What is the interaction between toxic spikes and misty terrain?

Just curious about this one. What happens if one managed to set up two layers of toxic spikes and an enemy Tapu Fini (I think that’s the one) comes in after the toxic spikes were laid? Would any grounded Pokemon that switches in while the terrain is in effect get poisoned or not? Does the terrain protect from status conditions from moves only or does it protect from anything that causes status?

Ok so I tested this on the db server, but since saving replays currently doesn’t work, I don’t have the replay. Anyway, NebbyY helped me test this out (thank you, Nebby!). So what happened was he sent out Toxapex and used Toxic Spikes twice while my Dragapult was in the battle. I then switched to Tapu Fini. Turns out, the Toxic Spikes acted before Misty Terrain, badly poisoning my Tapu Fini. If you want the sets, here they are:

Tapu Fini @ LeftoversAbility: Misty SurgeEVs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 SpeTimid NatureIVs: 0 Atk- Aqua Ring- Defog- Dazzling Gleam- Scald

Dragapult @ Life OrbAbility: InfiltratorEVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 SpeTimid NatureIVs: 0 Atk- Dragon Pulse- Fire Blast- Shadow Ball- Surf

(Don’t mind the move sets, I was just putting something together in like 2 minutes so I could test this.)

Hope this helps! :)
