Solgaleo

Solgaleo is completely immune to Poison type attacks thanks to its super defensive Steel type! Not only that, but Solgaleo is a Psychic type Pokemon with a lot of moves that hit Poison type Pokemon for super effective damage.

A powerful Legendary Pokemon, Solgaleo has great stats and a great movepool. Solgaleo has a range of physical and special Psychic type moves to crush any Poison Pokémon, but it also gets Ground type move, Earthquake!

Solgaleo has every one of Poison type's weaknesses covered, and with an immunity to Poison type as well!

One of the best cat Pokemon, Solgaleo is a fantastic choice of Pokemon to use against Poison type Pokemon.

Its strong design theme really show off this Pokemon's strong points, making it look every bit the regal and majestic lion that it is!

Its advantageous type match-up against Poison type Pokemon, its balanced stats which mean it can use physical or special attacks, and terrifying power make it the best Pokemon to use against Poison type Pokemon!

Zygarde Complete Forme

Zygarde Complete Forme is the most powerful form of the Legendary Pokemon Zygarde.

One of the strongest Legendary Pokemon featured in any of the Pokémon games, Zygarde is one of the Ground types that are brilliant options to use against Poison types.

Zygarde Complete Form has all around fantastic stats, and it gets a whole slew of powerful Ground type attacks to use against Poison types.

If that wasn't enough, it even gets Psychic attack Zen Headass, a rare physical Psychic move making use of its great Attack stat, to target both of the Poison type Pokémon weaknesses!

Zygarde takes the second spot on this list only because it doesn't have an immunity to Poison types like Solgaleo!

Metagross

Metagross is a truly fantastic choice of Pokemon to use against Poison type Pokemon. A powerful Pokemon anyway, being a Steel type Pokemon gives Metagross a complete immunity to Poison type Pokemon.

Coupled with its powerful Attack stat, Metagross is a great example of a Psychic type physical attacker.

It even gets some powerful Ground type attacks like Bulldoze and Stomping Tantrum to deal with Poison types with resistance to Psychic types.

Metagross has a unique and alien look, making it stand out from the competition. This is a powerful Pokemon that looks powerful.

Metagross can even Mega Evolve into the powerful Mega Metagross, boosting its power and utility even further!

Garchomp

One of the best Ground type Pokemon, Garchomp is an easy choice to use against Poison type Pokemon. As a Ground type Pokémon it takes half damage from Poison type attacks, and gets STAB for devastating Ground type moves like Earthquake.

A pseudo-Legendary Pokemon, Garchomp has great stats all around, meaning it can easily make use of its advantageous type match-up against Poison types.

Not content with merely being an all around great Pokemon, Garchomp can also Mega Evolve into the seriously cool Mega Garchomp.

Claydol

Claydol has the unique type combination of Ground and Psychic type, something no other Pokemon family has!

That makes Claydol perfect for taking down Poison type Pokemon as it gets STAB for super effective damage with both of Poison type's weaknesses using powerful moves like Extrasensory and Earth Power!

Claydol doesn't have the most powerful attacking stats, but it makes a great Ground type special attacker, which is great since many Ground type Pokemon lean more heavily into the Attack stat.

All this combined with its truly unusual look means Claydol is a Pokemon that makes a statement.

Nidoking / Nidoqueen

Nidoking and Nidoqueen are great choices to use against other Poison type Pokemon because they're Ground and Poison dual type Pokemon.

Nidoking is a personal favorite with its spiky, almost dinosaur-like design, with the utility to match its cool look.

Nidoking and Nidoqueen's Poison typing means they can't be poisoned themselves and don't have to worry about Toxic Spikes, while their Ground type means they can dish out double damage against other Poison type Pokemon.

With a mixture of physical and special Ground type moves available to them, Nidoking and Nidoqueen offer a decent option for fighting against Poison type Pokemon.

Since they get a whole slew of other Pokemon types in their moveset, Nidoking and Nidoqueen make a great choice in many situations!

A regional variant of Dugtrio, Alolan Dugtrio is a solid option for dealing with Poison type Pokémon thanks to being a Steel type Pokemon with an immunity to Poison moves as well as the Poison status effect.

Sporting a fabulous new head of hair, Alolan Dugtrio is a useful and stylish option when it comes time to detox!

With access to a range of fantastic Ground type moves including Earthquake, Alolan Dugtrio is a really good option for dealing super effective damage to Poison types!

Clodsire

Dopey-cute and with a natural immunity to the Poison status effect as well as being able to remove Toxic Spikes, Clodsire is a good choice to use against its fellow Poison type Pokemon.
