Welcome to our Poison-type Pokémon coloring pages!
Poison Pokémon are known for their vibrant, often purple or green designs, representing toxicity or venom. They range from creepy-cute bugs to sly, dangerous creatures, providing a lot of visual variety for coloring.
Poison-types are strong against Grass- and Fairy-type Pokémon, but weak against Ground- and Psychic-type moves. Some have special abilities like Poison Point, which can poison attackers, or Corrosion, which allows them to poison even Steel-types, giving them unique tactical advantages.
Poison-type Pokémon are often sneaky and strategic, relying on status moves and gradual damage rather than raw power. While their offensive options were historically limited, they excel at weakening opponents over time with moves like Toxic and Venoshock.
In Generations 1–3, all Poison-type moves were categorized as Physical.
