What is the Poison Touch Ability in Pokémon?

Poison Touch is an Ability in the Pokémon franchise that has a useful benefit in combat. When a Pokémon with the Poison Touch Ability attacks an opponent, there is a slight chance that their foe will gain the Poison Status Effect. A poisoned Pokémon will continuously take damage throughout the battle unless healed of this Status Effect, giving the Poison Touch holder a huge leg up.

The chance of an opponent gaining the Poison Status Effect is 30% per hit. This chance applies to each hit when the wielder has a multi-attack move. This can be used to the player's advantage in battle unless they are on the opposing side.
