Yawn makes the target drowsy. At the end of the next turn, the drowsy Pokémon will fall {{status|sleep|asleep}}, unless it is already afflicted by a non-volatile [[status condition]]. If a drowsy Pokémon [[Recall|switches]] out, it loses its drowsiness. Drowsiness cannot be passed by {{m|Baton Pass}}.

Yawn will fail if the target is already afflicted by a major [[status condition]] or behind a {{m|substitute}}.

Yawn will fail if the target has the [[Ability]] {{a|Insomnia}} or {{a|Vital Spirit}} or if it has {{a|Leaf Guard}} during [[harsh sunlight]]; a drowsy Pokémon that has Insomnia, Vital Spirit, or (during harsh sunlight) Leaf Guard will not fall asleep. Yawn will fail if used on a Pokémon without {{a|Soundproof}} during an {{m|uproar}}. It will also fail when used on a target under the effect of {{m|Safeguard}}, but a Pokémon that is already drowsy can still fall asleep while under the effect of Safeguard.

Yawn no longer fails during an {{m|uproar}}, but drowsiness cannot cause a Pokémon to fall asleep during an uproar.

==Trivia==

* Yawn is the only move whose English name begins with the letter Y.

* Its basis stems from the phenomenon of how yawns are contagious from person to person.
