Imprison (Japanese: ふういん Seal) is a non-damaging Psychic-type move introduced in Generation III.
Effect
Generation III
Imprison prevents all opponents from using any move which is also known by the user. The effect of Imprison lasts until the user switches out or faints. If the user's moveset changes while Imprison is in effect (such as by Mimic, Sketch or Transform), opponents are prevented from using the new moves.
If the target of this move runs out of PP of the rest of its usable moves, it will Struggle.
In Double Battles, the move targets the user and affects both opponents.
Generation IV
Imprison will fail if no opponent possesses a move the user knows at the time Imprison is used.
Generation V
Imprison will still execute even if no opponent has a move the user knows; though it has no immediate effect in such a case, if the opponent is able to change its moveset (e.g. Mimic, Sketch, or Transform) or switches out for a different Pokémon, it will be prevented from using the user's moves.
Imprison can now be affected by Snatch.
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon
In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games, Imprison will afflict the target with a Paused status.
