'''Comatose''' (Japanese: '''ぜったいねむり''' ''Sure Sleeper'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation VII]]. It is the [[signature Ability]] of {{p|Komala}}.

==Effect==
===In battle===
The Pokémon with this Ability is treated as if it is {{status|asleep}}, without having the [[status condition]]. The Pokémon with this Ability can still use moves (including successfully using {{m|Sleep Talk}} and {{m|Snore}}). It cannot be afflicted with [[Status condition#Non-volatile status|non-volatile status conditions]] or become drowsy due to {{m|Yawn}}.

The Pokémon with this Ability takes double damage from {{m|Hex}} and {{m|Wake-Up Slap}}; can be affected by {{m|Dream Eater}}, {{m|Nightmare}}, and {{a|Bad Dreams}}; and cannot successfully use {{m|Rest}}. However, due to not actually having the sleep status condition, the Pokémon with this Ability is not considered to have a status condition for the purposes of effects such as {{m|Purify}}, [[Chesto Berry|Chesto Berries]], and {{m|Beat Up}}.

Comatose is unaffected by effects that prevent sleep (such as {{m|Uproar}}, {{m|Electric Terrain}}, and {{a|Sweet Veil}}). Comatose is unaffected by {{a|Mold Breaker}}, {{a|Turboblaze}}, and {{a|Teravolt}}. A Pokémon with {{a|Poison Touch}} using {{m|Sunsteel Strike}} cannot poison a target that has Comatose.

{{m|Gastro Acid}}, {{m|Worry Seed}}, and {{m|Simple Beam}} fail if the target has the Ability Comatose. {{m|Role Play}}, {{m|Skill Swap}}, {{m|Entrainment}}, and {{m|Doodle}} fail if either Pokémon has Comatose. Comatose cannot be copied by {{a|Trace}}, {{a|Power of Alchemy}}, or {{a|Receiver}}. Comatose cannot be replaced by {{a|Mummy}} or {{a|Lingering Aroma}}, suppressed by {{m|Core Enforcer}} or {{a|Neutralizing Gas}}, or traded by {{a|Wandering Spirit}}. If a Pokémon that has its Ability suppressed passes that effect to a Pokémon with Comatose via {{m|Baton Pass}}, that effect fades. If a Pokémon that already has its Ability suppressed obtains Comatose with {{m|Transform}}, Comatose's effects are suppressed (i.e. the Pokémon will not be protected from status conditions, is not treated as asleep for effects such as {{m|Sleep Talk}}, etc.).

If a Pokémon that already has a status condition gains Comatose (i.e. due to Transform or {{a|Imposter}}), it will not be cured of its status condition. If the Pokémon was asleep, the status condition has its normal effect, unaffected by Comatose.

===Outside of battle===
Comatose has no effect outside of battle.
