Status conditions (Japanese: 状態異常, Hepburn: status defects) are ailments that Pokémon can receive during battle. These status conditions are paralysis, poison, sleep, frozen, and burn. All these effects can be cured with a Lum Berry, a Full Heal, a Full Restore, a Lava Cookie, an Old Gateau, Heal Powder, a Miracle Berry, a Casteliacone, or Sacred Ash. Pokémon with the Synchronize ability can pass any status effect, apart from the sleep and frozen conditions, inflicted on them back to the Pokémon that inflicted the status effect.
Floor status conditions[]
Gravity[]
The floor is under the influence of heavy gravity, which makes Flying-type Pokémon weak to Ground-type moves. It makes those with the Levitate ability lose immunity to Ground-type moves, may suppress moves that use flying or jumping, and negates the Magnet Rise status.
Mud Sport[]
The floor is covered in mud, which halves the power of Electric-type moves.
Water Sport[]
The floor is covered in water, which halves the power of Fire-type moves.
Pokémon status conditions[]
Aqua Ring[]
The Pokémon regenerates HP every few turns. This status lasts a certain number of turns.
Badly Poisoned[]
A badly poisoned Pokémon is damaged every turn, but this damage increases over time. The first turn, the poisoned Pokémon takes 1/16 of the maximum HP in damage. That damage increases by an additional 1/16 of the max HP each turn. After a battle is over, the poisoned Pokémon will take damage (just like regular Poisoning). It can be cured with an Antidote, a PSNCureBerry, a Pecha Berry, or by continuing to the next floor. Poison and Steel type Pokémon cannot be poisoned, nor can Pokémon that have the ability Immunity or those behind a Substitute.

Fire-type Pokémon cannot be burned, nor can Pokémon with the ability Water Veil or those behind a Substitute.
Charging[]
The Pokémon charges up, so that an Electric-type move used on the next turn will have boosted power.
Confused[]
A confused Pokémon's sense of direction is completely scrambled. A confused Pokémon will remain so for one to four turns, during which it has a 50% chance of damaging themselves, or even teammates and being unable to perform any other action for that turn. This status effect can be used even if the Pokémon is inflicted with another status condition, like Paralysis or Burn. Confusion can be healed by switching out the confused Pokémon. It can also be cured by using a Persim Berry, a Bitter Berry, a Full Heal, or the Yellow Flute. Pokémon with the ability Own Tempo cannot be confused.
Constriction[]
The Pokémon becomes immobilized and sustains damage over several turns. This status lasts a certain number of turns.
