Poison Barb was introduced as a Pokémon Tool card in the Pokémon Trading Card Game during the English Sun & Moon Series (the Japanese Sun & Moon Era) in the Sun & Moon expansion. When this Trainer card is attached to the player's Active Pokémon, if an opponent deals damage to that Pokémon, the Attacking Pokémon is now Poisoned.
