Toxic-Thread Move Detail
Toxic Thread is a Poison-type status move with no power or accuracy value because it always hits. When used, it not only poisons the target but also lowers the target's Speed stat by one stage. This combination makes Toxic Thread a strategic move, useful for disrupting the opponent's momentum and gradually wearing them down while simultaneously making them easier to outspeed. It is exclusive to a select few Pokémon, making it a niche but valuable asset in battles where controlling the opponent's stats is crucial.
