Good as Gold is an Ability in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet (SV). Read to see its effects in or outside of battle and the Pokemon that have access to Good as Gold as their Ability or Hidden Ability.

Good as Gold Effect

Good as Gold
The Pokemon is immune from all status moves.

List of Abilities

Immunity to All Status Moves

The ability Good as Gold prevents its user from being inflicted by status effects caused by status moves.

Status moves are those that directly inflict status effects to the user like Thunder Wave. This also includes stat-reducing moves like Growl or Screech.

Check out the list of all the status moves below to see which moves a Pokemon with the Good as Gold ability is immune to.

List of Status Moves

Not Immune to Secondary Effects of Physical or Special Moves

It should be noted that Special and Physical moves are not status moves. Therefore, if a Pokemon with the ability Good as Gold is hit with any Physical or Special move, there's still a chance that they will end up with a status effect that is a secondary effect of the move that it's hit with.

For example, if the user is hit by Flamethrower, there's still a chance that they might end up with a burn since Flamethrower is a Special move and not a Status move. Another example is Salt Cure, which should still deal damage on a Pokemon with Good as Gold.

Not Immune to Trapping Moves

Pokemon with the Good as Gold Ability are also not immune to trapping moves as long as the move is classified as either Physical or Special.

In Tera Raids, your ability can be nullified by the Also, Toadscruel has an ability (Mycelium Might) that lets its status moves ignore abilities. As stated above, moves with additional moves that cause status *effects* (paralysis, confusion, et cetera) are not status *moves* (thunder wave, roar, etc). They are special/physical moves and therefore not affected by Good as Gold
