**Haematoxopoiesis** is a [[:Types:Blood]]-typed status-afflicting move.

Its name is an allusion to [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haematopoiesis|Haematopoiesis]], the creation of blood cells by bone marrow. Haematoxopoiesis alters the process remotely and triggers a single burst of toxin production instead, poisoning the victim instantly. Due to the volume of affected blood, it's a particularly vicious degree of poisoned state, and a pokémon affected by this will take a greater hit to health each turn than a normal poisoned status would mandate, but does not count as [[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Poison_(status_ailment)#Generation_II|badly poisoned]], i.e. the damage does not //increase// each turn. Instead, it steals 1/6th of a pokémon's health each turn.

Its accuracy is affected in normal ways; immobilising the victim does not give it an accuracy of 100%, though of course then it can simply be repeated until it //does// afflict said victim.
