Status condition (Mystery Dungeon)
This article is incomplete. Please feel free to edit this article to add missing information and complete it. |
Status ailments and status conditions are considered differently in the Mystery Dungeon series compared to the core series (in which the two terms are synonymous). Whereas in the core series a Pokémon can only be afflicted with one major status condition and a number of volatile minor status ailments, the Mystery Dungeon series allows Pokémon to be afflicted by one status in each of a number of status condition groups. Having said that, not all status conditions are adverse effects (i.e. ailments), and status ailments can be caused by factors other than status conditions.

Status ailments
Status ailments are adverse effects that are placed on a Pokémon. They make up a large subset of status conditions, but only the following categories of conditions are considered ailments:
- Sleep-related conditions (Asleep, Nightmare, Yawning), except Sleepless and Napping
- Major status conditions (Burned, Poisoned, Badly Poisoned, Paralyzed)
- Conditions affecting mobility (Frozen, Leg Hold, Wrapped by Foe, Wrapped Around Foe, Petrified, Constriction), except Ingrain
- Volatile status conditions (Cringing, Confused, Paused, Cowering, Taunted, Encore, and Infatuated)
- Cursed and Decoy, but not Snatch
- Leech Seed, but not Destiny Bond
- Accuracy-related conditions (Whiffer), but not Sure Shot, Set Damage, and Focus Energy
- Visibility-related conditions that treat allies as foes (Blinker, Cross-Eyed), except Eyedrops
- Muzzled
- Exposed
- Perish Song
In addition, loss of movement speed and having a sealed move are also ailments, neither of which are considered conditions. A Pokémon must have at least one ailment in order for healing to take effect, and when a Pokémon is healed (such as from items, Aromatherapy, Heal Bell, or stepping on Wonder Tiles), the Pokémon no longer suffers from a status in any of these categories (except Leech Seed, which is not cured). Furthermore, all sealed moves are no longer sealed, and all reductions in movement speed is removed.
A Pokémon with the Natural Cure Ability will have an ailment for at most 5 turns (even for those that are indefinite in duration, such as Burn), while a Pokémon with the Self-Curer IQ skill will have an ailment status duration halved.
Status conditions
In addition to ailments, there are other groupings of status conditions, such as from the effects of moves (such as the Sky Attack status, which is a self-inflicted condition due to the use of Sky Attack), IQ skills (such as the Pierce status from Pierce Thrower), and items (such as Mobile from the Mobile Orb).
There are 5 sleep-related conditions in this category, though only Asleep/Sleep, Napping, and Nightmare are considered ailments. A Pokémon with the Early Bird Ability will have the duration of Asleep, Napping, and Nightmare statuses halved. Pokémon that have Insomnia ability will be immune to these status conditions.

Sleepless | ✗ | ✓ | The Pokémon cannot be inflicted with any other sleep-related condition. Lasts for 11-12 turns (or until the Pokémon leaves the dungeon floor in Explorers of Time/Darkness/Sky).
