How does the meta change?

That's dumb. Nitrogen isn't poisonous. It even makes up about 80% of our atmosphere.
Why would it be a poison type move?
>>26707495
I think he's implying the Nitrogen would be Liquid Nitrogen, so cold ass balls
>>26707463
Fairy gets btfo

Why should a poison move have a 30% chance to freeze when all ice type moves that can freeze only have 10%?
>>26707463
The reason Scald is so good is because the one type that can take burns, Fire-types, are hesitant to switch in to Scald. It's a Catch-22 move. The only thing safe are status absorbers and Volcanion, which not every team will carry.
Your idea is ruined be the Steel-type that every teaam should be covering, plus the fact that Poison is just a bad attacking type compared to Water.
Better example is a Fire-, Fighting-, Steel-, or Rock-type move that freezes at 30%. There's others like a Ground-type move that inflicts Poison, but the point is that you force them into a situation where their immunity to that hazard has no safe switch.

Why should a water move have a 30% chance to burn when most fire type moves that can freeze only gave 10%?

How dare you use my argument against me!
>>26707463
Why would a liquid nitrogen move be poison and not ice?
>>26711642
Because poison as a type is just a catch all term for things like chemicals and all that.
Same with grass being "plants".
>Liquid nitrogen
>Liquid
Oh God, I'm having PTSD ofthatthread.
>>26711585
Wrong answer, you were looking for "Lava Plume"
>>26711642
Because science and shit is needed to liquify nitrogen.
trying to remember moves with chemical-ish names
I can only think of Acid, Acid Spray, and Gastro Acid
am I missing any
>>26711670
I'm trying to think of one that matches that description tho.
Like, its for pollution and actual poison as far as I can tell.
>>26711799
Even then, I think the implication is that those are stomach acids.
