Effect

Currently, this page's description of the ability is "Comatose prevents the Pokémon with this Ability from being afflicted by any status condition except sleep," which suggests it can fall asleep or wake up from sleep, but is not affected by other status conditions even if it is currently awake. I was wondering if this should be changed based on the description on the official website, which seems to imply that the ability makes it maintain the sleep condition constantly (and thus, it can't be afflicted with other status conditions because it can't wake up from the sleep condition in the first place). Am I misreading this, or should the page be changed? --AndyPKMN (talk) 21:02, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

This Ability keeps it perpetually in a drowsing state, which prevents it from getting any other status conditions.
Being Drowsy doesn't mean being actually asleep. Unowninator (talk) 21:09, 1 July 2016 (UTC)
If Komala is asleep, it wouldn't usually be able to attack. It's extremely unclear how this Ability will play out in the game given all the fluff on the official site about Komala and Comatose. We'll just have to wait and see what there is to see. Tiddlywinks (talk) 21:15, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

It's actually Chinese, but basically Comatose stopped Thunder Wave from working, perfectly according to the information we've been given before.--Den Zen 16:33, 3 July 2016 (UTC)
