Corrode reduces defence by half and takes away 1%(of max HP) +1 point per turn.

Poison takes away 5% of max HP +1 per turn(so if enemy's M.HP is 100 then 5% is 5 so poison deals 6 damage). I also noticed that poison does not go away by itself, can only be cured.

It's hard to notice the effect those status effects do, sadly, but just in two turns enemy loses 10% of their max HP on top of you and your team hitting them so they are not that bad.

You probably meant Dissolve though, as Contaminate gives that. Dissolve is even better, it reduces defence by half and takes away 20% of max.HP per turn(you read that right, 20%, 5 turns and enemy is a toast if you keep inflicting it).
