Collector Insights

Poison Barb is an Item card from the Sun & Moon Promos set, released on November 1, 2016. It is a Promo rarity card designed by artist Toyste Beach. The card’s flavor text describes a conditional effect where the Attacking Pokémon becomes Poisoned if the Pokémon it is attached to is the Active Pokémon and is damaged by an opponent’s attack, even if the attached Pokémon is Knocked Out. This ability applies specifically when the attached Pokémon is the Active one, triggering the Poisoned status on the attacker. The card does not have any listed attacks or HP values, focusing instead on its unique interaction rule. Its role as an Item type suggests it functions as a support card rather than a direct attacker. The card’s design emphasizes strategic gameplay through its conditional effect, which can influence battle dynamics in specific scenarios. This description adheres strictly to the provided data without adding speculative details or external context.

If the Pokémon this card is attached to is your Active Pokémon and is damaged by an opponent's attack (even if this Pokémon is Knocked Out), the Attacking Pokémon is now Poisoned.
