About the Poison Point ability

Poison Point is one of 112+ abilities in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. Each Pokémon has one active ability at a time, drawn from a list of 1-3 possible abilities per species (the third slot, when present, is the Hidden Ability — only accessible via Tera raids, Mass Outbreaks, or Ability Patch).

Official game text: Contact with the Pokémon may poison the attacker.

How it works: The opponent has a 30% chance of being induced with Poison when using an attack, that requires physical contact, against this Pok�mon.

How to get a Pokémon with Poison Point

If Poison Point is a regular ability (not Hidden Ability), simply catch the Pokémon and it has a 50% chance per slot of having Poison Point. You can use an Ability Capsule (50 BP at Chansey Supply) to swap between regular ability slots. If Poison Point is the Hidden Ability of one of the 1 Pokémon listed above, you'll need either:

To catch the Pokémon from a 5-star or 6-star Tera raid
To use an Ability Patch (consumable from picnic crafting / raid rewards) on a Pokémon that already has Poison Point as a regular ability
To transfer a Pokémon with Hidden Ability via Pokémon HOME from older games
