Status condition: Difference between revisions

===Non-volatile status===

{{incomplete|section|needs=What game mechanics, such as facade and heal bell, are affected by all non-volatile statuses?}}

If a Pokémon under a status condition (such as a poisoned {{p|Cascoon}}) evolves, the condition will be kept, even if the Pokémon gains a new [[type]] or [[Ability]] that would normally prevent it.

====Freeze====

{{main|Freeze (status condition)}}

The freeze condition (FRZ) causes a Pokémon to be unable to use moves. A frozen Pokémon can still use the moves {{m|Fusion Flare}}, {{m|Flame Wheel}}, {{m|Sacred Fire}}, {{m|Flare Blitz}}, {{m|Scald}}, and {{m|Steam Eruption}} while frozen; these moves will thaw the user and be executed normally. In Generation V, Pokémon glow blue and stop moving while afflicted with freeze.

====Poison====

{{main|Poison (status condition)}}

The poison condition (PSN) inflicts damage every turn. In Generation I, poison inflicts damage equal to 1/16 of its maximum HP every turn; from Generation II onward, it inflicts damage equal to 1/8 of its maximum HP. A Pokémon with the {{a|Poison Heal}} Ability will restore an equivalent amount of HP instead of taking damage. In Generation V, Pokémon glow purple while afflicted with poison.

In Generation I, a Pokémon that wakes up is not able to attack during that same turn; from Generation II onward, a Pokémon can wake up and use a move during the same turn. In Generation V only, a Pokémon's sleep counter is reset to its original amount when switched out; this also applies for self-induced sleep.

===Volatile status===

===={{anchor|Partially trapped|Bound}}====

[[File:Jessie Seviper Wrap.png|thumb|250px|{{p|Gastrodon}} being trapped by {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}'s {{m|Wrap}}]]

=====Generation I=====

In-game, the target will get to select a move during each turn of the binding move's duration, and will attack the incoming Pokémon with the selected move if the player switches before the duration is over.

In {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}, it is possible to select a move during each turn of the binding move's duration. If the target switches out before the duration ends, the incoming Pokémon will not automatically be attacked. A binding move will negate the recharge turn of Hyper Beam only if successful.

The target is now able to attack during a binding move's duration, and can act normally. Instead, the afflicted Pokémon takes damage equal to 1/16 of its maximum HP for 2-5 turns, in addition to the damage dealt when it is used. A bound Pokémon is also trapped, preventing it from switching and [[escape]]. A bound Pokémon can still flee (but not switch out) if it has the Ability {{a|Run Away}} or is holding a [[Smoke Ball]]. A bound Pokémon can still switch out (but not flee) if it is holding a [[Shed Shell]].

If the user of the binding move is holding a [[Grip Claw]], the duration will always be 5 turns.

From Generation III onward, a Pokémon that can't escape can still flee or {{m|Teleport}} from a wild battle if it is holding a [[Smoke Ball]] or has the Ability {{a|Run Away}}.

Starting in Generation VI, {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon can switch out and flee regardless of the can't escape status.

The confused condition causes a Pokémon to sometimes hurt itself in its confusion instead of executing a selected move. From Generation I to VI, the chance to hurt itself is 50%; from Generation VII onwards, it is 33%. The damage is done as if the Pokémon attacked itself with a 40-power typeless physical attack (without the possibility of a critical hit).

Pokémon with the {{a|Own Tempo}} Ability are immune to being confused. Confusion can be cured with [[Persim Berry|Persim Berries]], [[Touga Berry|Touga Berries]], the [[Yellow Flute]], and, from [[Generation II]] onwards, items that cure all status conditions such as [[Full Heal]]s and [[Lum Berry|Lum Berries]]; it is the only volatile status condition to be able to be cured by items that heal all status conditions.

[[Focus Sash]], [[Focus Band]], and {{a|Sturdy}} can prevent a Pokémon from knocking itself out due to confusion.

====Curse====

If a {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon uses {{m|Curse}}, its target will be afflicted by the cursed condition. A cursed Pokémon takes damage equal to ¼ of its maximum HP every turn. The cursed condition remains as long as the afflicted Pokémon is on the field. If a cursed Pokémon uses {{m|Baton Pass}}, the cursed condition is passed to its replacement.

In [[Generation II]], if a cursed Pokémon knocks out its opponent, it will not take damage from curse that turn.

====Embargo====

A Pokémon under the effect of {{m|Embargo}} is unable to use its [[held item]] and its Trainer cannot use items on it (including [[Wonder Launcher]] items) for five turns. A Pokémon under the effect of Embargo cannot use {{m|Fling}}.

====Encore====

{{m|Encore}} forces the Pokémon to repeat its last attack for 2-5 turns in Generation II, 4-8 turns in Generations III and IV, and 3 turns in Generation V and VI. In Generation V, if the Pokémon has {{m|Magic Coat}} active, the move will fail.

====Flinch====

{{main|Flinch}}

The flinch status is a one-turn status that prevents a Pokémon from attacking. A Pokémon can only flinch if it is hit by another Pokémon's move before using its move. A Pokémon who is holding a [[King's Rock]] or [[Razor Fang]] has a 10% (~12% in Generation II) chance of causing a target to flinch when using certain moves; in Generation II, III, and IV, any of several moves on a list exclusive to the items (the list differs between generations); from Generation V onward, any move that deals damage and does not already have a chance to flinch. Most moves that cause flinching are [[physical move]]s. In [[Generation II]] only, {{status|sleep}}ing Pokémon cannot flinch when hit by moves that cause flinching (but can flinch via King's Rock), and are thus able to successfully execute {{m|Sleep Talk}} or {{m|Snore}} regardless.

[[Dynamax]] Pokémon and Pokémon with the {{a|Inner Focus}} Ability are immune to flinching. Pokémon with {{a|Steadfast}} still flinch, but gain {{stat|Speed}} each time they do so.

====Heal Block====

From Generation V onward, [[Leftovers]] and [[Shell Bell]] cannot heal Pokémon affected by Heal Block. In Generation VI, [[Black Sludge]] cannot heal Pokémon affected by Heal Block. Items such as [[Potion]]s can still be used to heal the Pokémon.

===={{anchor|Identification|Identified}}====

The opponent's evasion modification will not affect the accuracy of a Pokémon that uses {{m|Foresight}}, {{m|Odor Sleuth}}, or {{m|Miracle Eye}}. In addition, a {{t|Normal}}- or {{type|Fighting}} move used by a Pokémon that has used Foresight or Odor Sleuth will affect {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon, and {{type|Psychic}} moves used by a Pokémon that has used Miracle Eye will affect {{type|Dark}} Pokémon.

===={{anchor|attraction|Infatuation}}====

[[File:Tierno Raichu infatuated.png|thumb|250px|{{p|Raichu}} is infatuated]]

=====Moves=====

===={{anchor|Seeding|Leech Seed}}====

If a Pokémon afflicted with Leech Seed uses {{m|Baton Pass}}, Leech Seed is transferred to its replacement, even if it is Grass-type. If the Pokémon that used Leech Seed switches out or faints, any Pokémon in the same position as the original user gains the drained HP instead.

The effect of Telekinesis is canceled when {{m|Gravity}} is used, the levitated Pokémon uses {{m|Ingrain}}, or the levitated Pokémon obtains an [[Iron Ball]]; Telekinesis cannot lift targets if Gravity is in effect, and will fail if used on a target that is rooted or holding an Iron Ball.

[[File:Skyla Swanna Aqua Ring.png|thumb|250px|{{TP|Skyla|Swanna}} enveloped in a veil of water]]

When a Pokémon surrounds itself with a veil of water by using {{m|Aqua Ring}}, it restores 1/16th of its maximum HP every turn. This effect can be transferred by {{m|Baton Pass}}.

====Bracing====

====Charging turn====

Several two-turn moves have a turn where a Pokémon cannot act. The charging can be skipped with a [[Power Herb]], or in the case of {{m|Solar Beam}} and {{m|Solar Blade}}, the presence of [[harsh sunlight]].

====Center of attention====

A Pokémon can become the center of attention by using {{m|Follow Me}} or {{m|Rage Powder}}, or by being affected by {{m|Spotlight}}.

From [[Generation VI]] onward, {{type|Grass}} Pokémon, Pokémon with {{a|Overcoat}}, and Pokémon holding [[Safety Goggles]] will not have their moves drawn to a Pokémon that becomes the center of attention due to Rage Powder.

====Defense Curl====

Using {{m|Defense Curl}} causes the power of {{m|Rollout}} and {{m|Ice Ball}} to double for the Pokémon. This effect is not transferred by {{m|Baton Pass}}.

{{-}}

====Rooting====

When a Pokémon plants its roots by using {{m|Ingrain}}, it restores 1/16th of its maximum HP every turn but cannot switch out or [[escape|flee]], even if hit by a move that would force this such as {{m|Roar}} and {{m|Dragon Tail}}. If a {{type|Flying}} Pokémon or a Pokémon with {{a|Levitate}} is rooted to the ground, it is susceptible to {{type|Ground}} moves, {{m|Spikes}} and {{m|Toxic Spikes}}. The Pokémon cannot be affected by {{m|Magnet Rise}} and {{m|Telekinesis}} and they are removed if active upon rooting. This effect can be transferred by {{m|Baton Pass}}.

====Magic Coat====

A Pokémon shrouded with {{m|Magic Coat}} will reflect most status moves used against it or its side of the field back at the user during the turn it used the move. The Ability {{a|Magic Bounce}} reflects the same moves.

====Magnetic levitation====

A Pokémon levitating on magnetism via {{m|Magnet Rise}} is immune to {{type|Ground}} attacks for five turns. Like {{type|Flying}} Pokémon and Pokémon with {{a|Levitate}}, the user is immune to the damage of {{m|Spikes}} and {{m|Toxic Spikes}}, and is unaffected by {{a|Arena Trap}}. Magnet Rise is completely negated by {{m|Gravity}}, {{m|Ingrain}}, and holding an [[Iron Ball]].

This effect can be transferred by {{m|Baton Pass}}.

====Minimize====

A Pokémon that has used the move {{m|Minimize}} (or had the effect passed to it via {{m|Baton Pass}}) will be affected more harmfully by some moves.

From [[Generation II]] onward, Pokémon that have used Minimize will take double damage from {{m|Stomp}}. From [[Generation V]] onward, Pokémon that have used Minimize will also receive double damage from {{m|Steamroller}}. In [[Generation VI]], Pokémon that have used Minimize will take double damage from {{m|Body Slam}}, {{m|Dragon Rush}}, {{m|Flying Press}}, and {{m|Phantom Force}}; also in Generation VI, all of these moves will always hit a target that has used Minimize.

====Protection====

|}

Several two-turn moves have a turn where a Pokémon becomes semi-invulnerable, and most moves will miss regardless of accuracy, even moves that never miss. If a Pokémon has been [[#taking aim|taken aim at]], the aimed Pokémon can still hit Pokémon during their semi-invulnerable turn. A Pokémon with {{a|No Guard}} can hit the Pokémon during their semi-invulnerable state, and a Pokémon with No Guard in the semi-invulnerable state can be hit by any Pokémon. With the exception of {{m|Sky Drop}}, the semi-invulnerable turn can be skipped with a [[Power Herb]]. {{a|Magic Bounce}} and {{a|Dancer}} have no effect when their user is semi-invulnerable.

Pokémon that have used {{m|Fly}}, {{m|Bounce}}, or {{m|Sky Drop}} (both the user and target) fly up high. Pokémon that have flown up high are vulnerable to {{m|Gust}}, {{m|Smack Down}}, {{m|Sky Uppercut}}, {{m|Thunder}}, {{m|Twister}}, and {{m|Hurricane}}. If the move {{m|Gravity}} is used, Fly, Bounce, and Sky Drop cannot be used, and any Pokémon in the air return to the ground with their move cancelled; due to [[Sky Drop glitch|a glitch]] in the [[Generation V]] games, if Gravity is used while Sky Drop is in effect, only the user will be returned to the ground—the target will be permanently stuck airborne.

Pokémon that have used {{m|Shadow Force}} or {{m|Phantom Force}} suddenly disappear, and there is no move that can hit these Pokémon without aiming or No Guard.

==In the spin-off games==

In this game, confusion is a non-volatile status. A confused Pokémon may randomly move and attack other Pokémon, including allies. If a Pokémon moves in its confusion, the [[Warrior]] is prevented from using an item or activating a [[Warrior Skill]] that turn. Confusion may wear off in the first turn.
