Poison-Sting Move Detail

Poison Sting is a Poison-type move with 15 power and 100% accuracy. It has a 30% chance of poisoning the target, inflicting damage over time through the Poison status condition. Poison Sting is one of the earliest Poison-type moves available to many Pokémon, often utilized in the early stages of the game. While its base power is relatively low, its potential to poison the opponent makes it a valuable tool in certain strategies, especially in battles where wearing down the enemy over time is advantageous.
