{{incomplete|section|needs=What game mechanics, such as Facade and Heal Bell, are affected by all non-volatile statuses?}}
A non-volatile status condition is a status condition that remains after being [[recall|switched out]]. They can be cured by healing at a [[Pokémon Center]], specific [[status condition healing item|curative item]]s, or other ways. Wild Pokémon that are affected by a status condition are [[Catch rate|easier to catch]].

A Pokémon cannot gain non-volatile status conditions when it is affected by {{m|Safeguard}}, {{a|Leaf Guard}}, {{a|Flower Veil}}, {{a|Shields Down}}, {{a|Comatose}}, or {{m|Misty Terrain}}, nor can a Pokémon behind a {{OBP|substitute|doll}} gain status conditions, except due to {{a|Synchronize}}, {{m|Rest}}, or a held item like [[Flame Orb]] or [[Toxic Orb]]. A Pokémon will cure its status condition when affected by {{m|Haze}} (Generation I only), {{m|Rest}}, {{m|Refresh}}, {{m|Heal Bell}}, {{m|Aromatherapy}}, {{m|Psycho Shift}}, {{m|Jungle Healing}}, {{m|G-Max Sweetness}}, {{a|Natural Cure}}, {{m|Purify}}, {{m|Take Heart}}, {{m|Lunar Blessing}}, {{a|Shed Skin}}, {{a|Healer}}, {{a|Hydration}}, or [[Lum Berry]]. Player can cure any status condition of their Pokémon by using on it any of the following items: [[Full Heal]], [[Full Restore]], [[Heal Powder]], [[Pewter Crunchies]], [[Rage Candy Bar]], [[Lava Cookie]], [[Old Gateau]], [[Jubilife Muffin]], [[Casteliacone]], [[Lumiose Galette]], [[Shalour Sable]], [[Big Malasada]], [[Sacred Ash]], or [[Lum Berry]] ([[MiracleBerry]] in Generation II).

Pokémon with {{a|Guts}}, {{a|Marvel Scale}}, or {{a|Quick Feet}} will have their {{stat|Attack}}, {{stat|Defense}}, or {{stat|Speed}} increased, respectively, when affected by a status condition. Pokémon with {{a|Magic Guard}} can be afflicted by status conditions and receive their additional effects but do not take damage. In addition, the base power of {{m|Facade}} is doubled (from 70 to 140) when inflicted with paralysis, a burn, or poison.

In the Generation {{gen|II}} [[core series]] games, when an in-game opponent outside of the {{gdis|Battle Tower|II}} uses a [[status move]] that would inflict a non-volatile status condition upon the target, that move has a 25% chance to fail in addition to its normal chance to miss.<ref>[https://github.com/pret/pokegold/blob/master/engine/battle/effect_commands.asm pret/pokegold/engine/battle/effect_commands.asm]</ref>

In all games except {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, a Pokémon cannot gain a non-volatile status condition if it's already afflicted by another one, and a non-volatile status condition does not wear off automatically when the battle ends. If a Pokémon under a status condition (such as a poisoned {{p|Cascoon}}) evolves, the condition will be kept, even if the Pokémon gains a new [[type]] or [[Ability]] that would normally prevent it.

In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, all non-volatile status conditions have a set turn count and wear off after battle. If a Pokémon already has a non-volatile status condition, inflicting it with another one can override it.

There are five status conditions: Burn, Poison, Paralyze, Freeze, and Sleep, with Poison having a sub-variant that occurs when a Pokémon is "badly poisoned". In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], two new status conditions are introduced: Drowsy, which replaces Sleep, and Frostbite, which replaces Freeze. In subsequent games, Freeze and Sleep return, but Drowsy returned again in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]].
