Status Condition

Status conditions are effects that can be given to a Pokémon. These conditions can be afflicted by moves, Abilities, Orbs, traps, or certain tiles when stepped on. Pokémon can have immunities to certain or all bad status conditions through the use of moves, Abilities, Gems, family items, scarves, berries, and other held and consumable items. A Pokémon's status condition can be healed through most of the same methods.

Non-volatile
Non-volatile status conditions are bad conditions that will stay with the afflicted Pokémon until properly healed, like by eating a berry that heals the respective condition, through using moves like Refresh, Heal Bell, or Aromatherapy, etc. Pokémon with Hydration, Shed Skin or Natural Cure can heal themselves without items. Pokémon cannot be affected by non-volatile status conditions if they have the Comatose Ability. A Pokémon already afflicted with a non-volatile status condition also cannot be afflicted with another at the same time.

Burn
A Pokémon that is inflicted with a burn will have its attack stat halved and take damage when it takes a turn. The damage taken depends on the user's maximum HP. Lava tiles, burning water such as the water found in Sauna Cavern, or a Flame Trap will burn a Pokémon who is not immune to it if traveled over. Pokémon who hold a Flame Orb can also inflict the status condition on themselves when they pass a turn. If the Pokémon is capable of traveling on water tiles, stepping onto one will heal its burn if it has one. Pokémon that are Fire-type or have the Ability Water Bubble are unable to be burned. Pokémon with the Ability Guts will not be affected by the Attack reduction if burned.

Freeze
When a Pokémon is frozen, it will be unable to move or act, but can still be switched out by another team member. An afflicted Pokémon is able to unfreeze by passing turns. How many turns freeze lasts depends on how the condition was caused. Tiles such as the water found in Deep Winden Forest or a Freeze Trap can freeze a Pokémon who is not immune to it if traveled over. Pokémon who hold a Freeze Orb can also inflict the status condition on themselves when they pass a turn. Pokémon that are Ice-type or have the Ability Magma Armor are unable to be frozen.

Paralysis
When paralyzed, a Pokémon will sometimes fail to use attacks or items and is unable to run using 🇧🇹 inside of dungeons. Petrify Orbs will inflict paralysis on every enemy Pokémon that is nearby the user. Tiles such as the water found in Voltaic Rainforest or a Static Trap can paralyze a Pokémon who is not immune to it if traveled over. Pokémon who hold a Static Orb can also inflict the status condition on themselves when they pass a turn. Pokémon that are Electric-type or have the Ability Limber are unable to be paralyzed.

Poison
Poisoned Pokémon will take damage every two-three tiles they move. An afflicted Pokémon will not take damage from using moves or items. If a Pokémon is poisoned, it will not take damage if another team member moves around the floor/map. Tiles such as the water found in Caustic Sewers or a Poison Trap can poison a Pokémon who is not immune to it if traveled over. Pokémon who hold a Toxic Orb can also inflict the status condition on themselves when they pass a turn. Pokémon that are Poison- or Steel-type or have the Ability Immunity are unable to be poisoned, but Pokémon with Corrosion are still able to poison Poison- and Steel-types. Pokémon that have Poison Heal as one of their Abilities can still get poisoned, but will be healed instead of harmed.

Sleep
Sleeping Pokémon will be unable to move or act, but can still be switched out by another team member. An afflicted Pokémon is able to wake up by passing turns. How many turns sleep lasts depends on how the condition was caused. Slumber Orbs will inflict sleep on every enemy Pokémon that is nearby the user. Being asleep makes Pokémon vulnerable to the moves Dream Eater, Nightmare, and the Ability Bad Dreams, but able to use the moves Sleep Talk and Snore. Pokémon who hold a Dreamy Orb or use the move Rest can also inflict the status condition on themselves. Stepping on a Slumber Trap can inflict sleep on a Pokémon. Pokémon that have the Ability Insomnia, Vital Spirit, are under the effects of Sweet Veil, or have been hit with Uproar can not be put asleep.

Volatile
Volatile status conditions will typically only last for a given amount of steps or turns, or unless properly treated with a consumable item that cures bad volatile status conditions. Unlike non-volatile status conditions, volatile ones will always wear off upon changing floors or maps, on top of their initial duration.

Bound
Bound Pokémon will be immobilized for three turns, losing 1/16 of their HP rounded down each turn. This effect is only caused by moves such as Sand Tomb, Whirlpool, Fire Spin, Infestation, etc. If a Pokémon is holding a Shed Shell, has the Ability Run Away or is a Ghost-type, it cannot be bounded.

Blind
When a Pokémon is blind, the entire map is darkened and they have no range of vision. Blindness lasts 20 steps. The only way to blind a Pokémon is using Secret Power under the right conditions, or a family items that may inflict blindness.

Trivia

 * Pokémon such as Zangoose who have an Ability that benefits from a status and an Ability preventing it allow the respective status to bypass the immunity.
 * In certain dungeons, Pokémon can spawn already afflicted with a non-volatile status condition. For example, it is possible to find Pokémon in Winden Forest that are frozen.
