Effect

At the end of the next turn after a Pokémon becomes drowsy, it falls asleep (and ceases to be drowsy). At that time, it ceases to be drowsy (even if it was unable to fall asleep).

The Pokémon ceases to be drowsy if it switches out. Drowsiness cannot be passed with Baton Pass.

There are two points in time at which a Pokémon's immunity to drowsiness and sleep is checked: when it would become drowsy, and when it would fall asleep. Some effects only protect the Pokémon at one of these points in time.

Generation III to IV

Pokémon cannot become drowsy if a Pokémon is making an uproar, unless the Pokémon that would become drowsy has Soundproof. However, a Pokémon that is already drowsy will fall asleep even if a Pokémon is making an uproar.

Generation V onward

At the end of the next turn after becoming drowsy, if a Pokémon is making an uproar the drowsy Pokémon will not fall asleep (and cease to be drowsy). However, Pokémon can become drowsy even if a Pokémon is making an uproar.

Due to drowsiness applying before terrain and uproar fade, they will prevent a drowsy Pokémon from falling asleep even during the turn they fade.

Causes

Yawn makes the target drowsy, causing it to fall asleep at the end of the next turn.

G-Max Snooze has a 50% chance of making the target drowsy, causing it to fall asleep at the end of the next turn.
