Poisoning Steel-Types??

I know you can’tDIRECTLYpoison Steel-type Pokemon, but what aboutINDIRECTLY?? How about through Trick with Toxic orb or Fling (since Fling is Dark-Type). If these work, please tell me and can anyone tell me any other ways.

There is only one way to do it with one Pokemon: Kecleon.

An example of doing it is in this scene:

Lucario used Toxic!Kecleon was badly poisoned!Kecleon used Thunderbolt!Kecleon is hurt by poison!Lucario used Iron Tail!Kecleon’s Color change made it the steel type!

…..Other than a battle somewhat like this, it’s impossible to poison a Steel type.

Well there is other ways too. 1. Have a steel type pokemon use toxic on gardevoir. One of its abilties makes it so that if its poisoned then the opponents also poisoned. I know this works cause i once did it on a geodude. 2. Have the opponent hold the ring target. It lets moves that don’t effect it hurt the pokemon. 3. have a golduck on your team and read the following:

A wild klink appeared!

golduck used soak! Klink is now a water type!

With this strategy you can change the opponents steel type into a water type, making it able to take poison type moves. Hope this helps!
