Corrosion

Corrosion is a unique ability in the Pokémon series, which enables the user to inflict the poison status condition on Steel- and Poison-type Pokémon, which are normally immune to being poisoned. This makes Corrosion particularly valuable in competitive play, allowing for more strategic options against otherwise challenging opponents.

Key Effects:

• Bypasses Immunities: Allows the user to poison Steel- and Poison-type Pokémon, which are typically immune to poison status conditions.
• Expanded Move Utility: Moves that poison, such as Toxic, can affect a broader range of Pokémon when used by a Pokémon with Corrosion.

Notable Users:

• Salandit and its evolution Salazzle are the primary Pokémon known to possess the Corrosion ability. This contributes to their niche roles in team strategies, allowing them to cripple defensive walls that would otherwise block poison attempts.

Strategic Applications:

• Status Spread: Using Toxic in conjunction with Corrosion can dramatically affect the battlefield
