Effect

In battle

Own Tempo prevents confusion, even if it is self-inflicted (such as from Thrash or a Berry). If a confused Pokémon gains this Ability via Skill Swap or similar, it will be immediately cured of its confusion. Conversely, if a Pokémon with this Ability is switched into battle through Baton Pass, the confusion will not be passed on.

Outside of battle

Own Tempo has no effect outside of battle.
