>>56379393I was disappointed and underwhelmed at first because Venoshock seems like a weak move and most importantly doesn't have a chance at poisoning the foe unlike most other poison type moves... but now looking back I think it would have been a great setup to, for example, use Toxic Spikes and then hit opponents with Venoshock (to take advantage of the power boost)
>>56380491thanks for trying to rationalize it and I agree with the comparison to Cut
to answer your question
>Also, whats your thoughts on the move toxic and how its able to be taught to nearly every pokemon?I always thought it was a dumb idea on Game Freak's part and it made little sense to have almost every Pokemon be able to learn Toxic in the first place
I'm glad that in newer gens Toxic's distribution is limited to mostly poison type mons (which has the additional effect of making poison a more exclusive type)
