Not another spring/easter event thread
Ridiculous amount of threads... anyway actual question time. Is there any situation in Pokemon Go in which poison does a better job than any other weakness? I have some poison Tentacruels and Gengars but everytime I know something is weak to Poison, its also weak to a better pokemon.

There will most likely always be another way to take down a mon, Poison is a little under powered as a type due to lower stats. This was balanced in main series by battle status afflictions which were common for them to learn.
As far as PoGo is concerned:
Fairy and Grass are only types weak to Poison moves. Grass can easily be taken by higher CP fire types and Fairy types got a Nerf with CP update few months ago. As of now Poison type is not a specialist for gym battles, but can be a neautral damage generalist.
I have 2 high cp Muks, one for attacking, one for defending. Muk is a bulky generalist attacker and a fairly bulky defender. Obviously he has his weaknesses on defense, but everything does. I like sticking him in gyms where he can be annoying, where people might try and dedicate a single pokemon to him. But like so many pokemon, the poison types suffer from their low cps.
