'''Imprison''' (Japanese: '''ふういん''' ''Seal'') is a non-damaging {{type|Psychic}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation III]].
'''Imprison''' (Japanese: '''ふういん''' ''Seal'') is a non-damaging {{type|Psychic}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation III]].


==Effect==
==Effect==
Imprison prevents all opponents from using any move which is also known by the user. The effect of Imprison lasts until the user switches out or faints. If the user's moveset changes while Imprison is in effect (such as by {{m|Mimic}}, {{m|Sketch}} or {{m|Transform}}), opponents are prevented from using the new moves.
===Generations III and IV===
As long as the user remains in battle, opponents cannot use any move which is also known by the user (including Pokémon switched in after the move was used). If the user's moveset changes while Imprison is in effect (such as by {{m|Mimic}}, {{m|Sketch}}, {{m|Transform}}, or learning a new move by leveling up), opponents are prevented from using the new moves.


If the target of this move runs out of PP of the rest of its usable moves, it will {{m|Struggle}}.
On the turn that Imprison is used, if an opposing Pokémon would move after Imprison is used and it selected a status move that turn, it will be unable to use that move and make no action that turn (i.e. PP for that move is not consumed). If a Pokémon has no moves with {{PP}} other than moves prevented by Imprison, it will {{m|Struggle}}.
 
Imprison will fail if no opponent possesses a move the user knows at the time Imprison is used.


In [[Double Battle]]s, the move targets the user and affects both opponents.
Imprison cannot be passed by {{m|Baton Pass}}.


===Generation IV===
===Generation V onward===
Imprison will fail if no opponent possesses a move the user knows at the time Imprison is used.
Imprison will still execute even if no opponent has a move the user knows; although Imprison has no immediate effect in such a case, if the user or opponents change the moves they know (e.g. Mimic, Sketch, Transform, or learning a new move by leveling up) or a different opposing Pokémon enters the battle, it will be prevented from using the user's moves.


===Generation V===
In [[Triple Battle]]s, non-adjacent opponents are prevented from using moves that the user knows.
Imprison will still execute even if no opponent has a move the user knows; though it has no immediate effect in such a case, if the opponent is able to change its moveset (e.g. Mimic, Sketch or Transform) or switches out for a different Pokémon, it will be prevented from using the user's moves.


Imprison can now be affected by {{m|Snatch}}.
Imprison can now be stolen by {{m|Snatch}}.


===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon===
If powered up by a {{DL|Z-Crystal|Psychium Z}} into Z-Imprison, the user's {{stat|Special Defense}} stat raises two stages.
In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] games, Imprison will afflict the target with a [[Status ailments in Mystery Dungeon#Volatile status conditions|Paused]] status.

Imprison (Japanese: ふういん Seal) is a non-damaging Psychic-type move introduced in Generation III.

Effect

Generations III and IV

As long as the user remains in battle, opponents cannot use any move which is also known by the user (including Pokémon switched in after the move was used). If the user's moveset changes while Imprison is in effect (such as by Mimic, Sketch, Transform, or learning a new move by leveling up), opponents are prevented from using the new moves.

On the turn that Imprison is used, if an opposing Pokémon would move after Imprison is used and it selected a status move that turn, it will be unable to use that move and make no action that turn (i.e. PP for that move is not consumed). If a Pokémon has no moves with PP other than moves prevented by Imprison, it will Struggle.

Imprison will fail if no opponent possesses a move the user knows at the time Imprison is used.

Imprison cannot be passed by Baton Pass.

Generation V onward

Imprison will still execute even if no opponent has a move the user knows; although Imprison has no immediate effect in such a case, if the user or opponents change the moves they know (e.g. Mimic, Sketch, Transform, or learning a new move by leveling up) or a different opposing Pokémon enters the battle, it will be prevented from using the user's moves.

In Triple Battles, non-adjacent opponents are prevented from using moves that the user knows.

Imprison can now be stolen by Snatch.

If powered up by a Psychium Z into Z-Imprison, the user's Special Defense stat raises two stages.

Trivia

  • The kanji featured in Imprison's Japanese animations is , which is the first kanji of 封印 (ふういん Fūin (Seal)), which is its Japanese name.
  • In Generation III, the status screen erroneously states that the move has 100% accuracy, even though it targets the user (thus it ignores accuracy and evasion checks).
