Early Bird halves the {{status|Sleep|sleep}} duration. | Early Bird halves the {{status|Sleep|sleep}} duration. When the Pokémon is put to sleep, the number of turns it will remain asleep is preset, between 1 and 5 ([[Sleep (status condition)#Effect|the range depends on the generation]]). This number of turns is halved for a Pokémon with Early Bird, rounded down if it is odd. So if only 1 turn is preset, it is rounded down to 0, causing the Pokémon to wake up the next time it moves. | ||
