The paralysis condition (PAR) reduces the Pokémon's {{stat|Speed}} stat and causes it to have a 25% chance of being unable to use a move ("fully paralyzed") when trying to use one.

From Generation I to VI, its Speed is reduced to 25% of its normal value. From [[Generation VII]] onward, its Speed is reduced to 50% of its normal value. Pokémon with the {{a|Quick Feet}} Ability instead have their Speed increased by 50% while paralyzed. In [[Generation V]], Pokémon glow yellow while afflicted with paralysis and their animation will be slowed significantly. | ||
Many moves that cause paralysis are {{type|Electric}} moves and paralysis is the main effect of the move {{m|Thunder Wave}}. It can also be caused by {{a|Static}}, {{a|Effect Spore}}, or {{a|Gulp Missile}}. In Generation I, Pokémon cannot be paralyzed by damaging moves of the same type as themselves. From [[Generation VI]] onward, {{type|Electric}} Pokémon cannot be paralyzed. Pokémon with the {{a|Limber}} Ability cannot normally be paralyzed. Furthermore, if its target is paralyzed, {{m|Smelling Salts}} will cure the paralysis in addition to becoming more powerful. Paralysis can be cured with the use of a [[Paralyze Heal]] or a [[Cheri Berry]] ([[PRZCureBerry]] in [[Generation II]]). In Generation IV only, the Ability {{a|Magic Guard}} will prevent Pokémon from being fully paralyzed; however, it does not prevent the Speed reduction. | Many moves that cause paralysis are {{type|Electric}} moves and paralysis is the main effect of the move {{m|Thunder Wave}}.
