The confused condition causes a Pokémon to hurt itself in its confusion | The confused condition causes a Pokémon to hurt itself in its confusion 33% of the time (50% prior to [[Generation VII]]). The damage is done as if the Pokémon attacked itself with a 40-power typeless physical attack (without the possibility of a critical hit). | ||
Confusion wears off after 1-4 attacking turns. This means that turns recharging, such as after using {{m|Hyper Beam}}, and turns unable to attack, such as from {{status|paralysis}}, will not lower the remaining number of turns of confusion. However, a sleeping Pokémon may hurt itself in confusion if using a move such as {{m|Snore}} or {{m|Sleep Talk}}. Multi-turn attacks such as {{m|Fly}} and {{m|Dive}} require confusion to be checked both turns, further reducing the chance of a successful attack. | Confusion wears off after 1-4 attacking turns.
