The Pokémon with this Ability is treated as if it is {{status|asleep}}, without having the [[status condition]]. 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}}.


{{AbilityResearch|Does {{m|Purify}} restore its user's HP if used on a Pokémon with Comatose? Can {{m|Psycho Shift}} be used by a Pokémon with Comatose to make other Pokémon fall asleep? Can a Pokémon with Comatose consume a held [[Chesto Berry]] or [[Lum Berry]]?}}
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}}. However, due to not actually having the sleep status condition, the Pokémon with this Ability is not considered to have a status condition for the purposes of effects such as {{m|Purify}} and [[Chesto Berry|Chesto Berries]].
 
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 is treated as if it was asleep by most effects based on status conditions; it 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}}. A Pokémon with {{a|Poison Touch}} using {{m|Sunsteel Strike}} cannot poison a target that has Comatose.
