Toxic Thread (どくのいと, Toxic Thread) is a non-damaging Poison-type move introduced in Gen VII. It is the signature move of Spinarak and Ariados.
Effects[]
Toxic Thread poisons the target and lowers its Speed stat by one stage. Both effects are independent from each other and the target's Speed is still lowered if they are immune to Poison. If powered up by a Poisonium Z into Z-Toxic Thread, the user's Speed stat is raised by one stage.
