All Status Effects and Conditions

This is a list of all status effects and conditions in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet (SV). Read on to learn how to cure status effects, if a Pokemon can have multiple status effects, and what items prevent status conditions.

Major Status Effects and Conditions

A Pokemon can only have one major status condition at a time. For instance, a Pokemon cannot be burned and asleep at the same time. There are strategic applications for this, like inflicting burn on a Special Attacker to protect it from more debilitating status conditions such as sleep or paralysis.

These major status conditions are represented with graphics in-game that show what status condition a Pokemon is afflicted with.

Poison

A Pokemon that is poisoned has HP reduced at the end of every turn. The amount of HP reduction is 1/8 of the maximum HP of the Pokemon. If it doesn't faint, the poisoned Pokemon will still have its Poison condition after the battle is over.

Badly Poisoned

A badly poisoned Pokemon loses 1/16 of its maximum HP with cumulative damage for every succeeding turn that it is badly poisoned. Each instance of Poison damage this way will have 1/16 added to the total damage.

The Pokemon loses 1/16 its max HP for the first turn, 2/16 on the second turn, 3/16 on the third turn until the Pokemon is knocked out.

Sleep

A Pokemon that falls asleep will be unable to move until they wake up again. It will take about 2-5 turns for the Pokemon to wake up.

Other Factors that Prevent Freeze

Ice-type Pokemon can't be frozen. When present in battle, harsh sunlight also prevents Pokemon in the battle from being frozen.

Hidden Status Effects and Conditions

The following are status conditions that are not listed on your Pokemon's HP bar during battle. These status conditions can occur simultaneously with any of the 5 status conditions listed above.

Confusion

A confused Pokemon has the possibility of attacking and dealing damage to itself during battle. A Pokemon is capable of making itself feint due to attacking itself. Confusion is automatically recovered from after a few turns.

Abilities that Affect Confusion

Curse

When a Ghost-type Pokemon uses the move Curse, the target will be Cursed and take damage equivalent to 1/4 of its maximum HP every turn. No status condition is inflicted if a non-Ghost Type uses the move Curse.

Curse is cured if the cursed Pokemon switches out of battle or when the battle ends.

Curse Effect and Pokemon That Learn It

Infatuation

When a Pokemon uses the move Attract on a target of the opposite gender, the target Pokemon will become infatuated. Infatuated Pokemon sometimes refuse to attack the opposing Pokemon due to being immobilized by love.

Infatuation ends when either the infatuated Pokemon or the Pokemon it's infatuated with is switched out of battle.
