Drapion LV.X – Darkness – HP130
Level-Up

Poke-Power: Triple Poison
You can use this Power once during your turn. Flip a coin, if heads 1 of your opponent's Active Pokemon is now Poisoned. In between turns, place 3 damage counters on the Poisoned Pokemon instead of 1. This Power can't be used if this Pokemon is affected by a Special Condition.

[D][D][C][C] Snipe Tail: 40 damage. This attack also does 40 damage to 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokemon. The Defending Pokemon can't retreat during your opponent's next turn.

Weakness: Psychic (x2)
Resistance: none
Retreat: 3

The Power is mainly what I'm looking at.

Say I declare Triple Poison, thus making my opponent poisoned, and making them take 3 damage counters in between turns. Now, is this strictly an effect from Triple Poison only, or can I use something else to poison it and have it take three damage counters?

Any help would be appreciated.
 
I think it's strictly an effect. The only other way to poison for 3 damage counters would be to have 2 Weezings on the bench.
 
I would assume it's the same as Torrid Wave; the 3 damage counters is an effect on that particular Poison condition.
 
The Power is the only thing that indicates the special boost in poison-power.
So no, only the Power would poison your opponent's active Pokemon to add 2 damage counters in between turns.
But once this comes out in English, they may change the wording so we can't exactly be 100% sure of anything yet.
 
But I believe you can replace an already Poisoned Pokemon with Triple Poison.

Ex: You poison a Pokemon with Toxicroak. Next turn you use the power and flip heads. NOW your opponents Pokemon takes 3 damage counters.
