In the {{pkmn|anime}}, several Pokémon have been shown to develop '''illnesses''', similar to what happens with the [[Status|Status ailments]].
In the [[Pokémon world]] several Pokémon have been shown to develop '''illnesses''', similar to what happens with the [[status|status ailments]].


==List of illnesses==
==In the games==
Prior to the events of {{game|Black and White|s}}, Alder's [[starter Pokémon]] died of illness, and in despair over not being able to save it, he began traveling around aimlessly. Before his partner's death, the two of them madly pursued strength, much like Cheren did. The Pokémon's death changed Alder's outlook on life. The identity of this Pokémon is never mentioned in Black and White, but dialogue in {{game|Black and White|s|4=2}} reveals that Alder's late partner was {{p|Larvesta}}/{{p|Volcarona}}.

[[File:Pikachu illness.png|thumb|left|Pikachu's illness of electric overcharge.]]
This condition is known to affect {{type|Electric}} Pokémon, although {{p|Magnemite}} {{p|Magneton|and its}} {{p|Magnezone|evolutions}} appear to be immune to it. This illness is caused by exposure to high levels of electromagnetic energy. Symptoms appear to vary, as shown by different species stricken with it. In ''[[AG001|Get the Show on the Road]]'', {{AP|Pikachu}} came down with this illness. It appeared quite lethargic when affected, whereas a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Elekid}} from ''[[AG154|Reversing the Charges]]'' did not. It also appears that there are different levels of this illness, as the first time Pikachu got it, it only had flu-like symptoms; a different time, however, it got so severe there was a threat of Pikachu exploding from the overload. A Pikachu that has an electric overcharge usually becomes red-eyed and very mean and dangerous to its Trainer. [[Dawn's Pachirisu]] got an electric overcharge in ''[[DP094|Doc Brock!]]''. Pachirisu got rid of it with an [[Oran Berry]] and attacking {{TRT}}.

Known to affect humans in the Pokémon world, it causes them to think and act like various Pokémon. The only known cause of Pokémonitis is being exposed to a {{p|Hypno}}'s {{m|Hypnosis|hypnotic waves}}, and even then, only when the Hypno has been trained so that its Hypnosis attack specifically affects humans. It is curable by {{p|Drowzee}}'s {{m|Dream Eater}}, as seen in ''[[EP027|Hypno's Naptime]]''. Adults appear to be immune to Pokémonitis, as the oldest known person to be afflicted with it was {{an|Misty}}, despite numerous adults being in extremely close range of said hypnotic waves.
