Status

A status move (Japanese: 変化技 status move) is one of the three categories of moves and the only one that does not inflict damage. In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky, status moves are referred to as Other.

Status moves include moves that change the weather, inflict status conditions, or raise or lower the stats of a Pokémon, among other effects.

The majority of Normal- and Psychic-type moves, as well as the only ???-type move (prior to Generation V, when the type stopped existing), are in this category. Very few moves of the other 16 types are status moves; for example, there is only one Dragon-type status move, and there are only two Fire-type status moves.
