The sound is listed from Pokemon Stadium, the Nintendo 64 battle game where Pokemon attacks were presented with larger, more dramatic effects than on handheld. Poison type moves have long relied on hissing gas and bubbling clouds to show damage that lingers after the hit, and this short clip captures that idea in audio form. Clips like it later circulated on soundboards for quick reuse, valued because the toxic meaning reads instantly in Let's Plays, battle reenactments, machinima and meme edits without needing any on screen explanation or dialogue.
About this sound
Noxious Smog is a short toxic gas sound effect from Pokemon Stadium, used for poison attacks, choking hazards and gross status effect moments in edits.
Noxious Smog is a brief, noxious hissing burst that sounds like poison gas escaping in a thick cloud. The effect has a sputtering, chemical edge, starting with a pressurised spray and dissolving into a murky fizzle that suggests something toxic filling the air. It lasts just a couple of seconds, but the unpleasant texture makes the danger feel immediate even without a visual. In a video or game edit, it instantly signals contamination, a poisoned character, or a nasty attack landing, turning a simple puff of smoke into something viewers can almost smell.
