Status ailments are considered differently in the Mystery Dungeon games compared to the main series. Statuses can be caused by various moves, and may represent not only statuses in the traditional sense (such as being asleep), but also as a result of moves being used (such as being in the middle of a two-turn attack). Because of this, a player may have multiple status ailments in effect, though some effects are mutually exclusive.

Major status effects are those which may be removed using items, Aromatherapy, Heal Bell, or stepping on Dungeon Tiles. Though not statuses in and of itself, all sealed moves are unsealed and any reduction of movement speed is negated whenever a major status effect is healed. Pokémon with Natural Cure will suffer major status effects for at most 5 turns, while Pokémon with Self-Curer will have status durations cut in half. Pokémon with Early Bird affected with a sleep ability (Asleep, Nightmare, and Napping) will have its status durations further cut in half.

In the following lists, each group of statuses are mutually exclusive. Moves in italics are considered to be major statuses.

• Asleep - The Pokémon does not do anything. If in the middle of a linked move, the rest of the linked move is skipped. Items cannot be removed from this Pokémon. Lasts 3-6 turns.
• Sleepless
• Nightmare
• Yawning - The Pokémon will get the Asleep status when this status ends. Items cannot be removed from this Pokémon. Lasts 2 turns. Caused by Yawn.
• Napping

• Burned - The Pokémon will lose 5 HP at the end of its next turn, and every 20 turns after that. Burns can be healed by stepping on non-regular water tiles (even by Pokémon for which this would normally cause a warp), or the use of specific items.
• Poisoned - The Pokémon will lose 4 HP at the end of its next turn, and every 10 turns after that. Poisoned Pokémon cannot naturally regenerate HP.
• Badly Poisoned - The Pokémon will lose 6HP at the end of its next turn, and every 2 turns after that. Like Poisoned Pokémon, Badly Poisoned Pokémon cannot naturally regenerate HP.
• Paralyzed - The Pokémon cannot use attacks (regular or special) or Wonder Orbs, and movement speed will be reduced by 1. Thrown items will continue to inflict damage. This normally lasts up to 2 turns.

• Frozen - The Pokémon will not do anything, though it may not receive damage. If in the middle of a linked move, the rest of the linked move is skipped. Pokémon on Magma tiles cannot be frozen. Frozen Pokémon can be defrosted if a Template:T2 attack is used against it, if it is forced on a Magma tile, or a specific item is used on it. This lasts for 3-5 turns.
• Leg Hold - The Pokémon cannot move, and cannot switch places with the team leader. This lasts for 2-5 turns.
• Wrapped Around Foe
• Wrapped By Foe
