A simple tool that turns damage into a poison effect for your active Pokemon.
What this card does

Poison Barb
If the Pokémon this card is attached to is your Active Pokémon and is damaged by an attack from your opponent's Pokémon, the Attacking Pokémon is now Poisoned.
The Poison Barb changes the outcome of an attack by applying a status condition. This means the opponent's Pokemon will take extra damage in future turns without them needing to do anything special.
