Toxic Thread is a Poison-type move introduced in Generation VII. It is exclusive to Spinarak and Ariados.

In-Game Description

The user shoots poisonous threads at all opponents, and lowers their Speed stat.

Effect

Toxic Thread poisons all opponents and lowers their Speed stat by one stage. Both effects are independent from each other; each target's Speed is still lowered even if it cannot be poisoned (such as if it is a Steel-type or it already has a status condition), and each target is still poisoned even if their Speed cannot be lowered (due to Clear Body or if the stat is already at -6 stages).

If the user is rallied, Toxic Thread also increases the user's speed by one stage.
