Toxic Debris is an ability introduced in Generation IX. This unique ability activates when the Pokémon with Toxic Debris takes damage from a physical attack. Upon activation, it scatters Toxic Spikes on the opponent's side of the field. Toxic Spikes poison the opposing Pokémon that switch in, with repeated layers increasing the poison severity from regular poison to badly poisoned status.
Effects of Toxic Debris: 1. Damage Activation: The ability activates only when the user takes damage from a physical attack, not special attacks or indirect damage like status conditions. 2. Toxic Spikes Dispersion: When triggered, Toxic Debris disperses a single layer of Toxic Spikes. If it activates again while Toxic Spikes already exist, a second layer will be added, escalating the poisoning effect. 3. Team Synergy: This ability provides strategic advantages for teams focused on wearing down opponents through status conditions and entry hazards.
