Toxic is widely used for its ability to wear down bulky opponents and is often a staple in stall and defensive strategies. Notably, when used by a Poison-type Pokémon, Toxic's accuracy becomes 100%. It is also one of the few moves that can affect Steel-type Pokémon when used by a Pokémon with the Corrosion ability.
