Here's why you can't intentionally poison your own Pokémon:
* Gameplay Mechanics: Poisoning is a detrimental status condition that deals damage over time. It's designed to be a disadvantage, not a strategic advantage.
* Pokémon Ethics: The Pokémon world emphasizes a strong bond between trainers and their Pokémon. Poisoning your own Pokémon would go against the spirit of this bond.
If you're trying to understand how poisoning works in battles, here's a quick summary:
* Moves: Some Pokémon moves inflict poison, like Poison Sting or Toxic.
* Abilities: Certain abilities, like Poison Point, can poison opponents when they make contact.
* Status Condition: Poisoned Pokémon take a small amount of damage at the end of each turn.
