon. They are my favorites. All of them. I love Weezing, I love Muk, I love Garbodor, and I love Revavroom. The best thing 9th gen did was finally add another pollutionmon.

It's not their fault they eat poison. And produce poison. I feel like there are weird Pokemon environmentalist ethics situations in which you people protesting against cleaning up heavily polluted sites because it would destroy the local Grimer population.

Revavroom has one of my favorite Pokemon concepts in a while which is that it burns its own poison as fuel. Poison in the Pokemon universe, ironically, could be harvested as 'clean' renewable energy.

Nice thread.

>What's your favorite Poison-type?
Gengar
>Is Poison your favorite type?
I prefer ghost but its close
>Ever do a mono-poison run?
No, only dragon
>Who's your favorite Poison-type specialist?
Janine
>Do you prefer natural poison types like plants and bugs? Or do you prefer pollution based ones?
Pollution

>>58255874 (OP)
My favorite poison type is Nidoking. Does he count? He doesn't exactly fit into the same themes as other poison types (e.g. natural, pollution)

>>58255874 (OP)
>What's your favorite Poison-type?
Technically Gengar but I've never thought of him as a poison type. Muk would probably be what I'd consider my favorite poison type.
>Is Poison your favorite type?
No.
>Ever do a mono-poison run?
Once but I got bored and didn't finish it.
>Who's your favorite Poison-type specialist?
Agatha. Roxie if she doesn't count.
>Do you prefer natural poison types like plants and bugs? Or do you prefer pollution based ones?
The pollution ones like muk, weezing and swalot rank higher than the plants and bugs for me.

it’s on page 10
guess people don’t like poison types that much

>>58255937
Arbok.

Too many to pick favorites, but this bug is very cool. Bulbasaur and Nidoran are long-time favorites. Poison is definitly up there for me, I like "debuff" style play in turn based games, and Koga's ideology of using status ailments is how I like to play.
I have done all-poison runs, its very easy in gen 1 games. Right now I'm using gengar in blue version with a glitch to have him before you fight Misty. I definitly prefer bugs and plants over pollution, would lije to see even more Lizards and Snakes

>>58255874 (OP)
>Clodsire! Some honorable mentions: Crobat, Nidoking, Muk (I blame Ash for my Muk affection), Mega Beedrill, and Mega Victreebel
>No, but I do like it. I wasn’t the biggest fan of Poison types when I was a kid (except Nidoking and Crobat, always loved them), but I’ve really grown to love them as an adult. I’d say it’s probably in my top half of the types nowadays.
>I have not finished one, but that’s a good idea. Perhaps my next Gen 1 replay.
>Roxie
>I like both.

>>58258705
I hate the mechanic but I love GMax Venusaur's design so much. I wish it was the design used for Mega Venusaur instead.

>What's your favorite Poison-type?
Muk
>Is Poison your favorite type?
Grass and Bug i think i like slightly more, but Poison is cool
>Ever do a mono-poison run?
I have not done mono poison yet
>Who's your favorite Poison-type specialist?
Roxie
>Do you prefer natural poison types like plants and bugs? Or do you prefer pollution based ones?
A little of Column A and B there.

>>58255874 (OP)
>Nidoking
>No, but it gets walled by my Fave
>No, and I fear I'd have to do a FRLG run to get it done right
>Roxie
>Naturally Poisonous/Venomous

>Dex says it's a species related to Toxicroak
>Gets Poison Touch
>Toxicroak gets Dry Skin

These two are underrated

Am I the only one who thinks Pecharunt is conceptually brilliant? A cowardly, greedy little shit, but still cute, who enslaves other Pokémon with poisonous chains... I don't think we've had such a cool Pokémon in a long time.

um hewwo

>>58260531
He and his friends are all fantastic, it's heartbreaking how underrated they are. If only GF shilled them as much as the ogre and the turtle

>>58255874 (OP)
Klara will always be the hottest one

Also, Scolipede is Top 5 poison-type, glad it’s getting a mega

>>58260654
>If only GF shilled them as much as the ogre and the turtle
Yeah, with the proliferation of legendary/mythical, it seems that GF doesn't want to spend time developing their storylines.

I love big piles of trash!

>>58260694
Here's hoping we get some breadcrumbs with the new poison guy

>They give Ariados a signature move
>In fucking Sun/Moon. Gen VII. After five gens they just randomly decide to give it a new move that only it learns called Toxic Thread

They didn't buff its stats. They just gave it a new move that nothing else learns. And it's not that great.

I even used Ariados in a playthrough since then and still didn't know the move existed because Ariados doesn't learn it until level sixty-fuckng-three.

>>58260531
I like this little bastard, though I like Munkidori a bit more due to my fondness for Psychic types, I kinda wished Gamefreak played around a bit with the poisonous chains and gave us boss mons altered temporarily at least by them.
>>58261745
As someone who likes Arbok I feel ya, the Snake didn't learn a single good physical Poison move naturally up until gen 4, and it only got it at level 58 , the only other good options Arbok had were locked behind breeding with a Pokemon that wasn't even available in Johto in Seviper, and past gen 5 they moved Gunk Shot even later to level 63. Even now in gen 9, Arbok STILL only learns Gunk Shot at level 63 and it's movepool doesn't have a single good physical Poison move besides.

>>58262956
Just needs Dustox

>>58259652
same but with Blastoise

You guys hyped for Mega Dragalge? I'm apprehensive given the sketches we got from the leaks, but I really love this cool sea dragon.

>>58261860
>Munkidori
Nice to see that monkey getting some love

For some reason it took me a while to realize that Plumeria only used poison types.

Glorp glorp, I'm a Poison-type.

>>58263284
>When this Pokémon becomes angry, its pores secrete a poisonous sweat, which it sprays at its opponent's eyes.

It checks out.

>Water/Poison
>Bug/Poison
>Grass/Poison

Call me basic but these are my favorite type combos.

Golbat/Crobat is my bird. Better than any regional bird. Every single Pokemon game should have Zubats.

I skip past every regional bird I encounter so I can get to the caves.

Every Gen brings a new cool poison type, except back in Gen 3, they all were pretty boring.

>>58263492
I like Swalot a lot. It kinda exists in this weird space where its not quite a pollutionmon/objectmon but it's very similar to them in its design and appeal.

I like its pouty lips and the animation where it opens its mouth all the way is genuinely shocking if you've never seen a Swalot before.

I think I like Garbodor more, but generally I find Swalot easier to use too. Like to run it with yawn and ice beam during a playthrough.

>Garbodor gets a cool new gimmick form
>But it's for the worst gimmick which is dynamaxing

Man. A Mega would be nice.

Actually, a regional form would be fun too since Muk and Weezing got them. Maybe a form of Trubbish/Garbodor that exists only on coasts and islands so they're just made of ocean trash like discarded fishing nets and junk dumped into the ocean.

>>58260622
hi

>>58261860
>Arbok can learn Poison Fang and Poison Tail
>But only as egg moves

That's so fucking stupid, holy shit. It's a poisonous snake. Fang and tail is most of what its body is.

>>58263492
I disagree entirely, I even like Seviper somewhat in spite of what that filthy fucking schizo has done to it's image on this board.
>>58263640
Yeah Arbok not getting Poison Fang at the very least is supremely retarded, you'd think the Pokemon based on one of the most permanently pissed off snakes would bite it's opponents, but nope. Also kind of niche, but it's bizarre to me Arbok doesn't learn Roar or Snarl at the very least considering the terrifying sounds king cobras are known to produce.
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/EfiBUj4th9M

I don't know why it took me until Plumeria and fairy types existing to appreciate poison types. Poipole and Bulbasaur are my favorites.

>>58263452
Bats aren't birds
They're bugs

>Poison is my favorite type

Okay, VILLAIN!

>>58263352
The name 'Sneasler' implies the verb, 'to sneasle'.

>>58263735
Oh you're a villain alright.....just not a super one!

>>58263735
Pecharunt is NOT evil! He's just a little spoiled and has a lot to unlearn, but he's still a good boy. All he wanted was to grant wishes and earn the love of family and friends. He's too pure for his own good.

>>58263452
Agreed

big bug

>>58264863
You gotta treat em good so they can grow up big and strong.

Poison never clicked with me until gen 5 which gave me GarBROdor.
I do started to like Zubat line as well, but mostly because they are fun to use.

>>58256550
I do like the designers explore different types of using poisons.

>>58260531
Its even more. Its a Baby brained deity. Its a really great fucked up concept the more you think about it,

>>58263452
it’s amazing how crobat saved that line
they went from being the worst poison line in gen 1 to the best poison line in gen 2 because of that one additional evolution

>>58263545
Swalot is based on Stomach sickness. Its great concept.

>>58263561
I still wait for Poison/Steel type Disposalord.

>>58265032
Golbat's Poison/Flying typing is one of the best ever against Fighting types. Too bad in gen 1 there are basically no fucking Fighting type moves anyway.

Nowadays I even use both. Eviolite Golbat is underrated.

>>58263492
Gulpin is top 5 Hoennmon

>>58255892
i've changed my mind, i think poison is my favorite type lol

One of the weakest types in the game. And the fact that pretty much any Pokémon can learn Toxic (the only good poison move) doesn't help.

>>58266864
I mean

Yeah

>>58266873
>playing post gen 3 games

moff

What kind of a Poison specialist are you?

>Ninja
>Roughneck
>Biker
>Rocket Grunt
>Punk
>Bugcatcher
>Aroma Lady
>Super Nerd
>Scientist
>Worker

>>58267278
It's thinking about nefarious things you can tell

>>58263832
bully

If you love Poison types then you were probably one of those weird kids who wanted a Team Rocket game and shit.

>>58266864
>any Pokémon can learn Toxic
Gen 9 fixed this

>>58267302
Don't even think about it

>>58266985
Team Rocket all the way, through being a roughneck with a souped up bike shaped Revavroom is very tempting

>>58266985
Bug catcher

if I were a poison type gym leader/e4 member, this would be my team. I have one of these for every type, which made me realize how few electric types I like

bump

>>58263284
>>58263333
eww... leaky pours...

Is Poison type really that unpopular?

Poison specialist are fun because you usually expect a gang member or a thug but sometimes it's just

Carol

>>58255888
My favourite type is Poison
My favourite color is purple
My favourite Poison type is not purple

Did a poison type Firered run a long time ago. It was pretty boring, because Venusaur just sort of steamrolls everything either way. Weezing Only through hacking in a starter Koffing sounds like an interesting run now that I'm typing this out.

>>58261745
They gave it 10 more special defense.

>>58255874 (OP)
>What's your favorite Poison-type?
Croagunk or Roserade
>Is Poison your favorite type?
No
>Ever do a mono-poison run?
Yeah one in FRLG. Need to do another one soon
>Who's your favorite Poison-type specialist?
Plumeria. I like her tough love attitude. Plus she’s hot
>Do you prefer natural poison types like plants and bugs? Or do you prefer pollution based ones?
No real preference tbqh

>>58271750
you cannot poison budew without also changing its type

>>58271756
Well aware

>>58271756
Skill issue

>>58263735
villains be like

>>58255874 (OP)
Bros, how do we fix Seviper? Or mixed attackers in general?

>>58263640
cute!

do it
infect me

>>58266864
>pretty much any Pokémon can learn Toxic
like >>58267566 is saying, this isn't really an issue anymore.

bellossom, quagsire, breloom, vespiquen, mandibuzz, mew, umbreon, dunsparce, gliscor, houndoom, spiritomb, zoroark, bellibolt, toedscruel, terapagos

are the only non-poison types that can learn toxic in gen 9.

>>58275439
>missed trevenant, hypno, and goodra
fuark

>>58273943
regional variants are the only real way to fix older mons with horribly ineffective stat distributions. i know very little about gamefreak's history of inter-genetation stat balancing (outside of giving the pokemon a new form), but i think it's rarely (if ever) buffs rather than nerfs for the recent games.

i propose giving seviper a regional variant in gen 10 based on vipera ammodytes, or the nose-horned viper. it's a venomous species of snake native to some of the cyclades islands, where rumored to be where gen 10 is set.

i'm not sure what secondary typing would fit best, but it'd be made into a physical attacker. maybe its "horn" could justify making it the first poison/steel type after revavroom?

wikipedia says
>It is reputed to be the most dangerous of the European vipers due to its large size, long fangs (up to 13 mm) and high venom toxicity.
so its design could instead lean into giving it gigantic fangs, and making it larger and longer.

>>58275525
*where gen 10 is rumored to be set
idk how i'm so retarded that can i get halfway through rephrasing a sentence and then forget about it before hitting submit

>>58275533
>that can i
i give up

>>58275458
And Toxel is the only Poison type that can't learn it

>>58266195

>English text covers 70% of the artwork

>>58277079
Better?

>>58275525
I think an interesting idea that could be done as well is a sea snake Seviper, sea snakes have a paddle like tail that sorta looks like Seviper's blade if squint, plus Water/Poison is a relatively rare type too and Water and Poison combo together really well.
Sea snakes also have the whole silent killer thing going for them due to their poison being not only extremely dangerous, but their bites are almost painless.

>>58255874 (OP)
>What's your favorite Poison-type?
Fuck. I equally favor Seviper, Crobat, and Beedrill
>Is Poison your favorite type?
In theory absolutely but in practice I find it difficult.
>Ever do a mono-poison run?
No but I’m about ti.
>Who's your favorite Poison-type specialist?
Not sure.
>Do you prefer natural poison types like plants and bugs? Or do you prefer pollution based ones?
They both are perfectly flushed concepts.

>>58277100
Yes
>this card is only 20 bucks
Adding it to my list then
