{{redirect|Status|the move category|status move}}{{incomplete|needs=Missing some volatile status conditions}}{{split|Status condition and {{redlink|Volatile status condition}}}}
'''Status conditions''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|状態異常|じょうたいいじょう}}''' ''abnormal condition''), also referred to as '''status problems''' or '''status ailments''', affect a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s ability to battle. There are two kinds of status conditions, non-volatile which last until healed, and volatile which last while a Pokémon is in battle. Having [[Pokérus]] and being [[fainting|fainted]] are displayed identically to non-volatile status conditions but are not officially considered such.

==In the core series and side series==
===Non-volatile status===
{{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]]. It's displayed in the [[party]] screen, and the Pokémon's [[summary]]. They can be cured by healing at a [[Pokémon Center]], specific [[status condition healing item|curative item]]s, or other ways. If a Pokémon is affected by a non-volatile status condition, an icon will display the type of status condition (replacing the Pokémon's level in [[Generation]]s [[Generation I|I]] and [[Generation II|II]]). 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 {{m|substitute}} 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. In addition, the base power of {{m|Facade}} is doubled (from 70 to 140) when inflicted with paralysis, a burn, or poison.

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.

====Burn====
[[File:Ursaring Burn status.png|thumb|250px|{{TP|Paul|Ursaring}} is burned]]
{{main|Burn (status condition)}}
The burn condition (BRN) inflicts damage every turn and halves damage dealt by a Pokémon's [[physical move]]s (except Pokémon with the {{a|Guts}} Ability and {{m|Facade}} from Generation VI onward). In Generation I and from Generation VII onward, burn inflicts damage equal to 1/16 of its maximum HP every turn; from Generation II to VI, burn inflicts damage equal to 1/8 of its maximum HP every turn. Burn damage is halved if the Pokémon has the Ability {{a|Heatproof}}. In Generation V, Pokémon glow red while afflicted with burn.

Most moves which cause burn are {{type|Fire}} and burning the prime effect of {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}, however it also can be caused by the ability {{a|Flame Body}} or holding a [[Flame Orb]]. In Generations I and II, {{type|Fire}} Pokémon cannot be burned by Fire-type moves (but they can be burned by {{m|Tri Attack}} in Generation II). From Generation III onward, Fire-type Pokémon and Pokémon with the {{a|Water Veil}} or {{a|Water Bubble}} Ability cannot normally be burned. Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Heatproof}} will only lose half the HP each turn, while Pokémon with {{a|Magic Guard}} are immune to the HP loss (but still suffer from the attack drop). Pokémon with {{a|Flare Boost}} will have their {{stat|Special Attack}} increased when burned. A burn can be cured with the use of a [[Burn Heal]], [[Yago Berry]] ([[Generation III]] only), or a [[Rawst Berry]] ([[Ice Berry]] in [[Generation II]]).

In Generations I and II, burn damage is applied after the Pokémon takes its turn, but is skipped if the opponent faints during that turn. From Generation III onward, burn damage is applied after all Pokémon on the field have taken their turns (and there is no skipping).

====Freeze====
[[File:Frozen Pokémon.png|thumb|left|250px|{{AP|Pikachu}}, {{AP|Oshawott}}, and {{AP|Talonflame}} are frozen]]
{{main|Freeze (status condition)}}
The freeze condition (FRZ) causes a Pokémon to be unable to use moves. From [[Generation II]] onward, the frozen Pokémon has a chance to be thawed each turn (10% in Generation II or 20% in Generation III onwards), possibly even thawing right after being frozen; however, in [[Generation I]], a frozen Pokémon never thaws without external aid. Pokémon cannot be frozen in {{weather|harsh sunlight}}.

All moves which cause freezing are {{type|Ice}}, except {{m|Tri Attack}} ([[Generation II]] onward), {{m|Secret Power}} (when used in snow or ice; [[Generation IV]] onward) and {{m|Freezing Glare}}. In Generations I and II, Ice-type Pokémon cannot be frozen by Ice-type moves (but they can be frozen by Tri Attack in Generation II). From Generation III onward, Ice-type Pokémon and Pokémon with the {{a|Magma Armor}} Ability cannot normally be frozen. Being frozen can be cured with the use of an [[Ice Heal]], a [[Aspear Berry]] ([[Burnt Berry]] in [[Generation II]]) or [[Pumkin Berry]] ([[Generation III]] only).

A frozen Pokémon can still use the moves {{m|Fusion Flare}}, {{m|Flame Wheel}}, {{m|Sacred Fire}}, {{m|Flare Blitz}}, {{m|Scald}}, and {{m|Steam Eruption}} while frozen; these moves will thaw the user and be executed normally. In Generation V, Pokémon glow blue and stop moving while afflicted with freeze. If a frozen Pokémon is hit by a damaging {{type|Fire}} move (except {{m|Fire Spin}} in Generations I and II or {{m|Hidden Power}} in Generations II and III), {{m|Scald}} (Generation VI onward) or {{m|Steam Eruption}}, it will be thawed.
=====Frostbite=====
[[File:FrostbiteIC LA.png|right]]
Frostbite is a status condition exclusive to {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, replacing the freeze condition. Similar to a burn, frostbite inflicts damage equal to 1/16 of the target's maximum HP every turn, and it reduces damage dealt by its special moves during this time. When it is [[weather|snowing]], moves that may inflict frostbite are more likely to do so. {{type|Ice}} Pokémon cannot get frostbite.

Using {{m|Flame Wheel}} or {{m|Flare Blitz}} will cure the user of frostbite.

{{movedesc|ice}}
{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrev8|LA}}|At the end of each turn, the Pokémon is hurt by its frostbite. Any damage it deals with special moves will also be reduced.}}
|}
|}
====Paralysis====
[[File:Ash Pikachu Static.png|thumb|250px|{{TP|Paul|Ursaring}} is paralyzed]]
{{main|Paralysis (status condition)}}
The paralysis condition (PAR) reduces the Pokémon's {{stat|Speed}} stat and causes it to have a 25% chance of being unable to use a move ("fully paralyzed") when trying to use one. From Generation I to VI, its Speed is reduced to 25% of its normal value. From [[Generation VII]] onward, its Speed is reduced to 50% of its normal value. Pokémon with the {{a|Quick Feet}} Ability instead have their Speed increased by 50% while paralyzed. In [[Generation V]], Pokémon glow yellow while afflicted with paralysis and their animation will be slowed significantly.

Many moves that cause paralysis are {{type|Electric}} moves and paralysis is the main effect of the move {{m|Thunder Wave}}. It can also be caused by {{a|Static}}, {{a|Effect Spore}}, or {{a|Gulp Missile}}. In Generation I, Pokémon cannot be paralyzed by damaging moves of the same type as themselves. From [[Generation VI]] onward, {{type|Electric}} Pokémon cannot be paralyzed. Pokémon with the {{a|Limber}} Ability cannot normally be paralyzed. Furthermore, if its target is paralyzed, {{m|Smelling Salts}} will cure the paralysis in addition to becoming more powerful. Paralysis can be cured with the use of a [[Paralyze Heal]] or a [[Cheri Berry]] ([[PRZCureBerry]] in [[Generation II]]). In Generation IV only, the Ability {{a|Magic Guard}} will prevent Pokémon from being fully paralyzed; however, it does not prevent the Speed reduction.

====Poison====
[[File:Poisoned Pokémon.png|thumb|left|250px|{{MTR|Meowth}} is poisoned]]
{{main|Poison (status condition)}}
The poison condition (PSN) inflicts damage every turn. In Generation I, poison inflicts damage equal to 1/16 of its maximum HP every turn; from Generation II onward, it inflicts damage equal to 1/8 of its maximum HP. A Pokémon with the {{a|Poison Heal}} Ability will restore an equivalent amount of HP instead of taking damage. In Generation V, Pokémon glow purple while afflicted with poison.

All moves which cause poison are {{type|Poison}}, except {{m|Twineedle}}, {{m|Secret Power}} (when used in [[tall grass]]; [[Generation III]] only), {{m|Psycho Shift}} (while poisoned), and {{m|Fling}} (if [[Poison Barb]] or [[Toxic Orb]] is held). Poison-type Pokémon cannot be normally poisoned. The other causes of poisoning are one layer of {{m|Toxic Spikes}}, {{a|Poison Point}}, {{a|Effect Spore}}, or {{a|Poison Touch}}. In Generation II, {{type|Steel}} Pokémon cannot be poisoned by Poison-type moves (but they can be poisoned by {{m|Twineedle}}); from Generation III onward, Steel-type Pokémon and Pokémon with the {{a|Immunity}} Ability cannot normally be poisoned. Poison- and Steel-type Pokémon can be poisoned by a Pokémon with the {{a|Corrosion}} Ability. Poison (including bad poison) can be cured with the use of an [[Antidote]], [[Drash Berry]] ([[Generation III]] only) and [[Pecha Berry]] ([[PSNCureBerry]] in [[Generation II]]).

In Generations I and II, poison damage is applied after the Pokémon takes its turn, but is skipped if the opponent faints during that turn. From Generation III onward, poison damage is applied after all Pokémon on the field have taken their turns (and there is no skipping).

Prior to [[Generation V]], a poisoned Pokémon loses 1 HP for every four steps taken outside of battle. In [[Generation IV]], a Pokémon whose HP is reduced to 1 via poison outside of battle will have the poison status removed; in Generations I, II, and III, its HP will be reduced to 0 (causing it to faint).

====={{anchor|Badly poisoned|Badly poisoned}}=====
The bad poison condition inflicts damage every turn, with the amount of damage increasing each turn. It initially inflicts damage equal to 1/16 of the Pokémon's maximum HP, with the damage inflicted increasing by 1/16 each turn (2/16 on the second turn, 3/16 on the third turn, etc.). In Generation V, Pokémon glow purple while afflicted with bad poison. Starting from Generation V bad poison is also marked by darker status flag in the battle and Pokémon summary.

In Generations I and II, if a badly poisoned Pokémon is switched out, the condition reverts to regular poison. From [[Generation III]] onward, the poison remains bad poison while switched out, but the damage counter will be reset when switched back in (i.e. it always will take 1/16 of its maximum HP as damage after switching in). In Generations I, II, and from [[Generation V]] onwards, after a battle is over, the badly poisoned status will become a regular poison. Bad poison can be cured by the same ways the regular poison is.

All moves which badly poison are {{type|Poison}}, except {{m|Psycho Shift}} (while badly poisoned) and {{m|Fling}} (if [[Toxic Orb]] is held). Badly poison is the main effect of the move {{m|Toxic}} and two layers of {{m|Toxic Spikes}}.

====Sleep====
[[File:Sleeping Pokémon.png|thumb|250px|{{p|Magikarp}} is asleep]]
{{main|Sleep (status condition)}}
The sleep condition (SLP) causes a Pokémon to be unable to use moves, except {{m|Snore}} and {{m|Sleep Talk}}. From Generation V onward, Pokémon close their eyes while sleeping and move more slowly.

Sleep lasts for a randomly chosen duration of 1 to 7 turns in the handheld [[Generation I]] games, 1 to 3 turns in {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}, 1 to 5 turns in Generations II to IV (except the Japanese versions of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl), and 1 to 3 turns in [[Generation V]] onwards,<ref>[http://www.smogon.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3698857&postcount=770 RNG Research: Battle RNG - Sleep Duration]</ref>. In the Japanese versions of {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, the minimum and maximum sleep count is 1 turn higher, lasting 2 to 6 turns.<ref>[http://www.smogon.com/forums/showpost.php?p=648215&postcount=24 DP Battle Tower Records]</ref> If a Pokémon puts itself to sleep using {{m|Rest}}, it will sleep for exactly 2 turns.

Plenty of moves are able to put a Pokémon to sleep, most of them are either {{type|Normal}}, {{type|Psychic}}, or {{type|Grass}}. In addition to moves that cause sleep, after contact with {{a|Effect Spore}} or a [[obedience|disobedient]] Pokémon may also nap during battle. Pokémon with the {{a|Vital Spirit}} or {{a|Insomnia}} Ability cannot normally be put to sleep. {{m|Worry Seed}} changes the target's Ability to Insomnia causing it to be unable to sleep too. A sleeping Pokémon can be awoken by an [[Awakening]] or a [[Chesto Berry]] ([[Mint Berry]] in [[Generation II]]). If its target is sleeping, {{m|Wake-Up Slap}} will wake it up in addition to becoming more powerful. In [[Generation I]] core series games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the [[Poké Flute]] can be used in battle to wake up a sleeping Pokémon (without being consumed). In the [[Generation III]] and {{gen|IV}} core series games and {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the [[Blue Flute]] can be used to wake up a sleeping Pokémon (without being consumed).

In Generation I, a Pokémon that wakes up is not able to attack during that same turn; from Generation II onward, a Pokémon can wake up and use a move during the same turn. In Generation V only, a Pokémon's sleep counter is reset to its original amount when switched out; this also applies for self-induced sleep.

=====Drowsy=====
{{redirect|Drowsy|the Pokémon|Drowzee (Pokémon)|Drowzee}}
[[File:DrowsyIC LA.png|right]]
Drowsy is a status condition exclusive to {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, replacing the sleep condition. It works similarly to paralysis, and may cause the afflicted Pokémon to be unable to move. Drowsy Pokémon also take increased damage from direct attacks. When it is [[weather|snowing]], drowsy Pokémon are more likely to fail to act.

Using {{m|Spark}}, {{m|Volt Tackle}}, or {{m|Wild Charge}} will cure the user of drowsiness. {{m|Rest}} inflicts drowsiness on the user lasting four turns.

{{movedesc|status}}
{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrev8|LA}}|The Pokémon is drowsy and may fail to act. Any damage it takes is also increased.}}
|}
|}

===Volatile status===
A volatile status condition is a status condition that will wear off when a Pokémon is [[Recall|switched]] out of battle or when a battle is over. Many volatile status conditions will also wear off after a number of turns have passed. A Pokémon can be affected by multiple volatile status conditions at a time, potentially in addition to a non-volatile status condition. Volatile status conditions are not indicated by an icon in a Pokémon's [[party]] screen or [[summary]].

====Major====

=====Ability change=====
{{main|Ability change}}
A Pokémon's [[Ability]] can be temporarily changed into another one during a Pokémon battle.

=====Ability suppression=====
[[File:Sebastian Weepinbell Gastro Acid Adventures.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Weepinbell}} suppressing [[Kit|Lickilicky]]'s Ability]]
A Pokémon's [[Ability]] can be temporarily disabled during a Pokémon battle, preventing its effect. Ability suppression can be caused by {{m|Gastro Acid}} and {{m|Core Enforcer}}. Suppressing Abilities fails if the target's Ability is {{a|Multitype}}, {{a|Stance Change}}, {{a|Schooling}}, {{a|Comatose}}, {{a|Shields Down}}, {{a|Disguise}}, {{a|RKS System}}, {{a|Battle Bond}}, {{a|Power Construct}}, {{a|Ice Face}}, or {{a|Gulp Missile}}. This status is similar to [[Ignoring Abilities]].

=====Type change=====
{{main|Type change}}

A Pokémon can have one or more [[type]]s temporarily changed, added, or removed in battle.

=====Mimic=====
[[File:James Mime Jr Mimic BubbleBeam.png|thumb|left|220px|{{p|Mime Jr.}} mimicking {{m|BubbleBeam}}]]
{{main|Mimic (move)}}

If a Pokémon uses {{m|Mimic}}, this [[move]] will be temporarily replaced by another move copied from the target. In [[Generation I]], the copied move is selected from a list of the opposing Pokémon's moves. From [[Generation II]] onwards, Mimic copies the target's last used move.
{{-}}

=====Substitute=====
[[File:Juniper Accelgor Substitute.png|thumb|left|250px|{{p|Accelgor}} launching a substitute]]
{{main|Substitute (move)}}
The Pokémon that uses {{m|Substitute}} uses up to ¼ of its total HP (rounded down) to make a substitute which will absorb hits until it "breaks" (damage the substitute has taken is equal to or greater than the HP used to make it).
{{-}}

=====Transformed=====
[[File:Duplica Ditto Pikachu.png|thumb|220px|{{p|Ditto}} being Transformed into {{p|Pikachu}}]]
{{main|Transform}}

A Pokémon is transformed into the target with the use of {{m|Transform}}. Additionally, {{a|Imposter}} ({{p|Ditto}}'s [[signature Ability]]) automatically causes the user to transform into the opponent.

=====Illusion=====
{{main|Illusion (ability)}}
When a Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Illusion}} enters battle, its appearance is changed to that of the last conscious, non-{{pkmn|Egg}} Pokémon in its Trainer's [[party]]. Illusion replicates the appearance (including species, [[List of Pokémon with form differences|form]], and [[Shiny Pokémon|Shininess]]), [[nickname]] (or species name if none), [[Poké Ball]], and [[gender]] of the Pokémon it is masquerading as; however, it does not replicate the level of the masqueraded Pokémon. The effect is only aesthetic–effects such as {{m|Attract}} still use the Pokémon's actual gender. The illusion disappears if the Pokémon has its Ability changed or suppressed or if it takes [[damage]] from a damaging move.

====Damaging====

====={{anchor|Partially trapped|Bound}}=====
[[File:Jessie Seviper Wrap.png|thumb|left|250px|{{p|Gastrodon}} being trapped by {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}'s {{m|Wrap}}]]
{{main|Bound}}
A bound Pokémon takes damage at the end of each turn and cannot switch out or flee. A bind caused by a Pokémon using a move other than {{m|G-Max Centiferno}} or {{m|G-Max Sandblast}} will end if the Pokémon that caused the bind is removed from the field.
{{-}}

=====Curse=====
[[File:Masked Man Gastly Curse.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Suicune}} is hurt by the Curse]]
{{main|Curse (move)}}
A cursed Pokémon (affected by {{m|Curse}} used by a {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon) takes damage equal to ¼ of its maximum HP every turn.

=====Nightmare=====
{{main|Nightmare (move)}}
{{m|Nightmare}} only affects a sleeping Pokémon. The sleeping Pokémon loses ¼ of its maximum hit points every turn. If the sleeping Pokémon awakens, then the nightmare will no longer be in effect. If Baton Pass switches in a Pokémon that is not asleep (via {{m|Sleep Talk}}), then the nightmare will no longer be in effect.

=====Perish Song=====
{{main|Perish Song (move)}}
After three turns, all Pokémon who heard the {{m|Perish Song}} will faint. Pokémon with the {{a|Soundproof}} Ability are exempted and will not faint, except in Gen III-VII. Any Pokémon who heard it can avoid the effect of fainting if it is switched out before the three-turn count finishes. {{m|Baton Pass}} transfers the Perish Song countdown. The effect will also take place when {{a|Perish Body}} is activated.

====={{anchor|Seeding|Seeded}}=====
{{main|Seeded}}
A Pokémon affected by {{m|Leech Seed}} or {{m|Sappy Seed}} loses [[HP]] each turn, and the Pokémon in the position of the user of that move has its HP healed. In battles involving multiple Pokémon, if no Pokémon is in that position (for example, if it fainted and could not be replaced), no HP will be deducted from the seeded Pokémon. However, if a Pokémon is later able to occupy that position (if it was revived), HP will once again be sapped from the seeded Pokémon. While a Pokémon is seeded, even if it cannot have its health drained due to there being no Pokémon in the appropriate slot to drain its HP, it cannot be seeded again.

=====Salt Cure=====
{{main|Salt Cure (move)}}
{{m|Salt Cure}} inflicts 1/8 of the target's maximum HP as damage per turn in addition to the damage dealt when it is used. If a {{t|Steel}} and/or {{t|Water}} type is affected by Salt Cure, the amount of damage per turn is ¼ of its maximum HP.

=====Splinters=====
Splinters is a status condition exclusive to {{g|Legends: Arceus}}. A Pokémon afflicted with splinters take [[damage]] equivalent to a 25-[[power]] move from the user, factoring in type effectiveness, but not the random damage factor. Splinters damage the target at the end of its turn, and they last three turns for regular moves, two turns for agile style moves, and four turns for strong style moves.

The moves {{m|Ceaseless Edge}}, {{m|Pin Missile}}, {{m|Spikes}}, {{m|Stealth Rock}}, and {{m|Stone Axe}} inflict splinters onto the target.

====Effectiveness====

=====Autotomize=====
{{main|Autotomize (move)}}
A Pokémon that uses the move {{m|Autotomize}} will have its {{stat|Speed}} stat increase by two stages and (if the user successfully changes its Speed) its [[weight]] decreased by 220&nbsp;lbs. (100&nbsp;kg). If the user successfully changes its weight, the message ''"<Pokémon> became nimble!"'' is displayed.

Weight loss from Autotomize stacks, so using it multiple times will continue to decrease the user's weight accordingly until it reaches the minimum weight. Autotomize's weight reduction cannot be transferred by {{m|Baton Pass}} or removed by {{m|Haze}}. A Pokémon's weight is reset if it changes [[List of Pokémon with form differences|form]].

====={{anchor|Identification|Identified}}=====
[[File:Ash Noctowl Foresight effect.png|thumb|left|220px|{{AP|Noctowl}}'s Foresight identifying {{p|Gastly}}]]
The opponent's evasion modification will not affect the accuracy of a Pokémon that uses {{m|Foresight}}, {{m|Odor Sleuth}}, or {{m|Miracle Eye}}. In addition, a {{t|Normal}}- or {{type|Fighting}} move used by a Pokémon that has used Foresight or Odor Sleuth will affect {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon, and {{type|Psychic}} moves used by a Pokémon that has used Miracle Eye will affect {{type|Dark}} Pokémon.
{{-}}

=====Minimize=====
[[File:Nurse Joy Chansey Minimize effect.png|thumb|250px|Minimized {{p|Chansey}}]]
{{main|Minimize (move)}}
A Pokémon that has used the move {{m|Minimize}} (or had the effect passed to it via {{m|Baton Pass}}) will be affected more harmfully by some moves, including {{m|Stomp}}, {{m|Steamroller}}, {{m|Body Slam}}, {{m|Dragon Rush}}, {{m|Flying Press}}, and {{m|Phantom Force}}. In Generation VI, all of these moves will always hit a target that has used Minimize.

=====Tar Shot=====
{{main|Tar Shot (move)}}
A Pokémon hit by the move {{m|Tar Shot}} has the  [[Type effectiveness|effectiveness]] of {{type|Fire}} moves used on it doubled. This effect does not stack.

====Groundedness====

=====Grounded=====
{{main|Grounded}}
If a Pokémon is immune to {{type|Ground}} moves due to being a {{t|Flying}} type, having {{a|Levitate}}, holding an [[Air Balloon]], or being under the effect of {{m|Magnet Rise}} or {{m|Telekinesis}}, and it is hit by {{m|Smack Down}} or {{m|Thousand Arrows}}, it becomes grounded and loses its immunity to Ground-type moves.

=====Magnetic levitation=====
[[File:Psychic Metagross Magnet Rise.png|thumb|left|220px|{{p|Metagross}} levitating on magnetism]]
{{main|Magnet Rise (move)}}

A Pokémon levitating on magnetism via {{m|Magnet Rise}} is immune to {{type|Ground}} attacks for five turns. Like {{type|Flying}} Pokémon and Pokémon with {{a|Levitate}}, the user is immune to the damage of {{m|Spikes}} and {{m|Toxic Spikes}}, and is unaffected by {{a|Arena Trap}}. Magnet Rise is completely negated by {{m|Gravity}}, {{m|Ingrain}}, and holding an [[Iron Ball]].

This effect can be transferred by {{m|Baton Pass}}.
{{-}}

====={{anchor|Telekinetic levitation|Telekinesis}}=====
[[File:Christie Gothita Telekinesis.png|thumb|left|250px|A group of people being telekinetically levitated]]
{{main|Telekinesis (move)}}
A Pokémon levitated by {{m|Telekinesis}} is immune to {{type|Ground}} moves, {{m|Spikes}}, {{m|Toxic Spikes}}, and {{a|Arena Trap}} for three turns. In addition, all other moves, except [[one-hit knockout move]]s, hit the target regardless of {{stat|accuracy}} and {{stat|evasion}}; however, it does not allow moves to hit semi-invulnerable Pokémon.
{{-}}

====Healing====

=====Aqua Ring=====
[[File:Skyla Swanna Aqua Ring.png|thumb|left|250px|{{TP|Skyla|Swanna}} enveloped in a veil of water]]
{{main|Aqua Ring (move)}}
When a Pokémon surrounds itself with a veil of water by using {{m|Aqua Ring}}, it restores 1/16th of its maximum HP every turn. This effect can be transferred by {{m|Baton Pass}}.
{{-}}

=====Rooting=====
[[File:Steven Cradily Ingrain.png|thumb|250px|{{p|Cradily}} after planting its roots]]
{{main|Ingrain (move)}}

When a Pokémon plants its roots by using {{m|Ingrain}}, it restores 1/16th of its maximum HP every turn but cannot switch out or [[escape|flee]], even if hit by a move that would force this such as {{m|Roar}} and {{m|Dragon Tail}}. If a {{type|Flying}} Pokémon or a Pokémon with {{a|Levitate}} is rooted to the ground, it is susceptible to {{type|Ground}} moves, {{m|Spikes}} and {{m|Toxic Spikes}}. The Pokémon cannot be affected by {{m|Magnet Rise}} and {{m|Telekinesis}} and they are removed if active upon rooting. This effect can be transferred by {{m|Baton Pass}}.

====Next Turn====

=====Laser Focus=====
{{main|Laser Focus (move)}}
Laser Focus causes the user's moves to result in a [[critical hit]] until the end of the next turn, unless that move's target has {{a|Battle Armor}}, {{a|Shell Armor}}, or is under the effect of {{m|Lucky Chant}}.

The effect of Laser Focus can be copied by {{m|Psych Up}} or {{m|Transform}}.

=====Taking aim=====
[[File:Ash Sceptile Lock-On effect.png|thumb|220px|[[Ash's Sceptile|Sceptile]] being targeted]]
When a Pokémon uses {{m|Mind Reader}} or {{m|Lock-On}} to take aim at a target, the user's next damage-dealing move will hit that target without fail, even if the opponent uses a move that offers a turn of semi-invulnerability, such as {{m|Fly}}. This effect can be {{m|Baton Pass}}ed.

=====Drowsy=====
{{m|Yawn}} and {{m|G-Max Snooze}} makes the target drowsy. At the end of the next turn, the drowsy Pokémon will fall {{status|sleep|asleep}}, unless it is already afflicted by a non-volatile status condition. If a drowsy Pokémon [[Recall|switches]] out, it loses its drowsiness. Drowsiness cannot be passed by {{m|Baton Pass}}.

====Priming====

=====Charged=====
{{main|Charge (move)}}
A charged Pokémon has the [[power]] ([[damage]] in Generation III) of its next {{type|Electric}} move doubled. Prior to Generation IX, this condition lasts for the next turn. In Generation IX, the effect remains active until the next attempt to use an Electric-type move. Charge does not stack. A Pokémon can become charged by using the move {{m|Charge}}, or by the Abilities {{a|Electromorphosis}} and {{a|Wind Power}}. 

=====Stockpile count=====
{{main|Stockpile (move)}}
When the move {{m|Stockpile}} is used, the user will stockpile energy; the user can stockpile energy up to three times. The moves {{m|Spit Up}} and {{m|Swallow}} inflict damage and heal the user based on the number of stockpiles, respectively, but also reset the stockpile count. Both moves fail if the stockpile count is zero.

=====Defense Curl=====
[[File:Ash Phanpy Defense Curl.png|thumb|220px|{{AP|Phanpy}} curls up, ready to use {{m|Rollout}}]]
Using {{m|Defense Curl}} causes the power of {{m|Rollout}} and {{m|Ice Ball}} to double for the Pokémon. This effect is not transferred by {{m|Baton Pass}}.

=====Primed=====
Primed is a status condition exclusive to {{g|Legends: Arceus}} that causes the user's attack moves to deal 50% more damage.

The moves {{m|Double Hit}} and {{m|Victory Dance}} prime the user for five and four turns, respectively. Additionally, the item [[Twice-Spiced Radish]] primes the Pokémon it is used on.

====Prevention====

====={{anchor|Trapped|Can't escape}}=====
[[File:Lenora Watchog Mean Look effect.png|thumb|left|250px|{{AP|Oshawott}} failing to return to his Poké Ball after being hit by {{m|Mean Look}}]]
{{main|Escape prevention}}
A Pokémon that can't escape can neither [[recall|switch out]] nor [[escape|flee]] as long as the Pokémon that trapped it is on the field.

======No retreat======
{{main|No Retreat (move)}}
A Pokémon that uses the move {{m|No Retreat}} will gain a variant of the Can’t escape condition. The move No Retreat will fail if the user already possesses the No retreat condition, however a Pokémon that already possesses the Can’t escape condition cannot gain the No retreat condition, allowing the move No Retreat to be used multiple times without failing.

In Generation I, the disabled move is randomly selected among the target's moves whose current PP is greater than 0. In Generation II onwards, the disabled move is the last move that the target used. Disable fails if one of the target's moves is already disabled. Disable does not affect Pokémon under the protection of {{a|Aroma Veil}}.

=====Embargo=====
[[File:Cyrus Weavile Embargo Adventures.png|thumb|left|150px|{{p|Spiritomb}} being prevented from using items]]
{{main|Embargo (move)}}

=====Taunt=====
{{main|Taunt (move)}}
A {{m|taunt}}ed Pokémon cannot use any [[status move]]s for 3 turns (2-4 turns prior to Generation V), including status moves that will always {{cat|Moves that call other moves|turn into}} damaging moves like {{m|Nature Power}}. The Taunt status can only be inflicted by the move {{m|Taunt}}.

From [[Generation V]] onward, the [[Mental Herb]] cures the Pokémon of Taunt. From [[Generation VI]] onward, Pokémon with {{a|Oblivious}} are immune to the Taunt condition; if a Pokémon with Oblivious is afflicted by Taunt (such as if it is taunted by a Pokémon with an Ability like {{a|Mold Breaker}}), it will be cured immediately. Pokémon with {{a|Aroma Veil}} and their allies are immune to Taunt.

A taunted Pokémon can still use a status [[Z-Move]].

[[File:Roark Cranidos Focus Energy.png|thumb|250px|Cranidos getting pumped]]

In Generation III and in later games, a pumped Pokémon has its critical hit rate increased by two stages.

=====Guard Split=====

=====Guard Boost=====
This status condition in Legends: Arceus indicates that a Pokémon's defensive stats are raised, decreasing the damage it takes from attacks by a third. It usually consists of moves that can raise Defense or Special Defense in other core series games.

It lasts four turns for {{m|Victory Dance}} and five turns for {{m|Iron Defense}}.

=====Guard Drop=====

It lasts 5 turns for {{m|Focus Energy}} and 3 turns for {{m|Triple Arrows}}.

=====Obscured=====
Obscured is a status condition exclusive to {{g|Legends: Arceus}} that causes incoming attacks to become more likely to miss. It does not affect {{cat|Moves that cannot miss|sure-hit moves}}, which will always hit an obscured target regardless. It corresponds to {{cat|moves that can lower the target's accuracy}} in other core series games.

{{m|Mud Bomb}}, {{m|Mud-Slap}}, {{m|Octazooka}}, and {{m|Shadow Force}} obscure the user for three turns, while for {{m|Lunar Blessing}} and {{m|Shelter}}, it lasts four turns.

====Forced Move====

If a Pokémon uses either {{m|Rollout}} or {{m|Ice Ball}}, it will be forced to use that move for 5 turns, doubling in power for each consecutive hit.

=====Making an uproar=====
{{main|Uproar (move)}}
If a Pokémon uses {{m|Uproar}}, it will be forced to use that move for 3 turns (2-5 in Generations III and IV). While a Pokémon is making an uproar, other Pokémon will be unable to {{status|sleep}} (except for Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Soundproof}} in Generations III or IV).

=====Fixated=====
In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, Pokémon can become fixated on using a move. While fixated, that move deals increased damage, but also causes the user to receive increased damage from direct attacks. Fixation ends when the Pokémon uses a different move.

The moves {{m|Petal Dance}}, {{m|Outrage}}, {{m|Rollout}}, {{m|Ice Ball}}, and {{m|Raging Fury}} cause fixation after they are used; additionally, the item [[Choice Dumpling]] can cause fixation on the last move used.

====Multi-turn Move====

=====Bide=====
{{main|Bide (move)}}
If a Pokémon uses {{m|Bide}}, the user will be unable to select a move for an idling period of 2 turns (2-3 in Generations I and II), though it will still be able to switch out during the move's effect. Afterwards, Bide will do damage equal to twice the damage received during the idling period. If the user is not directly attacked during the biding period, Bide will fail on the turn it would have released.

Pokémon that are readying Solar Beam or Solar Blade take in sunlight.

Pokémon that are readying {{m|Razor Wind}} whip up a whirlwind.

======Semi-invulnerable turn======
{{main|Semi-invulnerable turn}}
Several moves with a charging turn will cause a Pokémon to become semi-invulnerable, and most moves will miss regardless of accuracy, even moves that never miss. This condition can be split into four different types based on the moves that can bypass it: the flying type caused by {{m|Fly}}, {{m|Bounce}}, and {{m|Sky Drop}}; the diving type caused by {{m|Dive}}; the digging type caused by {{m|Dig}}; and the phantom type caused by {{m|Phantom Force}} and {{m|Shadow Force}}.

====Transient====
These status conditions take effect only within the turn they are applied.
=====Flinch=====
[[File:Paul Magmar flinch.png|thumb|left|250px|{{TP|Paul|Magmar}} flinching]]
{{anchor|Cringe}}
{{main|Flinch}}
The flinch status prevents a Pokémon from attacking during one turn.
{{-}}

=====Bracing=====
[[File:Ash Heracross Endure.png|thumb|left|220px|{{AP|Heracross}} bracing itself]]
{{main|Endure (move)}}
When a Pokémon uses {{m|Endure}}, it braces itself so that whenever it takes damage that turn, it will always survive with at least 1 HP. The [[Focus Sash]], [[Focus Band]], and Ability {{a|Sturdy}} all have similar effects.
{{-}}

=====Center of attention=====
[[File:Daisy Clefairy Courtney Vulpix Follow Me Tail Whip Adventures.png|thumb|left|250px|{{p|Clefairy}} drawing attention to itself]]
{{main|Center of attention}}

If a Pokémon is the center of attention, its opponents are forced to target the center of attention rather than their intended target.
{{-}}

=====Magic Coat=====
[[File:Absol Magic Coat Adventures.png|thumb|left|250px|{{p|Absol}} bouncing back an attack]]
{{main|Magic Coat (move)}}

A Pokémon shrouded with {{m|Magic Coat}} will reflect most status moves used against it or its side of the field back at the user during the turn it used the move. The Ability {{a|Magic Bounce}} reflects the same moves.

=====Protection=====
{{main|Protection}}

A protected Pokémon will be unaffected by [[physical move|physical]], [[special move|special]], and/or [[status move]]s during one turn depending on the [[protection]] move used.
{{-}}

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
{{main|Status condition (Mystery Dungeon)}}

In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]], {{DL|Status condition (Mystery Dungeon)|Volatile status conditions|Infatuation}} prevents the Pokémon from doing anything for 5-6 turns, and causes linked moves to cease.

The Flinch status is known as the {{md|Status condition|Cringe|Cringe}} in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]: [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Red Rescue Team, Blue Rescue Team]], [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time, Explorers of Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity|Gates to Infinity]]. It is renamed as the flinch status condition in {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}.

===Pokémon Conquest===
In [[Pokémon Conquest]], all status conditions disappear after battle.

In this game, confusion is a non-volatile status. A confused Pokémon may randomly move and attack other Pokémon, including allies. If a Pokémon moves in its confusion, the [[Warrior]] is prevented from using an item or activating a [[Warrior Skill]] that turn. Confusion may wear off in the first turn.

In this game, a Pokémon that has flinched is unable to perform any actions (i.e. move around, use moves), along with its partner [[Warrior]] (i.e. use [[Warrior Skill]]s, use [[List of items (Conquest)|items]], link). Since battles in this game are turn-based, flinching does not require a first strike via an advantage in {{stat|Speed}} or [[priority]], unlike in the main series. The turn-based gameplay and the duration of flinching also makes consecutive flinching impairment impossible, unlike in the main series.

===Pokémon Shuffle===
[[File:Shuffle Spooked.png|thumb|right|Mimikyu is Spooked.]]

In [[Pokémon Shuffle]], status conditions can be inflicted onto the opponent by {{OBP|skill|Shuffle}}s when matching Pokémon icons at the start of a combo. A foe can only have one status condition at a time.

All status conditions will wear off as moves are made. More specifically, a status condition's duration will tick down after a move is made, but before the second hit onwards of the move's resulting combo. This can result in the status effect being active for the first match of the combo, but being inactive for the subsequent matches in the same combo.

The Skill {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Relentless}} will increase the damage of the initial match against a foe that has a status condition. The in-game description states that it increases the damage of the combo as well, but due to a bug, it does not.

The Skills {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Mind Zap}} and {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Prank}} cannot activate against a foe that has a status condition.

The effects of Shuffle's status conditions are as follows:
* '''Asleep''' - The Pokémon cannot use [[disruption]]s, their disruption countdown is paused, and the Pokémon will take 20% more damage. Caused by the Skills {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Nap Time}} or {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Sleep Charm}}.
* '''Burned''' - The Pokémon takes 50% more damage from {{t|Fire}}-type Pokémon. Caused by the Skills {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Burn}} or {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Burn+}}.
* '''Disruption Delay''' - The Pokémon cannot use disruptions, and their disruption countdown is paused. This is inflicted by the [[File:Disruption Delay.png|20px|link=]] Disruption Delay item, as well as the Skills {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Astonish}}, {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Chill}}, {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Constrict}}, {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Crushing Step}}, {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Daunt}}, {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Fascinate}}, {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Flap}}, {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Power Hug}}, {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Sand Sport}}, {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Shadow Shock}}, or {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Whirlpool}}.
* '''Frozen''' - The Pokémon cannot use disruptions, their disruption countdown is paused, and the Pokémon will take 20% more damage from {{t|Ice}}-type Pokémon. Caused by the Skills {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Freeze}} or {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Freeze+}}.
* '''Paralyzed''' -  The Pokémon cannot use disruptions, and their disruption countdown is paused. Caused by the Skills {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Dragon Shriek}}, {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Lightning}}, {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Paralyze}}, {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Paralyze+}}, {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Quake}}, or {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Shock Attack}}.
* '''Poisoned''' - The Pokémon takes 50% more damage from {{t|Poison}}-type Pokémon (However, the activation move only takes 20% more damage). Caused by the Skill {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Poison}}.
* '''{{anchor|Spooked|Spooked}}''' - The Pokémon takes 50% more damage from {{t|Ghost}}-type Pokémon. Caused by the Skills {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Spookify}} or {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Spookify+}}.

In this game, most types have immunities to certain status conditions. These listed in the chart below, where an "X" indicates an immunity.
