Status condition: Difference between revisions

'''Status conditions''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|状態異常|じょうたいいじょう}}''' ''abnormal condition''), also referred to as '''status problems''' or '''status ailments''', affect a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s ability to battle. There are two kinds of status conditions, non-volatile which last until healed, and volatile which last while a Pokémon is in battle. [[Pokérus]] and [[Fainted]] are similar concepts which are displayed identically to non-volatile status conditions but are not officially considered such.

Most moves which cause burn are {{type|Fire}} and burning the prime effect of {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}, however it also can be caused by the ability {{a|Flame Body}} or holding a [[Flame Orb]]. In Generations I and II, {{type|Fire}} Pokémon cannot be burned by Fire-type moves (but they can be burned by {{m|Tri Attack}} in Generation II). From Generation III onward, Fire-type Pokémon and Pokémon with the {{a|Water Veil}} or {{a|Water Bubble}} Ability cannot normally be burned. Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Heatproof}} will only lose half the HP each turn, while Pokémon with {{a|Magic Guard}} are immune to the HP loss (but still suffer from the attack drop). Pokémon with {{a|Flare Boost}} will have their {{stat|Special Attack}} increased when burned. A burn can be cured with the use of a [[Burn Heal]], [[Yago Berry]] ([[Generation III]] only), or a [[Rawst Berry]] ([[Ice Berry]] in [[Generation II]]).

A volatile status condition is a status condition that will wear off when a Pokémon is [[Recall|switched]] out of battle or when a battle is over. Many volatile status conditions will also wear off after a number of turns have passed. A Pokémon can be affected by multiple volatile status conditions at a time. Since they aren't shown in battle as a status condition (having an icon) a Pokémon can be affected with multiple volatile conditions and a non-volatile condition at the same time.

A Pokémon has one or more [[type]]s temporarily changed, added, or removed in battle.

When a Pokémon with the ability {{a|Illusion}} enters battle its appearance is changed to that of the last conscious, non-{{pkmn|Egg}} Pokémon in its Trainer's [[party]]. Illusion replicates the appearance (including species, [[List of Pokémon with form differences|form]], and [[Shiny Pokémon|Shininess]]), [[nickname]] (or species name if none), [[Poké Ball]], and [[gender]] of the Pokémon it is masquerading as; however, it does not replicate the level of the masqueraded Pokémon. The effect is only aesthetic—effects such as {{m|Attract}} still use the Pokémon's actual gender. The illusion disappears if the Pokémon has its Ability changed or suppressed or if it takes [[damage]] from a damaging move.

After three turns, all Pokémon who heard the {{m|Perish Song}} will faint, excluding Pokémon with the {{a|Soundproof}} Ability (except in Gen III-VII). Any Pokémon who heard it can avoid the effect of fainting if it is switched out before the three-turn count finishes. {{m|Baton Pass}} transfers the Perish Song countdown. The effect will also take place when {{a|Perish Body}} is activated.

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, including {{m|Stomp}}, {{m|Steamroller}}, {{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.

Laser Focus causes the user's move to result in a [[critical hit]] until the end of the next turn, unless that move's target has {{a|Battle Armor}}, {{a|Shell Armor}}, or is under the effect of {{m|Lucky Chant}}.

A charged Pokémon has the [[power]] (damage in Generation III) of its next {{type|Electric}} move doubled. Prior to Generation IX this condition would only last for the next turn, but now remains active until the next attempt to use an Electric-type move. Charge does not stack. A Pokémon can become Charged by using the move {{m|Charge}}, or by the abilities {{a|Electromorphosis}} and {{a|Wind Power}}.  

=====Stockpile Count=====

Each time the move {{m|Stockpile}} is used the user will stockpile energy, up to a count of three. The moves {{m|Spit Up}} and {{m|Swallow}} inflict damage and heal the user based on the number of stockpiles, respectively, but also reset the stockpile count. Both moves fail if the stockpile count is zero.

A Pokémon under the effect of {{m|Disable}} is unable to use a specific [[move]] for 0-7 turns in Generation I, 2-8 turns in Generation II, 2-5 turns in Generation III, 4-7 turns in Generation IV, and 4 turns in Generation V onwards. In Generation I the disabled move is randomly selected among the target's moves whose current PP is greater than 0. In Generation II onwards, the disabled move is the last move that the target used. Disable fails if one of the target's moves is already disabled. Disable does not affect Pokémon under the protection of {{a|Aroma Veil}}.

A Pokémon affected by {{m|Heal Block}} or {{m|Psychic Noise}} is prevented from healing for five turns.

While a Pokémon is under the effect of {{m|Imprison}}, its opponents cannot use any move which is also known by the user. A Pokémon will use {{m|Struggle}} if it has no other available moves with [[PP]] remaining besides moves blocked by Imprison.

A Pokémon hit by the move {{m|Throat Chop}} will be unable to use {{cat|sound-based moves}} for two turns.

A Pokémon can become pumped by using the move {{m|Focus Energy}} or if the item [[Dire Hit]] is used on it. In Generation I, a pumped Pokémon is 75% less likely to land a critical hit. In Generation II, a pumped Pokémon has its critical hit rate increased by {{DL|Critical hit|Probability_2|one stage}}. In Generation III and in later games, a pumped Pokémon has its critical hit rate increased by two stages.

The move {{m|Power Trick}} swaps the user's base stat of attack and base stat of defense. This effect is passed by {{m|Baton Pass}}.

{{main|Category:Choice items}}

If a Pokémon uses {{m|Uproar}} it will be forced to use that move for 3 turns (2-5 in Generations III and IV). While a Pokémon is Making an uproar, other Pokémon will be unable to {{status|sleep}}, unless they have the ability {{a|Soundproof}} in Generations III and IV.

If a Pokémon uses {{m|Bide}} the user will be unable to select a move for an idling period of 2 turns (2-3 in Generations I and II) though it will still be able to switch out during the move's effect. Afterwards, Bide will do damage equal to twice the damage received during the idling period. If the user is not directly attacked during the biding period, it will fail on the turn it would have released.

| class="l" | User and target become semi-invulnerable. Ends early if user or target [[faints]].

A protected Pokémon will be unaffected by [[physical]], [[special]], and/or [[status moves]] during one turn depending on the [[Protection]] move used.

In [[Pokémon Shuffle]], all status conditions will wear off as turns pass. Status conditions can be inflicted onto the opponent by {{OBP|Skill|Shuffle}}s when matching Pokémon icons.

The Skill {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Relentless}} will increase the damage of combos against a foe that has a status condition.

The Skill {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Mind Zap}} cannot activate against a foe that has a status condition.

* '''Disruption Delay''' - The Pokémon cannot use disruptions, and their disruption countdown is paused. This is inflicted by the [[File:Disruption Delay.png|20px|link=]] Disruption Delay item, as well as the Skills {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Astonish}}, {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Chill}}, {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Constrict}}, {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Crushing Step}}, {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Daunt}}, {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Fascinate}}, {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Flap}}, {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Sand Sport}}, or {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Whirlpool}}.
