Effect

  This article is incomplete.
Please feel free to edit this article to add missing information and complete it.
Reason: Is it affected by Worry Seed or Simple Beam? Can it be gained by Power of Alchemy or Receiver? Can it be changed to Mummy? Does it make the user vulnerable to Bad Dreams? Does it also prevent volatile status conditions? Is it affected by Core Enforcer? Can it be poisoned by Poison Touch Sunsteel Strike?

In battle

Comatose makes the user act as if it were asleep, without inflicting the status; the Pokémon with this Ability can still use moves (including successfully using Sleep Talk and Snore). It cannot be afflicted with non-volatile status conditions or become drowsy due to Yawn. The Pokémon with this Ability takes double damage from Hex and Wake-Up Slap, can be affected by Dream Eater and Nightmare, and cannot successfully use Rest.

Comatose is unaffected by Uproar and effects that prevent sleep (such as Electric Terrain and Sweet Veil). Comatose is unaffected by Mold Breaker, Turboblaze and Teravolt. Comatose cannot be replaced with Skill Swap or Entrainment, or copied by Role Play or Trace, and also cannot be suppressed with Gastro Acid.

If a Pokémon that already has a status condition gains Comatose (i.e. due to Transform or Imposter), it will not be cured of its status condition.

Outside of battle

Comatose has no effect outside of battle.
