==Effect==
==Effect==
Court Change causes any active battle effects to swap sides. This affects barriers like [[Reflect]] and [[Light Screen]], multi-turn status conditions like [[Tailwind]], and entry hazards like [[Spikes]] and [[Stealth Rock]]. Court Change does not cause any Pokémon afflicted with a [[Status condition|status condition]] to pass it to another Pokémon, nor does it transfer any Pokémon's [[stat|stat changes]] to any other Pokémon. Because [[Weather]] and [[Terrain]] both affect the entire battle, Court Change will have no effect on [[Sandstorm]], [[Rain]], [[Hail]], [[Harsh sunlight|Harsh Sunlight]], [[Electric Terrain]], [[Grassy Terrain]], [[Misty Terrain]], and [[Psychic Terrain]]. Additionally, moves like [[Trick Room]], [[Magic Room]], and [[Wonder Room]] are all unaffected by Court Change.
Court Change causes any active battle effects to swap sides. This affects barriers like [[Reflect]] and [[Light Screen]], multi-turn status conditions like [[Tailwind]], and entry hazards like [[Spikes]] and [[Stealth Rock]]. Court Change does not cause any Pokémon afflicted with a volatile or non-volatile [[Status condition|status condition]] to pass that condition to another Pokémon, nor does it transfer any Pokémon's [[stat|stat changes]] to any other Pokémon. Because [[Weather]] and [[Terrain]] both affect the entire battle, Court Change will have no effect on [[Sandstorm]], [[Rain]], [[Hail]], [[Harsh sunlight|Harsh Sunlight]], [[Electric Terrain]], [[Grassy Terrain]], [[Misty Terrain]], and [[Psychic Terrain]]. Additionally, moves like [[Trick Room]], [[Magic Room]], and [[Wonder Room]] are all unaffected by Court Change.


If Court Change would transfer an [[Entry hazard|entry hazard]] to a Pokémon's side that would normally cause damage (i.e. [[Poison Spikes]] on a non-[[Poison|Poison-type]] Pokémon), it will not have any effect until a new Pokémon is switched out.
