The 5 best Poison-type Pokemon from the Sinnoh region
5) Skuntank
Skuntank is often overlooked in the grand scheme of things, but it is a formidable Poison-type Pokemon from the Sinnoh region. It has solid HP at 103, Attack at 93, and speed at 84. If you train up its HP, you'll be able to withstand some hits while you poison your foes and use Dark-type moves with Same Type Attack Bonus.
4) Toxicroak
Toxicroak is a fierce Poison/Fighting-type Pokemon from Sinnoh. It only has three weaknesses because of its dual Fighting-typing. With decent HP and Speed at 83 and 85, respectively, it comes in with a base Attack of 106. It has access to some incredible coverage moves, such as the elemental punches and, of course, Poison-type attacks that will drain opposing health over time.
3) Crobat
Crobat is one of the best Flying-type Pokemon and one of the best Poison-type Pokemon. It is insanely fast with a base Speed stat of 130. That will guarantee the first attack nearly every time. Use that to get in a super-effective hit, or use a move that will surely poison your enemy.
2) Roserade
Roserade is one of many Grass/Poison-type Pokemon in the franchise. Introduced as the evolved form of Roselia in Generation IV, Roserade immediately became a top-tier Poison-type. It has a base Speed of 90, Special Defense of 105, and Special Attack at 125. It can take away health with Poison-moves and do the same to heal itself with several Grass-type attacks.
1) Gengar
Gengar is one of the most powerful Pokemon of all time. As a Ghost/Poison-type, it comes with a few more weaknesses than you'd like, but it more than makes up for it with its power. Look at its 110 base Speed and 130 Special Attack. Gengar has plenty of ways to sap enemies' health and leave them wishing they never took the battle in the first place.
