What are all the circumstances where Pokémon are immune to Spikes/Toxic Spikes?

Question

I really am struggling to understand Spike mechanics. I believe Flying types are immune, Pokémon with an Air-balloon, and Steel and Poison types are immune to Toxic Spikes. What else?

Do your Klefki have an Air-balloon, Heavy Duty Boots, or terastalize into a flying type prior to the spikes being set up? Do you have a replay of Klefki not taking Spikes damage?

Never mind, just tested it: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9monotype-1970060526
I still don’t understand Spike mechanics and will keep this question though.

I played Gen 9 Randos like a week ago and my klefki was immune to spikes too! I was confused

Huh, peculiar

Answer 1

According to Bulbapedia, these are all the different ways to avoid Spikes/Toxic Spikes as of Gen 9.

Spikes:

• Being a Flying-type or having Levitate
• Having Magic Guard
• Being under the affect of Magnet Rise
• Reflected by Magic Bounce/Magic Coat
• Having an Air Balloon
• Heavy Duty Boots

Toxic Spikes:

• Being a Flying, Poison, or Steel type
• Having Immunity, Comatose, Levitate, Magic Guard, or Leaf Guard (under harsh sunlight.)
• Being under the affect of Magnet Rise
• Having an Air Balloon
• Reflected by Magic Bounce/Magic Coat
• Heavy Duty Boots

What abilities make a Pokemon immune to all status? The only ones I can think of are leaf guard and comatose.
Also everything that makes a Pokemon immune to spikes should also make it immune to toxic spikes, except magic guard.
