magic guard stops the effects of all entry hazards iirc

 

[iDunno]

really? I've never had that problem before, though. I was under the impression that it just stopped passive damage.

 

[undisputed]

yeah, nope, alakazam doesn't get toxiced from toxic spikes.

 

[ΩDonut]

Yeah, Alakazam should've been poisoned by Toxic Spikes. Magic Guard Pokemon not getting poisoned by Toxic Spikes is a bug that was fixed in PO 1.30, but for whatever reason the Smogon server has not been updated even though it's been weeks since 1.30 came out.

look at around 4:39; the Magic Guard Clefable doesn't get poisoned.
Of course, this is Gen 4, but I'd have to find another one for gen 5. I do remember seeing a thread about this on the PO forums though...
edit:
here is the thread

according to Professor Oak, Toxic Spikes do poison Magic Guard pokes in the 5th gen.

 

[ΩDonut]

Just to be 100% sure, I tested it in-game (using Skill Swap to get Magic Bounce on a wild Pokemon in order to get Toxic Spikes on my side). Magic Guard does not block poisoning of Magic Guard Pokemon in 5th gen, only 4th.
