Sleep (status condition): Difference between revisions

'''Sleep''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|眠|ねむ}}り''' ''Sleeping'') is a [[status condition]] that causes a Pokémon to be unable to make a move. In the games, it is often abbreviated as SLP.

Sleep now lasts 1-6 turns (1-3 in the {{gdis|Battle Tower|II}}), and a Pokémon can make a move on the turn it wakes up.

Sleep now lasts 2-5 turns. Using {{m|Snore}} or {{m|Sleep Talk}} while asleep increments the sleep counter like normal, but due to an oversight, the updates to the sleep counter by these two moves are not saved upon switching out, effectively being reset.

Pokémon with the {{a|Insomnia}} or {{a|Vital Spirit}} Abilities cannot be put to sleep. Pokémon with {{a|Leaf Guard}} will be protected from status conditions in {{weather|harsh sunlight}}. Pokémon with {{a|Sweet Veil}} and their allies cannot be put to sleep. Pokémon with the {{a|Comatose}} Ability will act like they are asleep, without actually being asleep, and the Ability prevents them from being put to sleep.

In [[Pokémon Shuffle]], a sleeping Pokémon cannot use any {{DL|Pokémon Shuffle|disruptions}}, its disruption countdown is paused, and takes 20% more damage.

Sleep can be inflicted by Pokémon with the Nap Time or Sleep Charm [[Skill]]s. The Sleep Combo Skill also boosts damage against sleeping foes.

In ''[[AG037|Jump for Joy!]]'', multiple wild {{p|Oddish}} put Nurse Joy to sleep with Sleep Powder so that {{p|Shiftry}} could bring her to treat a sick {{p|Nuzleaf}}.

The dub incorrectly refers to the Sleep Powder used by the Oddish as Stun Spore.

In ''[[PS438|The Final Dimensional Duel VIII]]'', {{p|Darkrai}} put [[Palmer]]'s {{p|Cresselia}} to sleep with Hypnosis. Palmer countered by having Cresselia use {{m|Psycho Shift}}, causing Cresselia to wake up and Darkrai to fall asleep instead. Later during the same round, [[Charon]] had Darkrai use Dark Void to put his opponents' [[Legendary Pokémon]] to sleep. This was soon countered by {{p|Shaymin}} using {{m|Worry Seed}} on the sleeping Pokémon, changing their Abilities to {{a|Insomnia}} and thus causing them to immediately wake up.

===={{chap|X & Y}}====

In [[PS587]], [[Xerosic]]'s {{p|Malamar}} used Hypnosis to put {{adv|X}}'s group and their Pokémon to sleep. However, X and [[Croaky]] were able to avoid the initial Hypnosis by covering their ears. Croaky was later put to sleep by another Hypnosis from Malamar, needing to be cured by an [[Awakening]] from {{adv|Y}}.

In the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}}, Sleep, called Asleep, is one of the five {{TCG|Special Conditions}} along with Poisoned, Burned, Confused, and Paralyzed. If a Pokémon is Asleep, it cannot attack or retreat by itself. It must also be turned to the left. After each turn, if a player's Pokémon is Asleep, the player must flip a coin: if heads, the Asleep Pokémon "wakes up" and is no longer affected by the Special Condition. However, if the coin lands on tails, the Pokémon is still asleep. Unlike the Pokémon games, a Pokémon can be afflicted with more than one Special Condition at once; however, some special conditions will erase ones already present.
