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

Comatose is unaffected by effects that prevent sleep (such as {{m|Uproar}}, {{m|Electric Terrain}} and {{a|Sweet Veil}}). Comatose is unaffected by {{a|Mold Breaker}}, {{a|Turboblaze}} and {{a|Teravolt}}.
Comatose is unaffected by effects that prevent sleep (such as {{m|Uproar}}, {{m|Electric Terrain}} and {{a|Sweet Veil}}). Comatose is unaffected by {{a|Mold Breaker}}, {{a|Turboblaze}} and {{a|Teravolt}}. A Pokémon with {{a|Poison Touch}} using {{m|Sunsteel Strike}} cannot poison a target that has Comatose.


{{m|Role Play}}, {{m|Gastro Acid}}, {{m|Worry Seed}}, {{m|Simple Beam}}, and {{m|Entrainment}} fail if the target has the Ability Comatose. {{m|Skill Swap}} fails if either Pokémon has Comatose. A Pokémon with {{a|Poison Touch}} using {{m|Sunsteel Strike}}<!-- or Moongeist Beam?--> cannot poison a target that has Comatose. Comatose cannot be copied by {{a|Trace}}, {{a|Power of Alchemy}}, or {{a|Receiver}}. Comatose cannot be <!--replaced by {{a|Mummy}} or--> suppressed by {{m|Core Enforcer}}. If a Pokémon that has its Ability suppressed passes that effect to a Pokémon with Comatose via {{m|Baton Pass}}, that effect fades. If a Pokémon that already has its Ability suppressed obtains Comatose with {{m|Transform}}, Comatose's effects are suppressed (i.e. the Pokémon will not be protected from status conditions, is not treated as asleep for effects such as {{m|Sleep Talk}}, etc.).

If a Pokémon that already has a [[status condition]] gains Comatose (i.e. due to {{m|Transform}} or {{a|Imposter}}), it will not be cured of its status condition. If the Pokémon was asleep, the status has its normal effect, unaffected by Comatose.
