Perish Song (Japanese: ほろびのうた Perish Song) is a non-damaging Normal-type move introduced in Generation II.

Effect

All Pokémon on the field when Perish Song is used gain a perish count, except Pokémon with the Ability Soundproof and Pokémon that already have a perish count. Starting at 4 on the turn Perish Song is used, the perish count decreases by 1 at the end of each turn (including the turn Perish Song is used in). When a Pokémon's perish count reaches 0, it faints.

If an affected Pokémon switches out with Baton Pass, the perish count will be transferred to the Pokémon switched in, even if it has the Ability Soundproof. If it switches out in any other way, neither it nor the switched in Pokémon will have a perish count.

In Rotation Battles, if the Pokémon is rotated out, the perish count remains but does not decrease until it is rotated back in.

Since it does not do damage, Perish Song is unaffected by items such as the Focus Sash and Abilities such as Magic Guard and Sturdy.

Generation II

If the perish count of multiple Pokémon on the field reaches 0 at the end of a turn, they will faint simultaneously (but messages and animations show up one after another).

Generation III onward

If the perish count of multiple Pokémon on the field reaches 0 at the end of a turn, they will now faint in the same order they would move in.

Any Pokémon in the player's Rescue Party affected by Perish Song will faint in 3 turns. However, it can be prevented by entering the stairs to the next floor or by sending home an affected partner before the third turn. It can also be prevented via any move, Ability, or item that heals all status effects (as opposed to a particular status effect), such as Heal Bell, Shed Skin, or a Heal Seed.
